<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi Ho All of You</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So my hubs is in hospital and after a </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">frenzied week of details taken care of</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">extra chores to figure out, and a general</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">'what the heck'....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">now it is a 3 day Holiday weekend here </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Canada Day Weekend with the holiday</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">on Monday.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Had all of my ducks in a row by Friday,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with the full intention of doing something,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">anything creative for myself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Seems my mojo has been on a slow burn</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">all week, but what better way to get some</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">quality creative time....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I dragged out my big rolling </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">rubbermaid cart full of my </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">liquid acrylic paints from my </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">decorative arts days and grabbed a gel plate</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and Walla!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Didn't have the patience or time to drag out</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">my huge collection of stencils and mark makers,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that would have taxed my brain a little too much currently...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just wanted to make a pile of colour and designs to </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">start a little project with my collection of Mole Skin books...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So once I had all the papers printed on the gel plate</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">off I went on cutting and pasting pieces into a brand</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">new blank mini-mole skin book....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My idea is to just take bits and bobs of pages,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">even the pages I rolled my brayer out on just</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to created backgrounds in the entire moleskin</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">so as the mood, time and inclination hits me</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I can just grab and do some collage, pen work</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for a few minutes or for an afternoon....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This part of just pasting them in the book is</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">creative enough for my brain currently,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">picking and choosing which 'pages' might go</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">well together for backgrounds....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">sparking off in my brain on what to do</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">on the pages....</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">having the blank mini-moleskin in the ready,</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I can now spent the rest of the holiday weekend</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">pasting away to give the brain some much needed</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">All I did was blink at Christmas and already</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">it is half the year gone!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'd like to say it is because I've been busy with lots of creative time, but alas, not the case this year as it seems...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but there has been bits and pieces of some creative time...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">now almost 10 months old, </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So be it Barkley, so he's been insisting that I get</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">back into my digital graphics and have a play</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with some of his photos. This one digitally</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">altered, ( although I am sure his little soul looks like this),</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've printed this out on some cotton fabric with full</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">intention of quilting and turning it into something...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">pillow, journal cover, who knows yet.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At the moment I just enjoy looking at it, and getting </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">ideas on how to embellish...hope I don't ruin it!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">rapidly passing year for some more regular and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">deliberate art time, with a stored list of ideas</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">...and I still manage to grab a Artist Trading Coin blank</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and have a bit of art time with them on occasion...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I always keep some blanks available, along with pages</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of graphics and bits and bobs for that moment you</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">sit down and have no idea what to get started on...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So I guess I should be pleased to say that there is still</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">some creative time I've been having, just not as</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">regular as I would like...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Funny how that happens, you just blink, and you</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">realize you've lost 3 months.....grin....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I always look forward to Wintertime, with big expectations of lots of creative time and a list of projects that I sometimes spend months planning and thinking about.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then when it arrives, I end up these days, more like a bear in</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Winter, wanting to hibernate.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I keep in practice, at least every couple of days</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with my Artist Trading Coins.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I find when you keep your hands and head busy</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I loved the Artist Trading Coin 'Spring Fever'</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'd made using paper flowers from</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Retro Cafe Art, that I didn't want to just stick</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">it away in my ATCoin book, so I had a play around</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with one of the Artist Trading Block kits and </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">channeled a bit of wishful thinking</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for a change of season soon.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">( Still snowing, raining and general Winter at my home).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Something of which, I am sure </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sir Barkley McMuffin Butt</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">will enjoy plotting about reaching up the walls</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to get to all the pretties hanging up there.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As you can see, Barkley's growing like a weed, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and each month as he's sprouting, I'm still playing around</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with the artsy apps and digitally changing up his photos.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6 months old, almost 8 pounds, and 28 1/2 inches from</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">back feet to nose in a stretch. His 1/2 Maine Coon is</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">regally showing up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And although he manages to monopolize most of my time</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">being a kitten mum of a moose kitten, it doesn't change</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that we still miss our dear Oliver Howard any less.