Happy Mother's Day

Weekend!!!

Hi Everyone!

Hope You all have plans to 

Honour Your Mum's

this Weekend, and if

You are a Mum have a

Brilliant Time of it!!!

Not many of you know, that my little badge up top of the 

child in wings, is actually my Mum as a child.

Lost my mum December 2008 to Lymphoma but carry her

with me everyday and with my Venture 

Birdnuts Mixed Media

as without her it wouldn't have been possible :)

( Miss you Mum :)

So in Honour of my Mum

for Mother's Day :) 

tee hee

(She adored our Oliver Howard as we do:)

One of my Vintage Photo's from my 

Personal Collection

some Bits and Bob's

And another one Honouring Mother's

Using the Fabulous 

Tumblefish Studios Graphics!

Bubbie, who's pictures are part of my

End of Floundering

Giveaway!

Hello Everyone!

What can I say....

I'm done with floundering,

taxes are done, weather is

slightly perking up,

and after the past weeks

events in the U.S. I think

we could all use a pick me up.

I was so moved by all that

has been happening in the

United States 

just breaks my heart for 

those in Texas and the 

horrible episode in Boston.

When we're inundated with

such painful and terrible news

I tend to want to create even more

than usual as a stress relief.

Using the Fabulous 

Tumblefish Graphics 

at DeviantScrap.com

I made this 'Best of Wishes'

Digital Page and posted

for all of my American

Friends on Facebook.

We could all use some Good News.

Which leads me to a quick

decision and after starting

some long needed Spring Cleaning

in my Art Room I realized

that I am an 

Art and Craft Supply Junkie.

Yes, I admit it freely! GRIN

Realizing that I have a ton

of Brand New Product 

boxed away in my 

Arts and Crafts Cupboards in the

Art Room

I've pulled a selection of

7Gypsies and Graphics45

and of course some Fabulous

Mr. Tim's Tim Holtz Goodies

along with an assortment of

other Goodies

including a Brand New Pack of

Playing Cards

( I'll tell you about that in a moment!)

I estimate there is over

$100 Retail Brand New Goodies

I've pulled together here, 

so here's the skinny!

If you're a Follower either by

Google or Network Blogs

Birdnuts Mixed Media

Deadline for the

Giveaway
