Project...

A few weeks ago, while junkin' in AltaVista, I purchased 2 glass candlesticks and 2 glass divided dishes. I used Liquid Nails (clear) to glue the dishes to the candlesticks. $3.74 and some glue and I now have 2 lovely pieces on my work table.  Not a very good photo, my apologies. Enjoy!

Beach memories...

Back from the beach, a fabulous vacation. Just a few photos to share, many, many more to be edited. Hope you are making wonderful summer memories of your own. Enjoy!

Vacation time...

We are off in a few days for the Outer Banks, North Carolina. Hope you are having a fabulous summer. Enjoy!

Hearts happen...

Candy striped zinnias, love the 2 solid petals that look like a heart.
Enjoy!

Raindrops...

Fascinated by the way water beads on nasturtium leaves. My photography skills are not what they used to be due to my vision issues. I point, click and hope to get lucky. Enjoy!

Bright...

More journal page backgrounds, lots of bright colors...

Enjoy!

Productive...

It's been a great week and quite productive.

I celebrated my 53rd birthday on Tuesday, a pretty normal day because I celebrate each and every day. After all I went through last Summer, I know that every day is a gift. Lots of extra love and wishes received. I am so very blessed.

My rose is in full bloom, a gift I received on my last birthday. So pretty.

Polymer clay and bead pendants I've been working on.

A couple of close ups.

Another project complete...Farmhouse, 12 x 12 mixed media box. The photo was taken in 1944, the farmhouse my father lived in as a boy. I The rusted elements are pieces I found several weeks ago at a local, abandoned homesite.

A fabulous week!

Enjoy!