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I was motivated a few weeks ago, to give tribute to my boy,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">after seeing a series of Victorian Sweetheart Eyes, as </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">traditional gift of a loved one's eye to give remembrance.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I did my version with a metal frame from Retro Cafe Art,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and chose a photo of Oliver Howard's gaze, which wasn't easy,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">as going through the photos to pick just the right one.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sealed with Glossy Accents and placed on a clear</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oliver Howard is there on the mantel in the art room</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">at a glance when I think of him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you're missing a pet that has passed, I encourage you</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to try this for yourself, it does give a strange peace to the heart to see it daily as a reminder of how special they are.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And as I said before, still making my </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">with apologies. Life sometimes can knock your</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">stuffing out of you. After the loss of dear dog,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">found my mojo had all but disappeared, but recently</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">joined a group of Facebook that are into making</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Artist Trading Coins.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now I seem to be totally obsessed with making them...grin.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's the same principal as Artist Trading Cards.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The only rule, is that it be a 2.5" circumference circle </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">instead of the 2.5x3.5" Trading Card.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Been some time since I posted.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought I would share with you all after</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">all these years of my blog always </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">including my dear little muse, my pal, my clown, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">my baby dog, Oliver Howard</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With great sadness...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our dear Oliver Howard gave a brilliant effort to live</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">as long as he possibly </span><span style="font-size: large;">could. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Diagnosed with kidney failure back in February, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">he with our support and efforts,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">made it to July 19th, 2018, just a couple of</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">months short of his 17th birthday.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We're so upset and heartbroken, but know that</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">he had a long, and fabulous life.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He's been such a joy to know, and love.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And with gratitude, I thank all of his</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Internet Aunties on Facebook </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and here on the blog, loving him</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and enjoying him for so many years.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hello Summer</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">although a little late....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I guess 2018 is a year of a shift in focus.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I've mentioned before, it was a conscious </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">decision to give much of my free time this year</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to our dear old boy Oliver Howard.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Being his 16th year, and starting it off with</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a major health issue, my arts and crafts have</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">taken a back seat to the boy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pleased to say, he's still with us, and managing</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with a bit of intervention, and fingers crossed</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for the goal of getting him to 17 years of age in</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">September. Then onto setting another goal if</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">he'd like to keep on keeping on.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But that doesn't mean there is no arts or crafts at all...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Managed a bit of art play occasionally.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So that's what I've been up to so far this Summer,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">bits and bobs in between a busy life this year,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">as I am sure it is for you too!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As always, hope my post gives you some inspiration,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and even some permission to try to find the time</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to give yourself a bit of creative outlet and let</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">your mojo fly.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">First off, Hi All!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sorry for not being around for so long...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Life has a habit of getting in the way</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of my creative time and it seems</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">this year is no different.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I did mention last last year, that I was</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">intending on spending more time for</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the New Year with our dear boy,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oliver Howard</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He's turning 17 years old in September,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and is currently aging fast, with some</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">medical issues that have appeared </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">out of nowhere, so he has become</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">our priority these days.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But I have managed to still grab some</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">art time in between dog feedings, cuddles and naps ...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">....and when I can get my glasses back from him...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Christmas came and went, and with all that</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">has been going on, I found little time to get</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to play with my new toys....</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So quick projects are all I've been managing, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">here was one, the new </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sizzix Eileen Hull Die Cut for making </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Travel Journals,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">not that I get to travel anymore, but they can </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">be used for many other purposes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had great fun for a few, making one, and mounting</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a 3D Collage Doll I made with Itkupilli Graphics.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Also I've been continuing making my collection </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of ATC Blocks for a wall display I have planned...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I really enjoy making ATC's when I can grab the time,</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">(usually very early A.M. Art Time and Coffee)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey All, Just a quickie post as my </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mojo seems to be flying wild this week!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Been spending a lovely few days with the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">weather change to 'brr' setting....grin.