Hello Dear Friends.... So I'm here again!...I may just start blogging once more!! I wanted to share with you a simple little collage I made this week. I used a vintage book cover as my base. I love the dark green base for the collage. The little girl is from Paper Whimsy. Since I wanted to make something to herald in springtime...I decided to use some vintage ephemera that I have collected over the years. I used a vintage book page from some nature pages my friend Tina had sent to me from Denmark. The feather I have the little girl holding is from a friend in British Columbia, from one of her birds, who donates his feathers!! LOL......I also used a wee little nest I was gifted in a swap a couple of years ago. The little metal hanger I though was a cute way to hang the collage...On the little label it says "Magical"!

Prayers and a Baby Girl on the Way...
scan Originally uploaded by sjmcdowell My oldest son Andy and his wife Dawn found out last week that their baby will be a girl.

So this is great news and PLEASE say some prayers that this little girl will be healthy and that all will go well!! It has been such a heartbreaking trial these past two years and they want a baby so badly. Just before they found out they were pregnant they had finished up the last of the paper w...
Just Peeking In To Say Hi!!
Hi Everyone!! Hoping All of you are enjoying 2013 so far!! As for me...well I am sick with one of those horrible Flu like Virus' that are going around. Sorry to say I don't look as healthy as I do in this photo I took of myself on New Years Eve. At the moment I look like death warmed over, and feel like it!! Hoping to get back into my craft room when I feel better, and start going through a lot of my stuff and get rid of things I don't need anymore!! When the fabrics, ribbons, laces and such are all in their rightful places my mind can start thinking of new ideas and then the creative juices can once again flow. Drop in and say Hi...I love hearing from you!! Love and Blessings to All Susan XOXOX
Hi Susan....So glad you stopped by this morning. Another Su..san and a Girl Raised In The South? I had to come visit you to tell you that I loved PaperDolls, too. And since your blog title indicates you are an 'Art Person', I thought you might like to know that the Artists for the 1956 Calendar was a PaperDoll artist and Illustrator for the Saturday Evening Post. I will post about her and more about the 1956 Calendar later this week. I hope you'll come back for that and to SignUp for 'My BlogginBirthday Bash'...Your invitation is right under the header on CollectInTexas Gal.
