BONNE ANNEE










These are the cards I made for the challenge on Art Cafe. Happy New Year.

This is my little precious_Jasper. We got him for Emily, but he quickly became my baby. Em was cleaning up the nest her dog made under the table and naturally Jasper had to be in the midst of all the excitement. That's my baby.

No photos to share at this time, but even better!!! How about 25 free images to download and use in your art? Lisa Vollrath is offering 25 days of free images-one each day til Christmas. Here's the link:

Hope you enjoy her stuff. I sure do. Karen

Gearing up for the holidays

Getting ready for the holiday season. As usual, I will be working on Thanksgiving day. I request that holiday. I like to cook a nice hot meal for our clients who do not have family or who cannot get to their families. This year I will be doing a brunch with a casserole, fruit, OJ, muffins and whatever other goodies I can manage to come up with by then.

The images are of atcs I have made for a swap. Some of them were to go to another group's swap, but the group was closed. Thank goodness another group offered a similar swap, so I am in business. Then on yet another group there was another swap and I signed up for that one, too. I may need to make ALOT for that one, but we will just have to see. I'm not too crazy about trees and just have a little Charlie Brown tree, but I love the creation part........

Just some extras

On the 8th I took my sis-in-law, her 2 older girls from her 1st marriage, and my niece Kennise. She is 14 months old and a little rip. The first photo is of her when she was trying to get the goat to come to her. Second is Nissy with her mom Zilphia {Z}, and the last one on the top is her strapped into the swing with her pumpkin. She was not happy. The bottom photos are Nissy and her oldest sister senovia.
The very last photo os Snickers-the newest member of the family. Emily is putting a $100 bill in her mouth to take her photo with it. Teenagers!!

Happy Harvesttime

It is the harvest season again. I love the fall, but it is murder on my allergies. I still like to get out in the brisk, cool weather, though.
I have been busy making art!!! I am in several swaps and unless I am under a deadline, it seems like I cannot get myself to do a darned thing. Once I get going, however, I really fell the muse taking over.
This is one I made for a friend at work. Her daughter had tried to get pregnant for years and a couple weeks ago, they were given the gift of Analise. They know thery are blessed and she will be loved.
The tree sits next to my desk at work. I have been adding hangers to the 4x4s I have been making. These were made over a series of days. I love the fall colors. I hope you can see the 4x4s better with the other photos.
In here are also a couple of challenge pieces I did for MMAN. The theme was Gothic Arches. I want to add some stuff but I am really ticked that I cannot choose where the photos end up on the posts. Or if you can choose, I haven't figured it out. No big surprise there. So NExt time.....

Last of the board book pages

I definately do not blog often enough to remember how to do all this stuff. These are the last 2 pages from the board books. That's my Eiffel Tower in the background. One of my fetishes.