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lots of cut and paste work instead of digital</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">pages for a bit....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Came across some old photo's from the blog</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">on Facebook of a series of Tryptic 2x2's we all</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">used to do for swapping and it gave me an idea....</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Using graphics from Tumble Fish Studio (Retired), and some Itkupilli from Mischief Circus, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made up this little Halloween inspired Tryptic ....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been on a binge of saving cardboard from recycling</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">lately. Cereal boxes, and such, and have been making my</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">own 'blanks' of Inchie's, 2x2's, 1x3's, and ATC and Post Cards.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So looking at the little Tryptic Witch then, I was trying to</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">think of some way of incorporating it into another projects...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I incorporated the Tryptic's onto a 4x6 Post Card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Made it a little more interesting and another way</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of using up all that cardboard....HA!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lots of other projects on the go as well, tons of ATC's.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm a member of Teesha Moore's 'The Astronauts Club'</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and she has a ton of wonderful graphics to have a play with.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So between my love for Crowabout StudioB, and Tumble Fish Studio, (Retired), and Itkupilli at Mischief Circus, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">now I've incorporated some of Teesha's wonderful graphics</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">into some of my ATC making this week....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey All</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With all that is going on in the media this past</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">couple of weeks, it's hard to parlay any joy or fun</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">in life currently, as I am sure it is effecting many</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of you too.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But today I just had to find some art time for myself,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and have had a day of it, with the t.v. turned off,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(watched early a.m. and decided not to watch any further),</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">so I thought I'd share some of what I accomplished </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">today to maybe inspire you to find some time </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">just for you too :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">at the previous post!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've taken one of those lovely carrying bags from</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Michaels Craft Supply and tried to use it in as</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">many things I can think of to make....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Being the previous project was my first try at this,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was pretty stinking pleased with myself....grin...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and I have received a few questions about the strap,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">as I cheated not using the straps from the bag, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">( they'll get incorporated in some other project I am sure),</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but what I used, was a 7Gypsies 'Book Bra'.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Seems they are no longer making these fabulous things</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and luckily I had bought a dozen of them when they were</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">being closed out....wish they'd make them again.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Being one not wanting to waste any of the other side</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of the bag used for the previous project, I decided to </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">attempt to make one of those Midori type books that </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">you see everywhere....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Being that I have multitudes of art and craft supplies</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey All, Me here, and it's been so busy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Spent much of the Summer Season with </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">household projects rather put my mojo</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">on hold. We did manage to get some major</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">projects competed, both back porch and front</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">deck rebuilt, plumbing issues taken care of,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and the usual touch up painting and re-staining</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of cedar shakes and we're still up to our necks</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">in window washing and gutter cleaning the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">next month preparing for the change of the Seasons.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So once I found some mojo and me time,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">it seemed I couldn't figure out what to do first...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So grabbed this lovely little cup and saucer a dear</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">friend sent me years ago, and made a quick pincushion.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well one thing leads to another, dragging out an old sewing</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I came across a wonderful older workshop on the internet at</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well that just sent me off on a whole new adventure....</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First I had to make </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Signatures for my </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sewn Book Project</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and even though the workshop was for 'found' ephemera,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I switched it up to use tons of my scrapbooking supplies</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and papers, and incorporating by sewing in some of </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">my printed digital graphics, handmade tags, and other</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">assorted goodies I've made and collected over the years.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's taken weeks of pulling together all the bits and bobs</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of inspiration, and figuring out how to sew it all together.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I certainly don't profess to be a seamstress,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">as I tend to not do things as perfectly as many</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">in the sewing field do, but this was right up</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">my alley, as I could just sew away on the old</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Veering off from the Workshop....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've had this really colourful and pretty tote bag</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">from Michaels hanging around my art room for</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the past few years, so I thought I'd try cutting it up</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and using it to make the cover.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I still have to hand sew the signatures into it,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So as I said, still have to hand sew in the signatures,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and may even make another set to tuck in as it seems</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">another set of pages just might fit...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Being it was a large tote bag, it seems I have the other</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">side of it for another project....hmm......wheels turning already for the next project.