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!

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



Hope everyone is having a great week!
