Counting Our Blessing's

I don't have anything pretty to show you tonight , I don't have the latest news on craft glue's or pictures of cute kittens and butterfly's. What I do have to share tonight is my blessings and how grateful I am for what I have and the people in my life.
Isn't that what it's really about ? The people in Moore , Oklahoma are thinking the same things right now  too I'm sure  and a whole lot more. Tonight before I close my eyes and drift off to sleep I'm going to ask God to watch over all the people back east right now . And I am going to pray that they get the help they need in time. I'm not going to ask for anything for myself  I am going to ask God to protect them all back there and that everyone in the USA reaches out to all those back east who don't have a place to lay their heads and help those who need help right now. In Jesus ,name I pray , Amen and God Bless to All !

Finally It's Done !


I promised to be back after I had finished my suitcase and here it is! It's really tricky trying to get good pictures but I'll get there. It really turned out so sweet! Thank You Tim Holts and Ranger products couldn't have done it with out you !

Mother's Day!

I worked 86 hours in two weeks so I finished my altered vintage suitcase finally! Then about the middle of last week I got the idea to set up a small display at work to see if I could sell a few of my jewelry pieces.
Well needless to say It was a huge success! Thank You to all my tenants who support my work ! You know who you are! It really makes me feel humbled as I an still getting use to the idea of calling myself a polymer clay mixed media artist.
When I think of artist I think of Donna Kato, who by the way is my reason for loving polymer clay today. And Karen  Klew Lewis , Lori Anderson, just to name a few. Because there are hundred's of artist out there I so admire.
But here is what I made this week because of my love of polymer clay.
Happy Mother's Day Mom I love and miss you, Happy Mother's Day to my dear mother-n-law you are loved and missed so much and to all the wonderful females in my life and to all o f the woman out there in blogger land may you all have a wonderful, relaxing day wither it is spent with your loved ones or holding yourself up in your studio and doing the things we love to do rejoice in all your crazy female antic's and be proud this is your day !

Altered Vintage Suitcase

I know it's been a little bit since I've blogged but life gets in the way and I had a couple of projects I was involved with but I had to show this little beauty! I picked it up in an antique shop where I live for $1.00 ! I am going to post the after picture of what I did to it tomorrow. I tried to post last night but Blogger was having a fit and I was unable to post , or save  NOTHING ! I was so aggravated that I gave up . So I am hoping this goes well today !  I will tell you that I used Tim Holts Vagabond with his Tattered Flowers Die and some hand-made resin pieces that were suppose to be earrings ! I turned them into charms.
My sweet hubby gave me the idea! How cool is that !? Ok! so look for the new pic's tomorrow I still have a lot to learn about taking pictures and this blogging stuff is still very new to me but I'll get there!
Have a great week-end and make something !!

Well about 2 months ago I mentioned a vintage suitcase I had found at our local antique store . This is the before and I am going to post the after tomorrow. I completely altered this suitcase and I think it's way cool !
I was planning on using it to display my jewelry when I attended 1st Friday's and it turned out better then I expected! I can't wait to show you the after pictures. I used my Vagabond, by Tim Holtz and used his Tattered Flowers Die ,that's all I am going to say about that ,you're going to have to wait until tomorrow!

I know it's been a little bit since I've posted and I have really wanted to but life got in the way! I really need to make a stronger commitment to creating every day, but alas, I have a full time job and the house has to get clean right??

Anyways, I am really going to buckle down and fly right! Besides, I still have so much more to learn about blogging ! It's really so much fun !!