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Isn't that how it always happens!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">( Where the heck did the years go!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We were overjoyed at the pouring of love and affection</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I think may of you can relate to a night </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of insomnia unfortunately, but in my little world,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that means uninterrupted art time....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And now that it's nearly dawn, I'm finding I'm in</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">a rush as the day is about to begin....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So you'll have to forgive me for not putting</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">my usual commentary with each photo,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">as I'm just trying to post any sort of inspiration</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">since it's Friday and hoping You All get some</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">art time this weekend....without a night of insomnia! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Connie was with us a very short life,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">born with a weak heart, and came to us</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">just after my Mum's passing. Connie was</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">just 12 weeks old when she arrived and </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">was a total delight.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">During the few years that Connie was with us,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">she inspired so much of my creative arts and crafts...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and seemingly became part of many projects.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(Graphics used in this Digital Page were from the Fabulous</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tumble Fish Studio)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, long story short.....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a few years since Connie left us and this world,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but I had one last project in mind as I had kept one</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">last shoulder feather of hers, for years now, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">one of the most beautiful</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">as she only had two red feathers, one on each shoulder, and rarely ever dropped either.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, I don't proclaim to be a jewelry maker.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Occasionally I make something, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">( other than the wood bracelets I love to make and share), </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that is strictly personal, for me to occasionally wear, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but rarely to share, as I said, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't think I'm all that clever with jewelry making.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But I was pleased with this today.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">'Flying Broken'</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm sorry to say, that I don't remember the company </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that I purchased the case from, but today I was finally</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">inspired to make something with it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found a butterfly wing today, and it triggered the </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">big search through the art room to find the casing</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I just knew I had somewhere....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once found, using Dylusions Inks and card stock,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">made the background piece.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Double sided as the case is.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Using Lazier Cut-Outs of a myriad of words</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">from </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.retrocafeart.com/" target="_blank">Retro Cafe Art</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and a Vintage rosary also from Retro Cafe Art Gallery</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I finally made something of tribute to our </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dear Connie's </span><span style="font-size: large;">last feather. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She made so much of her very short life,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">even though she was flying broken </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and she's with us forever for it.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello Everyone!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Many, many global changes with running</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">an old version of Blogger, with many</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">new regulations.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought for sure, I'd posted a couple</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of posts since the beginning of the New Year,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but for some reason, they seem to be missing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm receiving messages about things like </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">cookies, and such, ( and not the sweet eatable kind),</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and I'm not aware of any cookies on my blog,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but there might be with any of the links attached.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Not being so technically inclined, although I thought</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was really clever keeping 'old' blogger going :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Not much new to report, other than some dabbling</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">in the arts...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pleased to say that Ms. Marsha</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hey All</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thought I'd better at least </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">check in with you all so you'll know I am still around,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and yes, still floundering for the Summer months.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But as the Summer is coming to a close,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm pleased to say I've still managed to get a bit</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of art time in once in a while, so just a quickie</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">blog post to catch up.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">First off, Better late than never,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm referring to the Fabulous Workshop </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I took </span><span style="font-size: large;">a couple of years back with </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Her Wood Doll Workshop was great fun,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and I'd bought three of her great wood doll blanks,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and had completed two of them, but the third</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">ended up on a back burner as life tends to get in the way.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So pleased to say I finally finished the third wood doll.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I've been spending the Summer doing some </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">clean up and reorganizing the Art Room,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and came across a ton of printed up Graphics</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">from a myriad of Companies over the years</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that I've collected yet not really played with.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I've been cutting out tons of graphics of</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">an evening while watching t.v. and now have</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a go-to box of graphics, as I've also</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">made a routine of early morning </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Coffee and Tag Art Making.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and I hate to say, some I've never even used yet!