For My Mother

This is the card I made for my mother. She has Alzheimers so every Mother's Day is bittersweet. I tried to coordinate it with the flowers we're taking her. Tomorrow will be a busy day. We are all meeting at my aunt's house about an hour and a half from here. My step-dad and mom are coming down from the Indianapolis area. Both of my boys will be coming over, as will my youngest son's girlfriend. My cousins and all of their children will all be there. My mom's third sister also has Alzheimers and she will be there too. Her daughter lives here in Lexington and she and all of her kids will be coming over as well. The aunt who is hosting the event is the only one of the three sisters who has all of her wits about her. But, it should be fun. I figure if my youngest's girlfriend can handle this rowdy bunch then she's a keeper! We love her and are so happy she can be with us. She and my son will be working at a camp for inner-city children again this summer. They are on duty 24-7 and they both just love it. Well, blessings to all and keep looking up as the day soon approaches.

trying a picture

I finished my c.d. holders. I made 20 of these and gave the majority of them to the ladies in my prayer group. I scanned a few of them and thought I'd try to post them. If this works, I'll add the credits later. Well, it sort of worked. I need to work on putting scanned items with the actual post. Mine are at the bottom of the page.

Changing My Mind

Well, my second post and I've changed the title of my blog. I really didn't like my original idea and just went with it to get started. No picture postings yet. I had the flu all last week and mostly slept away the hours. I am currently working on a large batch of collaged c.d. holders. They are turning out very nicely. I tend to be very self-critical so the fact that I like these says a lot about them! I'm going to work on scanning some of them in and trying to post them. Have a great day and keep looking up! Deb

Getting started

This is something I've had in mind to do for a long time. After a few false starts, I think I can do this. I've been inspired by all of the wonderful blogs I frequent and a blogging friend has encouraged me to "post my work." Not wanting to seem puffed up or too proud, I've been very hesitant to put my work out there for others to view. But, I think it will be a way for me to grow my creativity. So, here goes!....
