A new blog......

I will be changing to my new blog.......featheredimpressions.blogspot.com........pretty dang soon.

I have been working on it for a while and finally it is up and running......just a bit different than this one....will still be full of scrappy happy things...thank you for that phrase Steffanie...XO....but along with that will be some other interesting things....re-purposing things....decorating......classes...and new discoveries...;o) Still the same in the scrap booking therapy I LOVE...LOL....just with a bit of "twist and spice" of other things added along to brighten up a day...enhance imaginations....make you think...maybe even give you that "ah ha" moment...:o) Let's hope!

There is so much talent in this world....so many women that hang their sentiments on their shoulders and venture out into the unknown depts of "blogland"....to let us all feel that we can experience OR have experienced....their joy, their sorrows or just getting through a day or a week....even a month when life offers us all challenges or offers us completeness.....change....and tests us some days as well.

Women are amazing creatures......and although I have met some outstanding men in my lifetime.....women bond differently than men in which we always lead with our hearts...no matter the situation at hand....our warmth in endless....and our strengths are beyond extrodinary.....:o)

So hang in there with me a bit more......come and join my other blog if you would like...and I will adhere warmth and thanks to you in whatever way I can......

Thanks for hosting doll.

Treasures found.....

Finally after 5 years of waiting to move back home....(can you hear me yahooo-ing?)...I am in pack mode big time. I have been packing and we have our storage unit full...but there are always those objects that give me the "creature comforts" of warmth and home that I have put off wrapping in paper and shoving tightly into a box.......but after this weekend...guess what?....it's time to do so.
I have so many great and memorable times remembered with my daughter scouting for the "perfect" thing to set aside a memory of a great outing or a favorite hunting trip for a certain item. Silly little things but those that make your heart warm and your smile a bit brighter.....when I remember the ah ha moments or that of my giggling little girl......

I love these plates...they adorn my hutch in my dining room...well most of them anyways....I do use them quite often and I don't think I have ever found another pattern that has given me much pleasure every time I use them or admirer them when walking by them sitting there on the hutch shelves. Ballad designs had them long ago and they were expensive....these are for TJMAXX are were not...:o) <-----big smile ....LOL

This pitcher is a favorite of mine. I remember purchasing this on Ebay so many, many years ago. When it arrived my daughter said..."Mama is that poison ivy?"......I remember we giggled and she said she learned about poison ivy from Seth in her kindergarten class....."he got some going camping and he got sick on his arm." (I'm not sure Seth even went camping...I think he had quite a few mesquito bites however...LOL)

This little honey holder "bee hive" is very old. I found it at an antique store in Twin Falls, Idaho. It's worn and tattered of time but is still one of those things that I treasure....I wonder who ever owned it to begin with....and who filled it with such sweetness....who opened it up and stuck their finger into it and ran out of the kitchen......who would have thought it would have ended up in our home...Although I am totally nuts over birds.....I love Bees...they adorn us with the color of flowers...without them...summer would not be so lush and full of beautiful blooms and fragrance.....

So there you have it this morning...before paper is wrapped around all and headed  off to storage....I had to have one last look.....one last touch.....one last perfect memory of the adventure and the Treasures found.......thanks for stopping by.....

As promised.............

I have had several ladies contact me about posting these three framed....lets see...what do I call these....pieces of "collage art".. that I did quite some time ago. I did these to hang on my wall of my studio...and now that I am packing up my house to move "home" this summer...(could you hear the enthusiasm in my voice?...LOL)...I decided it was now or never...so thank you all for "reminding me"...theres a nice word for it...LOL...and as promised here they are...:o)

I love dress forms....so this one was stamped and cut several times to form just the right "fashion statement."

    This funny little bird jumping for joy on the top he's spread his wings and almost looks to be smiling.

 This is my Hubby's favorite. Life is just a balancing act....so I placed hand cut chairs on top of one another and some of my favorite birds trying to clammer up to the top to reach that tiny cherry. The little bird down below is such a favorite of mine. He's letting everyone know he is not pleased with his placement........LOL

I designed these from G45 and BoBunny papers from last year. I loved the camera line that BoBunny put out....so that is mostly the back grounds for these pieces. I used scraps everywhere in them of all different papers and used lots of stamps with French script, distress dots....ect. including Character Construction and Technique Tuesday. Lots of swirls and alphabets and type as well. I love anything with birds on them....so I placed those little antique birds around the designs to keep the motion going. They were truly enjoyable to design and I have also made them into cards.....:o)
May your day be an enjoyable one for you....doing something you love and brings you such warmth......;o)