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Character Construction Stamps have</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">been sitting and waiting for me to notice them in </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">my collection, so lately Coffee and Tag making</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And even experimented with a idea I saw</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">on Facebook of using discarded recycled plastics</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to create Shrink Plastics.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A few 'life' things going on this year,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">so the ebb and flow of arts seem to</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">be consistently interrupted. But it hasn't</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">halted thanks to a handful of mediums</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">still to keep my mojo in practice.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Digital Arts being the first, not particularly</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">as a preference, but unique on it's own, for me,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">quick and easy, turn on the computer and with</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a cup of coffee in hand, a 1/2 hour of some</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">graphic fun when life keeps knocking you on</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">having a purpose to many of the arts and spending</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's our Oliver Howard's 15th Year coming</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">up in September, and although he's doing</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">really well in the health department in general,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I felt this year, he needed more of my attention.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He's been a brilliant companion, fur baby, ok, my son,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">GRIN</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">sharing me over the years with our other pets who've </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">come and gone from our lives, and my arts and all </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the life bug-a-boo's that have taken my attention</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">at time away from him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Their time is far too short with us.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And then there's the other individual</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the guy I live with, that one that hangs around,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the holder of my moderate esteem, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">It is our 28th Year of being married this year,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and unfortunately the 'Buddha' has been having</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">some health issues, but with my usual tongue in cheek,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">( something he's quite used too after all these years),</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've managed to ruin his reputation by nicknaming</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">him the 'Buddha' thanks to the medications he's</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">having to put up with during this episode of ill health.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He has a new appreciation for women and water weight</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">months earlier this year, I'm pleased to </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ever notice, you can have the grandest of plans,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and be full of inspiration, during a window</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of opportunity like a quiet month like February,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and you still run out of time! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I'll be referring to this February as my</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ping Pong Month of Creativeness.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I started out this month, sitting at my art desk,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">perplexed in what to get on with...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next thing I knew, I was grabbing from my scrap pile</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of papers, and making bookmarks.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Nothing gets your mojo working more, than just</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">sitting and playing with paper, glue in my book.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It took me on a little adventure including a new </span><span style="font-size: large;">holder, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">putting together a</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">to store them all in...at least now I'll know</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">where there's a bookmark in my home...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Once I'd finished that, I'd already come up with</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">some more creative ideas....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Still playing with paper and glue, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and some watercolour paints and pens, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but also adding</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After this point, I switched gears, motivated</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">by playing with the watercolour paints,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">...after a bit of doodling, painting and pen work,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">After all this creative Mojo flowing,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I even got motivated to finish up a project that I</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">actually started late last year....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had purchased a vintage huge frame with dome,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that had housed a wedding bouquet from about</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1950...</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once I'd enlisted the 'hubs' assistance removing the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">smelly, dead, long done flower bouquet, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I refinished the</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">huge frame ( over 36 inches tall).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I lightly sanded the mahogany,</span><span style="font-size: large;">stained finish, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">then gessoed,using </span><span style="font-size: large;">two coats of gesso to give</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the piece some 'tooth'.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then using </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had a blast creating this finish.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sealed the piece and washed the 'dome' glass...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">all in preparation for this wonder piece of art...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had purchased this fabulous piece </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I really fell in love with this piece Sarah made,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and didn't realize at the time of it's arrival</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of how I would display....</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">'Miss Mouth Bird's' head, so using a black</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">twist tie, I poked holes through the canvas</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and mounting board, and twist tied the</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">And Poof!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After a bit of fussing, as 'Miss Mouthy Bird'</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">was a bit big to fit into the dome, but managed</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to finally get her into place and sealed up!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now the hard part....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">..figuring out where to hang her! LOL!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She's definitely going in my art room,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but must find enough wall space to really</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">show her off!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'll post a pic later on when I get it figured out</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">where in the art room she'll be placed.</span></div>
