I'm so happy that Project Runway is back on! YAY!

Why oh Why?

Did I think I could build a doll house all by myself?

Did I stay up until 3am redesigning said dollhouse AND pulling a gazillion splinters out of my fingers?

Did I think we'd get any peace and quiet this summer?

Did this morning have to be the morning our yard gets a haircut?

Why doesn't this blog update itself?

How come that cute little altered traincase (see post before last) didn't magically transform me into Sabrina Ward-Harrison?

These are the questions I ponder this morning.

RIP Vera

I just learned that Miz Vera Lucia from Brazil passed away on June 12th. Her bright light will be missed in this artist community of ours. The Collage Cat group sends our deepest sympathies to Vera's family.

Art Journaling Trunk

An art journaler I am not. I don't know why. I love art journals (other people's anyway). In a last ditch attempt to join in all this journaling fun I made myself a little toolbox. Pink and girly, I'm hoping it'll inspire me to play in my moleskin journals. It can't hurt to have everything in one handy spot right?

look what all I was able to stuff into this thing!

Now that I'm packed...where should I go? hmmmm?

Some new art

Hey guys!

I got to play w/ some paint today, so I am once again a calm and happy girl. It kills me how I get so yucky when I haven't been able to release any creativity for awhile. I swear if I didn't make art I'd probably explode!

These canvases are for JJ's room using his color palette--they look really cute in there. I could get used to this graphic style of painting (don't tell anyone... it's really EASY!) I wish all the detail would show up in this photo, but sigh it doesn't so you'll just have to trust me that they are cooler in person than they appear on your screen ;)

I made these for Cole the other day to hang in his new house.

and here's a little wooden piece I finally got around to finishing...it's so *not* what I'd usually do, but that's what the muse handed me.

WARNING WARNING..LOTS OF VACATION PHOTOS COMING SOON!

xoxs to all

Will share pics here soon
