Its been forever....

I havent been here in the longest time! I sort of fell off the band wagon when it comes to everything... thats got alot to do with all the stress and hecticness that has happened lately with ppl from my past trying to come back into my life.... looong and loaded stories there .lol. Things are calming down for me and I did start a new drawing the other day but due to a horrible fight with my washing machine and a giant disaster of a mess, it was destroyed in the battle. .sighs. Soooooooo I am going to start it over in the next few days, good thing it was just the skeletal outlining of the drawing.... and not an almost finished piece!!!!! I would have been devastated! I decided that I am going to keep Altered Whimsey opened as well as Graphite Goodies... Im going to sell my altered creations as well as paintings on Altered Whimsey and all of my fine art drawing at Graphite Goodies, that way its all easily seperated into their own categories. Since they are 2 very different art forms. Sooooooo in the coming days, I will share links to the sites and add some new and improved things as well. hmmmmm what else...... Tim and I are still planning to renew our vows, but the date changed to September 13th. Thats official now :) We have alot planned are doing well with it all, its not going to be an extravagant thing that bankrupts us.. buuut its still going to be something special for us. Especially since my sister and dave are leaving for California that weekend, so it will be nice to spend time with them and have a sort of going away party as well. :) Sooo thats just a few things that have been happening. I hope to add more photos, art, and etc. soon. OH! Before I forget... check out www.myspace.com/wherepoetrygetsreal .... Me and my best friend Ginger write poetry and we have alot of fun at writing them together as well as seperately, so we created a page just for sharing our poetry. We would love to share our poems with everyone and get feedback etc.


I would like to also say that I am sad to have discovered that an art friend Jacquie Rubenstein passed away from health complications. Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers. This was very sad news!

Just a random ATC...

I was bored today so I put together an ATC. I think Im going to enter it into a lucky dip swap in Absolutely_Everything_Swap_Central :) I made the background using metallic liquid watercolor and blue cardstock, attached to an ATC made from a recycled box. I attached 2 tags together using fibers and a heart shaped brad. I stamped Togetherness on the larger tag. I added a flourish w/ blue ink to the background and a cute dragonfly stamp (purchased at michaels but unsure of who made it, its one of those foam stamps) and then I took a really cute image of a young boy and girl from a black and white wedding invitation sample that I had lying here. I colored it in with colored pencils :) AND WHA-LA! Just thought I would share :) Have a great weekend!
