A Little Sparkle...

 

 

I was recently visiting a older cousin in an assisted living program. She is 92. We talked for a while and she mentioned that she remembered that I liked her sparkly jewelry. She is known for her jewelry. She said that she had some that she no longer needed or wanted.

 

 

 She handed me a small box of things, told me not to open it there so I said I wouldn't.

 We visited for a little while longer and then it was dinner time for her. I wheeled her down to the dinning room and I said my good byes and left. It seemed  that it took me forever to get home but I made it.

 This is what I received.

 Necklace, earrings and bracelet.

I am asking all of you what do you think?

Packages...

Over the last two weeks, after being under the weather again, I received two really special packages.

 

 

One, from Lynn at Trash To Treasure Art. This is the greatest ring ever. It will go with just about everything. Please check out her blog and see what else she makes.

 

 

 

 

 

The second package came from Stacy at Magic Love Crow. I haven't started this very intriguing book yet, but it looks like it could be awesome. Please check out her blog and see all of her paintings of crows.

 

Both of these bloggers are amazing artists so, please visit them soon.

 

Talking about the weather. Has anyone seen Spring yet?

Blocks Of Art

I would like to introduce my latest endeavor.

I call them Blocks of Art.

If you go back a few posts ago,  you might remember that I was experimenting with backgrounds. I was also playing around with doodling. With this new attempt I have put them together!

 

 

The process starts by doodling on  drawing paper.

I use a fine brush tip marker, which allows for varing widths of lines. Then I incorperate different types of pens. I have fun doodling, but tend towards flowers.

 

 I mount the designed papers on blocks of wood of various sizes.

 I present them on small easels. I think they are so cute.

 They fit nicely on a  bookshelf or anywhere.

They will soon appear in my ETSY store.

 

This is what I woke up to this morning.

I couldn't resist taking these...

Isn't nature beautiful?

 

 

 

I recently won a giveaway and this is what I received. A beautiful peace sign strung on ribbon and for an added surprise I was also given a bracelet to match.

 

I won this from Sue at Wicked Faerie Queen.

 

Please hop over to her blog and check out the other things she makes and does.

 

Thank you Sue.

 

After  being under the weather for nearly two and a half weeks, I got a great surprise in the mail yesterday.

 

 

 

From Debbie at The Other Side Of Deb.

She made this  combination Get Well Soon and Valentines Day card.

It made me smile.
