a quick glimpse at a day..


.. it's almost 8:00 pm... i am supposed to be making dinner (scrambled eggs! -with cheese and veggies) but jim had to run to the store, so i'm sneaking a moment..

i've just come in from a short, but relaxing break on the back deck after a long day's work. the sunset is breathtaking! the squirrels are  scurrying about to settle in and the deer are making their evening trek down the path to wherever the go for the night. the birds are singing the evening songs. so sweet and beautiful. i wish i could sit there forever. but i have to scramble :) - literally and figuratively - because i will be back to work after dinner and a little puppy love.. well, okay.. two puppies :)

sorry no pics :(
with hugs, teri

You can use any of their papers in the challenge to win prizes! I know... not everyone is a scrapbooker (including me.. shhhh!) but I still use my papers and stickers on altered books, journals, cards.

THiS is TOO CooL!!

well, at least it is to me :)

i knew it was coming, but i had to restrain myself until i saw it for myself on the web. it's official!! you can now put my work on your walls as a mural!! it's almost frightening to think of my work being reproduced THaT Big!! Here's a direct link to my pages on  Murals Your Way


Mr Hilton? :) if you're reading, don't you think these would be fabulous in lobbies, mezzanines, spas, massage centers?? gosh.. it would be a dream come true... coming back from a lovely day by the beach at the Sheraton, Marriott, Westin..... headed for a soothing massage, in a room filled with relaxing aroma and rejuvenating art. OK... well maybe i really DO need to get a life :) but ya can't blame a girl for trying.. while i'm thinking hotels, my friends are thinking local spas, chiropractors... and hey, ladies... how about something lovely to look up at when you're having your annual exam at the doctor? even my physical therapist could use something on his ceiling for me to gaze at during traction :)  okay.. now i'm just rambling.... or giddy... there's more coming, so stay tuned! -and thanks for reading!!

California Classes

As promised, here are some pictures from my classes in CA. I had an absolute BLaST and I think the participants did, too. The class was "Color and Calligraphic Painting" It was a one day class in San Diego and 2 evenings in Orange County. I think we ALL could have enjoyed another day! But we did accomplish a fair amount of work


 Everyone was busy painting their color wheels and prepared papers

This was our Community supply table in San Diego

..and me, holding up one of my demo pieces
Then it was onto Orange County for more fun!



Painters in action!

We had a supply in OC, too! I basically supplied everything but the brushes!


And finally, just one of the many gorgeous pieces painted!
Thanks everybody!! I had the Best time playing and splashing paint with you!
