I've been busy making more Easter cards. Taking a rest from the real "Artsy" and gone back to the basics---stamping and card making. That is where my "mixed media" journey began many years ago and I am having fun getting back to "my roots". Some of my cards are listed and selling in my Etsy Shop---what fun!!! Started out as a lark to see if any would sell and was surprised to see sales coming in! Check out my shop "Paperlicious and Other Oddities" cards and other paperlicious things!
I had great success selling my Chinese New Year cards on Etsy, and now my St. Patty's Day cards are beginning to sell too! How fun to open my email and find another sale.
I seem to be back in the "creative zone"! "Theme Thursday Challenge" is another challenge blog that I love. This week the theme is "BUSY" and I just finished a page in one of my art journals that is quite busy!! So here it is...
I'm creating art one piece at a time. My newest addition to my Etsy Shop....
Hmmmmm...time to join the land of the living again??? Thinking about it. Check back soon.
If I thought I was behind before...that was nothing compared to where I am now!! I am now in the "SUPER SLOW" mode. It seems that I have broken both my left ankle and my left foot. I chose to go Patriotic with my cast---I think that it brightened the Orthopedic Nurse's day to be a bit creative. About a 4-6 week healing time required---weight bearing as tolerated. I guess I am tolerating (with a little help from my friends), although the pain medication makes me really, really sleepy and non-functional. They say stuff happens for a reason. Hmmmm....the reason is ????
Another ATC. This one is for the Created By Hand Tuesday Challenge Pink & Green
Here is an entry for this week's challenge at "Theme Thursday". The theme this week is Masculine.
A public admission---I am the "world's worst" blogger, emailer, responder, regular snail mailer, etc.. I am the slowest art creator and I get myself over involved and committed and I FREAK OUT. In the past I have just hidden away and stopped communicating when I couldn't keep up. I am currently working on that issue, so if I owe you a response to a comment or email, a serious THANK YOU, a piece/pieces of art in an exchange or anything else---PLEASE be patient. I am working on it. Getting overwhelmed and procrastinating is one of my biggest flaws/faults/quirks. I hope you can love me, appreciate me and remain friends with me just the way I am. I am a work in progress.
The wonderful world of Blogging has brought me a new creative friend. Her name is Janet. She lives in Northern California (Ft. Jones) up by the Oregon border. Where else than on the Internet do we have such wonderful opportunities to meet people who touch our hearts?? I found the "Playing For Change" video on her blog---it spoke to me and I need to share it with you. It is beautiful and validates what we all really know---we are all connected.
Enjoy and reflect---the music and the story behind it...
I am the lucky winner...
I entered the "100th Post BladeRubber Stamps Blog-versary Giveaway" and won. Why should you be jealous you might ask---well, let me show and tell you why!!! To celebrate this special anniversary, Kaye and Graham of BladeRubber Stamps decided to give away a brand new, EXCLUSIVE set of unmounted stamps designed by the FABULOUS Susie Jefferson. They debuted on the BladeRubber Stamps blog on April 27th for the very first time! These designs are so new, they aren't even in production yet (and are only available by special order at present).
The winner (ME!!!) of the Giveaway gets all three stamps! Each stamp comes with its own First Edition Authentication Certificate... a real collector's item. And NOW they are mine!!! So here they are...

Did somebody say "Challenge"???? When I did these I wasn't thinking of a specific theme or challenge (other than I am attending the "live ATC trade" at Dick Blicks and needed some ATC's), but it seems that what I do is Collage and the theme at "Saturday's Workout Challenge Site" is Collage, so I am going to share these as my entry to the challenge for this week.
This weeks theme at the Sunday Postcard Challenge Blog is Butterflies...
I thought it would be fun to enter a few of this week's Art Challenges. The Challenge at Wednesday Stamper Challenge Blog was to use the color Orange. Orange just happens to be my favorite creative color!! My ATC, Live Life...
