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!

Arti-Gras Mask-arade


This is the beginning stages of a Mardi Gras Mask I am making for a mingle in my AAWA art group. I am hosting the swap and am having a lot of fun with this. Once you get started you just want to keep on going! It gets addictive. I will post updates as I continue with it.

I've officially created my first piece of jewelry!!


Now this is my first attempt at beading/making jewelry and the only reason I decided to do it is because I wanted to duplicate a bracelet I bought. It is a team bracelet for our Waterloo Black Hawks hockey and I am giving it to a young gal who does alot of scrapbooking for me and our players. I will also make one for my daughter who is an avid BH fan. Not too shabby if I do say so myself!!
