Journaling

Hi Everyone~

I just created these journals and I wanted to share them with you. The image in the above journal is from Dezinaworld~You'll want to visit if you have graphic shopping to do!

This journal was made for a friend of mine and it was created with a female graphic from The Graphics Fairy. There are more in my Etsy shop.

If you can, please help!

On Saturday, I received word that Jan at Polka Dot Barn needed for people to make tags that she will be taking on a road trip to visit a battered women's shelter...If you would like to help and create some tags, please visit Jan. I made 7 tags in all. These are just one of the collections I created because I love the color combo of pale aqua and brown.

I still have a BLOG CANDY giveaway going on! If you would like to enter the drawing, just leave a comment on the next post down.

But, there's more! If you have a chance, please visit my magazine blog at:

Whimsical Musings Magazine~I know you will be surprised to see who is featured!!!

Mothering Instincts Week Ends with a Giveaway!

Hi Everyone~

"Mothering Instincts" Week gave me the perfect opportunity to have a big giveaway! The winner will be announced the Saturday night before Mother's Day. If you'd like to post a blog button on your sidebar, that would be awesome!

There will be one winner. To enter the drawing, just become a follower and leave a comment on this post.

There are so many goodies, it's impossible to list them all and I couldn't get them all into the photo! But, in addition to brand-new store-bought items, I also made flowers, tags, and embellishments for your art.

I also wanted to show you some of my creations that are in my Etsy store...No, they are not part of the give-away, but I thought you'd have fun seeing them!

Pink Saturday, Special Surprises, and a Giveaway!

In December, a friend of mine up north went in search of some vintage finds for me to use in my work I was making for the art galleries. But, now that those art pieces were completed, I was able to use some to make decorator tags for friends of mine and I wanted to share them with you. When I saw this picture of Roselle and her husband on her blog, I knew I wanted to make her something memorable.

So, I made this tag with the word "cherish." This engraved vintage cross was included in those special finds I was telling you about and it had to have a wonderful place to be. So, it is landing in Roselle’s special home. And yes, I know this tag isn’t pink, but when I saw her taupe walls in her living room, I wanted it to match. If you ever need to go in search of “pure pink heaven,” just go to Roselle’s blog at Seaside Rose Creations!

Here is a close-up.

The next tag is for Suzann...I knew it had to be pink! I was able to incorporate one of my favorite vintage pieces--this faux pearl surrounded by rhinestones. It includes coffee-stained cheese cloth, curly seam binding, a Martha Stewart flower, and of course, Suzann's initial.

When I saw this adorable picture of Jan on her blog, I couldn’t help but put it onto a tag for her to preserve her memories. And this vintage heart was just waiting to be included in a tag, so it finally got its chance!
