a workin' day & a blessin' day

I've been working long hours the past few days getting my new grab bag up in the store over at Scrapbookgraphics.com



Plus some collage sheets and stuff, but you can check that out over in the shop I won't use up more room on my personal blog ;). I do love to restore all those old pieces of vintage ephemera! Truly makes me happy!

Then today...out of the blue and when we needed it most a check just showed up in the mail. seriously a check we didnt' expect a refund on some insurance we paid on our house we didn't' need, so they just sent the premium back! what a blessing. it's these little miracles in life that I just treasure, a true confirmation of faith and choosing to be happy.

Hope you all have a small but precious miracle happen in your life today.

sunday studio.

i had so much fun in my studio tonight. made some atc cards for a swap at mystic paper. i've never participated in one and I'm quite giddy with excitement.

Here are the alice atc's i did.

 

and here is one of my first art journal pages.

to find the balance.

 

perhaps it's because there are not 24 days in 24 hours, or because the giant turtle this world spins within has decided to speed his pace to catch up with the hare. but there are simply not enough hours in the day to accomplish the thousand little things that seem so important yet flutter away in time like dandelion fluff in the wind. at the present i've become lost in the world of art journaling. a place where you look at magazines upside down to find litle hats and dresses for girls with butterflies as best friends. by chance i find the balance i shall be better about writing here more often and not leaving my poor blog loney in the deep of cyberspace to fend for it's tiny self.

Hope you have a wonderful Sunday.

I've been lost the last two days working hard on my Studio and spending time with my happy little family. I'll have pictures to share with you soon.

I hope you have a restful, inspiring Sunday.

I found this quote quite on accident and thought it was rather true!

I think I've blogged about this before and a whole lot more!

I was just recently talking to someone who had never heard of Pandora.com. I'm always so shocked, it's so much a part of my life I can't remember what it was like before :D! You gotta check it out if you never have before! It plays your favorite songs all day long although My dear hubby and I find it hysterical that jack johnson finds his way on to every single station (pretty darn close anyway!!). I guess that makes him an all around great artist?
Go Jack Go.

(ha ha I'm sitting here laughing because if I would have thought about it I would have posted about pandora just to have a picture of Jack on my blog but seriously the above statement came free flowing with no premeditation I swear!)

Today I picked up Samantha from school and we went and picked up some essentials for summer. you know... like paislee pixee stix (aka fabulous glitter in really cute tubes you can't help but get every color).


and some of my favorite magazines.
   

Then it was dinner with Nana at Pei Wei's!


And then.....we stopped by Paradise Bakery to get Molly some chippers! (She's had a hard day! I hope she blogs about it...Tim sort of had a biking accident and sort of broke his arm in three places and sort of tore the ligaments in the other. Good thing he had a helmet on! It cracked in 4 places!)

Thisnthatandsuches.

Today was a busy but a wonderful day indeed, product deadlines, watched the girls, went to Matta's, worked some more, went to Target for teacher gifts, worked some more, helped Samantha with a few things, played in the rain, got ready for my digital scrapbooking class I'm teaching at Blissful Living tomorrow.... you know a great day over all! Tomorrow is the last day of school (YAHOOO!)!

Some pages from this week.

Okay I just have to show you another one!

But first did you hear about this? Holy Moly! Me and Stacy the other day were talking about "what flavor" is Dr. Pepper, it really isn't a flavor you can explain! It's not cherry, it's not cola etc. Anyway! That is the best $200 bucks spent ever! lol!

Okay so back to the task at hand! Look at this Studio! Or all the pictures of her Studio from Flikr! I have been getting all kinds of fabulous ideas for my studio now to just get started on it! That is half the battle!

The Little Pink Studio

inspiration for life.

Today was another wonderful day, worked this morning and got a lot done, then I had a meeting with my mom for a few hours trying to convince her to give digital scrapbooking and altered art a go! Then it was some fun time with the family, Samantha and Dave went swimming. we had Merrill for a little while. then my sister, mom and I went to Hobby Lobby to look for things to make bags for girl's camp! found some fabulous urban princessy looking stuff!

And of all things, I found my artspiration for life.

Teesha Moore.

woWoEeeEEEee. i'm not sure I shall ever resurface. her art is calling to me on a level i can not even begin to describe.

*sigh* heaven. heaven on earth.

 my sweet hubby has agreed i need my studio back. but there is no extra room in this house, so we've decided to convert the "pit of despair" into some semblance of a studio for me. (The "pit of despair" is a loving name with reference to "The Princess Bride"--in the house we are in for the time being-- it's a "sunken" pit. literally. with fireplace and carpeted wall to wall benches *oh the sweet 70's architecture*...since we don't sit around the fire singing Kumbaya every night it's very wasted space!) this will be the biggest challenge ever to make it my own!

Look at the divine inspiration I found.

Vintage Vagabond Market and Soiree

WOW! I can't believe I didn't post about this in my post earlier today! We went to the Vintage Market last night that I talked about on my blog a week or so ago! We had the time of our lives, it was GORGEOUS, we got to go on two home tours of the most amazing houses ever! We got to look through so many artist's booths! It was truly amazing. We all dressed up in our "Vintage Bohemian Glamor" it was so enchanting to see 100's of ladies dressed up in all their finery!



Look what I splurged on, I've been wanting one of Beth's necklaces so very badly for so long and I bought this one at the Market! I went to her blog today and apparently it was quite the topic of conversation! I'm SO glad I got it! The doll does scare some a bit but she holds a certain calling to me, as if she is whispering her secrets. The charm attached at the bottom (which you can't see) says "She followed her heart".

Next year I hope everyone will come, it was magical.

Spring Cleaning Part Two

I woke up with a bee in my bonnet today (apparently)
and cleaned for almost 8 hours straight, you know all those tiny cracks where dust bunnies hold thier annual meetings?


Cleaned out cupboards, drawers, closets oh and unpacked about 12 boxes of books on my new Ikea book cases!

Hooray!

Flashback Friday is Back: What 1973 Looks Like.

So whilst blog hopping for the first time in MONTHS I hopped over to one of my favorites {Ashley's} and she had done the most fabulous project and it only took a few minutes! What does the year look like that you were born in?

I simply did a google search of 1973...and voila (so I don't know any of these people personaly)! I think I'm going to try this again and do like 1980 when I was about 7-8ish so I might actually remember some of this stuff! :D
