Was thinking today...




Today I'd like to share with you three of my favorite quotes. They are all "Winnie the Poo" and written by A.A. Milne.


1. "One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constanly making exciting discoveries."
2. "It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?"
3. "A little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference. "

My readers, my friends...I love you! ❤❤❤

Playing in my Jammies again!!

I've been busy making an assortment of Gift Tags, Note Cards and Mother's Day cards. I am having so much fun! Getting back to the basics was just what I needed. A lot more mainstream than what I've been doing for the last few years, but I guess I needed a change!

Easter in two weeks....back to basics for me

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!

My "Art Creations Friday" belated entry for this week...

Do you ever participate in any of the online art challenges? One of my favorites is the Art Creations Friday Blog.  Art Creations Friday is a lovely Blog Challenge site hostessed by Vintage Wil, Hermine, Femmy, and Pepeetje  every week. Every friday they post a new challenge, a picture or a background. In order to participate in the challenge, you must use that picture or background to make an atc or card, or something else you like, add your art work to your blog and a add a direct link under the comments section on the Art Creations Friday Blog. This week they offered both an image and a background. The background was bluish-gray---a real challenge for me (hahaha)!!! Here is my contribution....




a new piece added to my Etsy Shop....

I'm creating art one piece at a time. My newest addition to my Etsy Shop....
