Kayaking Lake Michigan!!

  To celebrate our birthdays(of LAST year!) Mary and I finally got around to cashing in our Groupons to kayak the lakefront on the North Shore,near Wilmette.

We had a beautiful summer evening!

Thanks Mary Sue...and Happy Birthday again! XO

Summer artwork

Longtime no blog! Haven't been in the mood,I guess.....

Some recent artwork:

First,this is a tag I made for the AATCUK group swap,the them of which was vintage medical images. Fun fun fun! 

 These next four pix are of pages I made for my friend Ali's journal. She did four for my journal  in June too.We gave each other 4 themes,and worked on pages for each other's journal...a really fun concept.
Her first was "Hope" On the back of the little tag is a personal message of hope tht I have for Ali. The girl stamp is by the fabuous Julie Nutting,of course! Hi Julie!

A portrait theme led to this...love using my Twinks!

 Ali wanted me to write a poem,so of course I did a Haiku. Background by Gelli!!!

 Summer/sun was the theme...this means "the sun makes me sing",in old Provençal.

 For the Ancestor's round robin,these were my pages for Karen...check out the wonderful cab card photo I used of the lady and the crocodile...Karen is from Bayou country!
