I thought it would be fun to post all of the photos that were not selected for my segment of the new Where Women Create Book. There were a ton of fabulous photos that just didn't make it for what ever reason. The photo above is one of my favorites. Lots of photos so enjoy!
The other night after I tucked my kids in bed, I made a little time for myself and here is my latest project. I have a collection of wonderful can can images and I just love this one in particular. Isn't she fun? I normally don't make assemblages but I had an old box that was falling apart so I decided to use the lid as her stage and I made the curtains out of vintage ledger paper. I think I may make more of these....I had fun making it.
Sorry I have been so distant I have been processing some potential life changing decisions over the past couple of months. My employer wanted me to relocate to another state a lot earlier than I anticipated. So, you can image when I came home and told my husband we had a lot of decisions to make. My husband and I really like it in AR and I don't think we are ready to leave yet. After much deliberation, I have decided to leave my current employer and find another job in NW, AR. So, needless to say I have been interviewing all around town (not a fun process) and I am happy to report that I was offered three jobs. I felt very popular, let me tell you. I have decided on what path I am going to go down and I feel so much better. Over the past couple of months, I have had to deal with so much...I have felt like Pig Pen from Charlie Brown, a cloud swirling over my head. It is not a fun feeling but now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I can start to feel so much weight off of my chest. It is really hard to be a working mother, a loving wife, a good mother and be my own person. Ok..enough about all of this, I am not trying to feel sorry for myself but sometimes you just need to stop and think what is really important in life and go with what you gut tells you.
All right...I have been holding on to a few things I picked up at the flea market a couple of months ago to show you. Don't you just love old button cards? I sure do and if they are .50-$1.00 I always pick them up especially with fun images on them.
I just love this pansie paper frame, I think it is lovely and I plan on making a collage out of it. Well there you have it....you are all caught up with what is going on in my life. Oh, one more thing, I did sign up for Silver Bella in Nov. and I look forward to seeing you all again in person.
I am still really into creating jewelryand I am having a good time with it. In the beginning, I didn't think it was very relaxing but now that I have the swing of it, I can honestly say it is! I think the piece above is my favorite creation so far.
How wonderful to be included in this wonderful magazine.
I love your little nook...just goes to show that creativity only needs imagination!!
