Where's My Voice

Racism, I ask the question WHY?  Why do we allow this in our lives yet alone in our hearts? I wish we could see the heart of people, not the color. We all are guilty of it, in some way or another.  People are people, with a heart, feelings, laughter and some with pain. Can we just value people for who they are? 

My First Journal Book

I'm so excited to finally finish my Journal Book. I've decided to call it Journey of the Heart. I wanted something that I could write in, to be honest and passionate with my true feelings. So I hope in bearing my soul & writing from the conviction's of my heart I learn to grow in my faith and my God.

Mermaid necklace

This is the original drawing to the picture below "Mermaid under the Sea".  I used this picture to create the painting below.  I took the Mermaid, cut her out & put her on the canvas that I had painted. 

Under the Sea

This Mermaid was done for a very special friend at work, Maria. She is now retired from work. Free, free to experience life and all it has to offer. To wake up in the morning and sip her coffee, to drink it slowly and really take time to taste it.  Boy, how I envy her. Funny this is the one time in my life I wish I was older. Best of luck my friend, I know we'll keep in touch. Lot's of Garden Tours to see and girls time out. love ya!

My Best Friend

This is a picture done from my Art Journal Book. It's done with part of our wedding invitation, and  part of a card given to us. I've used some acrylic paints, copper stamping & a few embellishments, & of course a picture of us & our wedding cake that I have touched up. It's going to be our 3rd year anniversary in August & could not be happier. Happy Anniversary Babe, I Love You!!!
