Happy New Year....what's new?!!!

Shocking though it may be, I am finally blogging again! The reason I haven't been posting more in the past several months, is not only that I have been working a 40 hour/week job (that I love...) but I haven't had much to share. I spend hardly any time in the attic any more - which does NOT mean I am not creating. I have been immersed in the world of set design, which is something I am passionate about. (The minute I get some good pictures, I will share what I worked on for Christmas Eve services. It was definitely 'smoke 'n mirrors' on steroids!)

But today I have something pretty sweet to tell you about...I have been in the attic the past week or so working on a lovely little design for my friend Susan Branch.....

This week she unveils her latest offering for Valentine's Day....

Interested????

Stay tuned.....

Hugs,



I can hardly contain myself...

I am so excited right now.

Excited about new projects...

Like these:

I am calling them my new Bodacious Bubbles.

...because these are whoppers!

They are 1 1/4" wide and magnify whatever I choose to sandwich between their bodacious, bubbly domes.

I have decided to go with some wonderful combinations of whimsical fonts and images, backed with scraps from this law book my friend Virginia gave me.

Thank you Virginia!

 I told you I would find a cool way to use this.

What else am I excited about?????

I just finished work on the first batch of Susan Branch's newest, limited edition ornament:

...but I can't reveal it to you yet.

not until she does, so stay tuned!

As if that's not enough to be excited about.....

I have been accepted into Custer's Arts & Crafts extravaganza in November!!!!

AND.......

In a few short weeks I will be launching my brand new website where we will have shopping carts and galleries and all sorts of good fun....

You MUST come back and check out my progress. This online store is the coolest ever.

So stick around...

Don't go too far...

See you soon!
