Shine....baby...Shine!!!

"This Light" New art page!!

I am back and feeling great!!

I have spent much of the early afternoon scanning in old foreign money and old birthday and Christmas cards that I received as a young girl!! I will have them up on Flickr shortly after finishing this post!!! There are quite a few!!

Also, I did a bit of catching up with the Collage Play with Crowabout group! How long was I gone!!  LOL

Again...If there is anyone interested in joining the group just let me know....Those who have already requested an invite and have not received it yet ..please put a little word in my ear so I may resend!!! I cannot believe we are already over 100 members strong!!! Everyone seems to be having a great time and I am having a blast viewing all the beautiful art!!

Does anyone know of someone that buys vintage comic books?? I am looking to sell! hee hee I spent last night looking up their worth...what a job lol I have a ton of Archie comic books, and also The Phantom and The Twilight Zone and one Girls' Love stories!!!

Another art page "Just As It Should Be" I am going to figure out a way to bind this piece and one other that I have uploaded to flickr into a journal...that is when I feel I have enough pages to bind!! Ooooooooooo jinkies!!! I just had an idea!!! Oh heck no I am not telling just yet!! Hmmm maybe....ok I will tell....How about a book of my pages?!!! Kind of a magazine with a matte finish type book?!! Hmmmmm Hmmmmmmm Now the wheels in my brain are a turnin! lol I am liking this idea! What you think??? 

I got to run LOL I got some things to check out on this idea! Much love and hugs! Bye for now!! ****runs off giggling madly****

This piece was created using a number of great images from Flickr peeps!! Wackystuff and Annieoakley a great big Thank You for all the great and wonderful images that you share!!! ...and also from a great package I received from Nicole which I will show tomorrow evening!! Of course the beautiful envelope she sent got some images snipped out that I used in my art but none the less I will show the wonderful things she sent to me! Thank you Nicole!!! Also used some images I had on hand!!! That gal is giving that bad ol wolf a good one two punch in the jaw!! You know the one that bad wolf that comes a knockin at your door...in short bill collectors! LOL I had a lot of fun with this page! hee hee

Speaking of tomorrow and weekdays after I will be a bit elusive until evenings so please be patient with any email repsonses!! I WILL get to you ASAP!! Thank you!!! :O)

Week 1 of the "Collage Play with Crowabout" Group was a success and was so much fun!! I loved seeing all the different versions of art created by the lovely members of the group! Fantastic!! And we had our first weeks prize drawing and our winner was... Gunn-Mandal !!! Our winner was chosen with Random.org!! Congrats Gunn!!! :O)

I am still uploading previous Art Pages I have been working on since before the group started...and this week I will get to play along with the group! YAY!! I can't wait to get started on my version!!

The group list is getting longer and longer each day...and I need to figure out another way to display all the members links!! Any ideas????

Again here is the group news from the previous post:

In the group news!! I have changed the day I will be uploading the "Collage Elements" sheet to Saturday mornings! I believe this may work out better for those members who may have a busy work week schedule and only have time to create on the weekends!! This will give everyone a bit more time to work on their art entries for the week and give them a little more time to have their art turned in by Friday!!

Again!! If you have not received  your invite to the group, "Collage Play with Crowabout" or are wanting to join...PLEASE don't hesitate to shoot me an email!!! There is always time to join!!! And I do apologize to those whose invites that may have got lost in email nothingness!! Don't be shy..please email me and let me know!!!! Here is the group INFO if you are interested in joining up!! Please note the changes....the group are now hosted on Flickr !!!

Have you been to ETSY lately??!! Well, if you haven't...I have listed more of my latest art pieces!!! All my art pieces are totally original and one of a kind!! There will never be another one created like it!!! :O)

Thank you for visiting! Much love and hugs!!
