Here is my newest collage for Collage Obsession Challenge "Nightmare".  Hope you like it.  I loved the challenge too.  It was a lot of fun to make.

I came across this wonderful offer while visiting Plumrose Lane and signed myself up for it. I just had to share this because it is such a wonderful opportunity and Willowing is such a creative, inspiring artist and person.  If money were not so tight (fixed budget, since I quit working to stay home with family and take care of my health issues) I would definitely pay her for this wonderful class.

The topic of the class is just what the doctor ordered, so to speak.  All about healing!!  This is such a sad month for me as I lost my father to cancer this month, so what better way to deal with the hurt and loss than by taking an art class centered on healing *sigh*.  It's super easy to sign up for the class here is the link Art Class plus I have the button on my sidebar.  Also check out the YouTube link I've provided to learn more about this awesome class.  Video

I hope you take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. Thank you so much Tam!!

This is my first Pink Saturday and I wasn't sure exactly what to do.  I have been working on getting my studio organized and the way I would like.  I have loved this statue I have for many years but it has been in a buff/beige color, which to me is just a little to "blah"!  So I got some paint out and made it "Pink"!

Sorry I was a little late in getting this up.  I was having technical issues!!

Well in my own way I have attempted to make my blog background a little spooky for Halloween.  I hope that you enjoy it.  I got this wonderful free background from Elegia.  You can look at her backgrounds by clicking on the link http://eleques2.blogspot.com/ she does really lovely stuff.

Well as you can see I have been playing with my background yet again.  I've decided that this will always be a work in progress LOL.  I want to thank all the lovely, creative people out there that have allowed me and others to use their free backgrounds and those that offer tutorials.  I have learned so much lately and believe me when I say "I am no techie", so I am greatly appreciative for these people.  Three cheers to you!!  It's so much fun in blogland and I've met so many wonderful people along the way.  It has also inspired me creatively.  Since having to quit working over a year ago, I went through a real funk because of my medical issues and have been a real couch potato.  That was when I truly discovered blogging!  I'm sort of a shut in, so through blogging I feel like I'm still in touch with the outside world, along with getting my creative juices a flowin'.  I've been experimenting with altered art, collages, mixed media, of course my jewelry, and now photo manipulation.  I'm also going to start building a dollhouse (I'm hoping to give it to my niece as a Christmas present).  I think my furbabies are feeling a little neglected though because I'm no longer spending all my time on the couch or the bed giving in to my illnesses, so I'm not their personal pillow anymore.  They're adjusting now and not constantly following me back and forth as I go from room to room cleaning or off to my studio to create art.  Luckily I have a day bed in the studio with lots of cushy pillows and windows for them to look out.  Nothing funnier than seeing 3 kitties laying on the bed and a dog laying on the floor by the bed while I'm busying creating lovelies.  Soon the studio will be completely organized and set up the way I want it and then I won't have to be spending my time doing that, but spending time creating.  I can't wait!!  To all my lovely bloggers, happy bloggin!!!
