Vie Va Las Vegas

Ok, so I know it's been awhile since my last post. I did however manager to do one post/picture in my Journal Book for November. My Husband and I decided to spend Thanksgiving in Vegas. We had just gotten a time share and decided to get away. The time away was great and we had an amazing time doing lots of things. We went to the Secret Garden and saw the White Lions. Amazing creatures. We took in a show and saw Rita Rudner, which we laughed so much I think we practically crying, she was so funny. We also visited the Hoover Dam that was something to see. All in all it was just nice to spend time away with the one you love.

It's a Howl of a Night

Here is my Glamour Pumpkin Head Girl, as she sports her evening gown for a night out on the town. Done on an 11 x 14 canvas using acrylics, collage, stamps and did some embossing, gel inks, charcoal pencils which I love to use. And yes cotton balls to paint the back ground. I hope she has a fabulous night out.

Halloween Bracelet

This is a Bracelet I made for a party I had gone to.  It was one of those parties that you pick a number & then  open your gift.  The next person has a choice to pick your gift or choose a new gift to open. They're a lot of fun & it's amazing to see what people create.

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!
