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.

 

Please check out her blog for other creative things.

I've been out of it over the last few days.

 

 Here is my story.

 

I ran as fast as I could, hiding here and there, leaping tall buildings with a single bound, I was faster than a speeding bullet and more power than a locomotive, but to no avail!

I was mowed down, rolled over, slapped and kicked to the curb.

 

IT GOT ME!!!

 

The dreaded crud.

Coughing, dripping, sneezing, sweating, headachy, feverish and all that crap including the kitchen sink. Yes, I had encountered the infamous upper respiratory illness.

 

I am on the road to recovery, but I still feel like I've been draged through a knot hole. It will take time but I will bounce back.

 

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

 

 

 

 

Doodles and Beyond...

I start out making my own backgrounds. I find it fun using liquid watercolors, they are messy but I like the way they turn out.


 

I also use different textures of paper, watercolor color paper is my favorite.
Each paper gives a different look.

 

I use different thickness of markers and pens.


 Brush tip markers are fun to use.

 

You can use different kinds of colored inks.

 

Color makes a difference.

 

Give it a try. The possibilities are endless.

 

Tis The Season...

 I thought that I might share  something with a little sparkle.

 All glass beads were used.
