About Me

My photo
Without making myself sound too boring, I will say I am married for 34 years and have one married daughter and 3 grandchildren. I work part-time doing independent contract work for retail stores and also work for the Catholic Schools Lunch Program. Enough to keep me in spending money! I belong to several online art groups, the biggest being AAWA. This group has expanded my horizons in mixed media artistry. I enjoy altering items such as cigar boxes, bottles and books to name a few. I like to do collage, iris folding, ATCs, 4x4s, inchies,and plain old card making. I have dabbled with clay, made domino jewelry and glass slide pieces. I don't mind trying new things, but I am a visual person and need to see an example or have hands on guidance. Maybe that's an age thing!

I went scrounging today....


at my local junk/antique store and found some old silver spoons. I'd like to try my hand at a spoon book that I saw in a recent Cloth/Paper/Scissors magazine. I also found some old lightswitch plate covers that I may alter. Then went to the dollar store and found some manilla folders for a cool project one of the gals in my AAWA online group showed us. However, my next project will probably be to make my wine cork wreath that I have been saving corks for. I have 173 corks and only need 27 more and then I will begin. Also went to a wine tasting last night and got to take home several bottles (empty!) with the coolest labels. It was a Rollicking Red Horse Play wine with the coolest horses heads on the labels. I just had to have them! Take a look...
