Pink Doll Project Update - Lookie at 'Love Squared'

Wow....Monica and everyone over at the Pink Doll Project HQ! She is breathtaking.

Come over and see all of the wonderful talent and generosity displayed here!

Thanks again Monica for making this collaborative project just come alive with creative healing, celebration and solidarity to kick cancer in the you know what. I am looking forward to the next project!

Received lots of 'Good Things'

I have lots of cute Martha inspired stuff....a much needed package after a LONG week. Raesha over at 'My Love', you are the best! You made me some wonderful stuff...the little strawberries are soooooo CUTE and the bag I love too...heck I love it all! The added goodie box that you purchased just topped the whole package - thanks so much :-)

Join Me and be Pink

I just stumbled across a blog called "Girl Gone Thread Wild" and I noticed a neat project that is to help raise money to go to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure fight for breast cancer.

I decided to be a "member" of the Pink Artist Community.....you too can join in the artful cause - just hop, skip and jump on over for details.... leave a comment in the participation post and create a 2"x2" collage square...but make sure to mail it to Monica by March 1st. Each square received will be added on to an artful doll, quilt and a journal. The project will be showcased in an upcoming article in Stampington's Art Doll Quarterly.

Hope that you can participate...join me and be pink!

**Here are the squares that I created for this great project!

Happy 2008!

Happy New Year to one and all! I apologize to those who are reading this blog as I feel like that I am falling a tad behind and am not able to post new stuff on here as much as I would like....to much going on. I am planning on doing artwork posts, etc by the end of this month. Thanks for your patience and your reading "patronage". More to come, I promise :-)

Image complements of Kat Tarra - thanks!

Waiting with Heart

Well, today is the 1st Sunday in Advent and the official countdown till Christmas in the McIntire house. The tree has been up since the week before Thanksgiving (since we were out of town the weekend of the holiday).

This red heart ornament was part of my late grandmother's collection...so simple but yet an important addition to my tree.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope that everyone has a happy, health, joyous and safe Thanksgiving!

Hubby and I are planning on going to my aunt's house not too far from Reynoldsburg, Ohio. I am from one of those American, small farming towns and I am so blessed and thankful to be from the country tho I now live in the city.

As you comment, please mention 5 things that you are thankful for. Here are some of mine:

1. My husband and cat "daughter"/My family

2. That I can create art for others

3. My health

4. That I am working at a job

5. Freedom to practice my faith

**After the holiday, I hope to get some of my art up that I am doing.

Here's to turkey, family/friend fellowship, football and yummy leftovers - Enjoy

SF: Color Wheel

Color....Color Everywhere!

I love many colors, so sometimes it is so difficult to choose my favorites. I love it when I go paper shopping, especially the many colors of Bazzill cardstock....I just want all of the colors!

Here is a trivet that I like and the color combo is nice....one of my finds at one of the second hand stores in town.

I enjoy bargain shopping and discovering unique finds like this.

The many colors available on the color wheel offers endless creative possibilities....I LOVE that!
