It Is Never To Late to Fly...

We Are Stardust, We Are Golden..

I wanted to show you where my stardust (glitter) now lives in my studio. It got a new home after the Paris Fea Market last week. i think it was meant to be cuz it all fit just perfect in there. I love glitz and use it on alot of stuff. I love it so much, somehow my husband keeps going to work wearing it. He doesn't like it when people say...."Sir do you know you have glitter on your face?"

Oh, The Wild Joys Of Living...

I just am not ready to give up my love affaire with tags. No matter what I do I can't seem to stay away from these addictive little drug like Monkey -on-my-backs. I can't stop buying them in bulk. I can't stop cutting them out, in every shape imaginable, I even dream about these stupid things. I'd say I've got it pretty bad for them!.

Some of you out there undertand this I know. But for others, that think I am loopy just deal with it for today ok? lol

Know I will be on some other rant tomorrow. Some other rant, but I will still be doing tags. Hey, I just got a fresh box of 500! And I've got plans for every single one. Believe me!

May You Live Every Day Of Your Life...

I am back. I took a little siesta kinda.

lol. Actually, I have been working hard on my consignments and getting my second Etsy site going. If you haven't been there yet, stop on by.

NostalgicHeirlooms.etsy.com

I did make these Nostalgic Heirlooms, shown here yesterday. They are perfect to hold a gift card, jewelry, small gifts, money, or anything else you can dream up. I haven't decided if I will put any on Etsy or not as i am not sure how they will ship. maybe I will keep they here for consignment.

I went out for Thai food today with an old friend. It was sure good! Dr. Lee if you are reading this, I know I said I'd stay out of restaurants but this was a special occassion. ok? And "yes" I had the brown rice. So I did do a "good thing" He watches me like a hawk. (sigh) Small town living.

Anyway, back to the studio...

AHHHH!!!...A Paris Flea Market, In The good ole USA

I arrived early and when I say early, I mean first one there, to the annual Paris Flea Market yesterday. What is it you may ask? It is a collage artists dream come true of a sale! It is put on by a greeting card designer who is a crazy paper freak kind of like me. She sells bags and bags of exotic papers that she doesn't want or use any more. OMG beautiful stuff!!!! Then she sell bags of ribbon pieces the same way and trims, and flowers. It's just a wonderland.
She sells charms by the bag too. I wish I would have taken a pic of all I got before I put it away just so you could see it all.
She told me she's going to be doing this twice a year now. Hooray!!!! I swear I barely slept all week just thinking about what might be there. Oh, yeah later I will take a pic of my new glitter holder I got there. Well, it's not really a glitter holder but it is now. Very cool in the studio I must say!
Well, I hope you like these 3 little collages up today. The paper I used is from the PFM and notice those little ball trims. They are vintage floral pieces I got yesterday. I wish she had more, I bought all she had but it wasn't many I love them though. Anyway, back to creating. Til next time!

We Start Them Young In Our Family....

My sister called today and Jacy (her little sweetheart) was coming over for some "ART time."She asked if I could part with any of my treasures and I said of course, cuz she's my little sweetheart too! I make my sister share cuz I don't have any grandchildren yet and it's not looking like I'm going to get any, any time soon! So, my little treasure bag is going to Jacy tomorrow and I hope she has fun with it. My sister said she has black meat trays she's been saving. Those will be her little canvas, smeared with white glue and I am guessing the finished results will all be 3 year old masterpieces!

Swing, It's Your Day.....

Dance! Ahhh! The beauty of it. I love every aspect of it. Everything to do with it. Do I watch "Dancing With The Stars?" Of course!

I met my husband in a dance class. We love dancing. Not that we've been doing any lately! I told my daughter, who's engaged I hope I can dance at your wedding. Good thing she hasn't set a date yet! Plenty of time for me to heal from this surgery and extra time to heal from the next in case I need another(waiting for 6/6) to find out.

Until those days when I can dance again, I will have to settle on dance art. To see more go here if you'd like!
