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!!!

Friends

To a very special lady, Tommie who is retiring in August.  I will always remember her as the lady who brought in buckets of flowers, all kinds. She even gave butterflies  to us, to put up at our desk.  You can look out across the office & see butterflies everywhere.  She is truly a remarkable women who will be missed. Thank you God for blessing our lives with her.  Have a blessed life Tommie,  we will miss you & those beautiful flowers.

Wings of Love

There's something peaceful about birds, I love waking up & hearing them sing in the morning. This is another page from my Art Journal Book, I used college images, with silk leaves, some metal leaves, stamps & even some stickers. I like the way it turn out I decided to make a necklace. The bird nest at the end is made of copper wire. It should patina real nice.
