TGIF

Hope everyone had a great week!

I purchased some new digital kits this week from Mountain-Top Designs by Suzi Wollman. She has a great Etsy store, so please check her designs out.

Here are some of the digital collages I made this evening using her digital kits and a few other digital frames.

I kept busy today cleaning my art studio and putting away the Christmas items. Getting ready for new art items in January. I will be making some ATCs, altered journals, and 5x7 collages to sell in my Etsy store. So please check my store in January!

December ~ Where has the days gone?

Hello all!

I cannot believe it is already the 15th of December! Only 10 days until Christmas!

I have provided you some photos of our kitchen Christmas tree and some of my santa collection!

This is one of my favorites!

The Shabby Cottage Studio December design project was the home theme. Gail (owner of The Shabby Cottage Studio ~ check our her on-line store!) sent all of us a house form from her store. I altered my kitchen photos using PSE showcasing some of my MANY santas!

Hope everyone is having a great December so far! Have you finished your Christmas shopping? If not, try to have some fun in malls and crowds....take a break at the bookstore or food court, have a coke or coffee and watch everyone!

Take care !

Our son, Andrew, is returning from Iraq on Sunday. My husband is so excited about his homecoming! He will be on his way to West Point for his next and final assignment within the next couple of weeks. This is photo of Andrew and his dad before he left for Iraq. We are SO proud of him!

Have a safe and wonderful weekend!

I just love the colors and the precious vintage photo.

HOORAY...purchased Photoshop 6.0!

Well, today I purchased Photoshop 6.0. I am so glad I waited to purchase the SW. The new release came out on Monday. The SW bundle with Elements 4.0 is not available for download, so it will not arrive for about 4 days. :(

I have been busy with making some Christmas gifts for family. So that has kept me busy. But I am loving all the new stuff I have bought to make these gifts. So I am having fun with these projects.

I have attached some additional collages that are part of a series called Memories. I am going to provide PNG images in the future for my artist friends to use in their art. I am not going to sell these items as I feel that some our given talents should be shared. So keep checking back for those little surprises.

Hope everyone has a great and safe week.

Went to antique mall today and had lunch at their tea room

Today I had to go grocery shopping but decided at the last minute to visit an antique mall. I had lunch at their tea room ~ just wonderful (and the best!) chicken salad!

I met two wonderful ladies today while at the tea room. A wonderful mother, Faith, and her lovely daughter, April. What a delightful surprise! They sell on eBay ~ they both have eBay stores ~ ChabbyShic and the*lady*loft. So you should check out their stores. I told them about selling on Etsy. For some reason it was just nice having a great conversation about our shared interest in vintage thrift and antique shopping.

They were on their way to a family wedding.

I did go around the antique mall for about 45 minutes and purchased an old truck. Which I plan on storing some of my MANY quilts. It was a great find for $35.00!

Then reality set in...I had to go to the grocery store. I don't know which I dislike more laundry or grocery shopping.

Take care!

Starting this week I will be adding a vintage photo for your use ~ Freebie Friday.

Well...my month trail of PhotoShop is up!

So I guess I will be purchasing it this week. I really would like the professional package but need to still work on my husband for the purchase. Now that I am retired I feel quilty if I go out and buy something....up is up with that feeling?

Here is a digital collage I made using a family photo.
