Thanks so much to Pam at Playfully Smitten for this award!

The rules are: List 7 things that you love and then pass the award on to 7 people...tagging them and letting them know they won! You can copy the picture of the award and put it on your sideboard letting the whole wide world know you are KReATIV!

7 Things I love:

1. Of course my family is #1. Those who are still with me, and those who are in heaven.

2. My little Westie, Max. He is the sweetest, most cuddly little guy!

3. My friends. I have great friends from my childhood and teen years, I'm so glad we have stayed in touch. Even if it's only talking a few times a year.

4. All of the wonderful internet friends I have made over the years! I am so lucky to have met

so many nice, caring people.

5. My computer...a little too much! I don't know what I would do without it!

6. Baby smiles and laughs. They are just the best pick-me-up there is!

R.I.P. Russell Alan Greenway

On February 19, 2009, my sweet, wonderful brother lost his life in an accident, when the truck he was riding in was hit by a drunk driver. I don't know what I'm going to do without him. He was the most kind, caring person in the world. Please pray for our family, especially his wife Mickey, his son Jason and his daughter Amber.

Me and my baby brother Russ. I love you so much Russ!

I've been tagged again!!! This time by Sharon of Mustard Seed Originals http://www.mustardseedoriginals.blogspot.com/

This time I'll tell you a little more about what I do and what I have done in the past:

1. I have been lucky enough to have my designs published in magazines since 1998. I will have new designs in Create and Decorate next year, in the August, October, December and Holiday issue.
2. I have had two painting books published.
3. I designed an ornament for the Library of Congress Christmas tree. Artist's from all over the U.S. made and ornament that represented their state. The ornaments will be on the tree for years to come.
4. I didn't win, but I was in the 10 finalists in the Great American Craft-off.
5. I'm mainly a painter, but like to try new things. Right now I'm experimenting with collage. I will be doing more painting soon though. I've done a few dolls, although I'm not really a sewer. I am in awe of the dollmaker's.

Now I'm suppose to tag 5 more people, so I'm going to tag:

1. Simple -Folk http://www.simple-folk.blogspot.com/
2. My Blackbird's Journey http://www.myblackbirdsjourney.blogspot.com/
3. Cottage Days http://cottagedays.blogspot.com/
4. Vintage Palette Art http://vintagepaletteart.blogspot.com/

"Ghost's of Childhood Past"

A couple digital collages I did today.

2008-01-25T20:12:00.000-08:00

After a long dry spell, I've finally created a couple collages. I just listed them on Ebay! It felt good to make something again. Hopefully make more soon.

2008-01-09T19:12:00.000-08:00

I've been tagged!!!!

Here are a few things about me:

1. I stay up all night, and sleep half the day. I've always been a night person...I don't do mornings!
2. I'm a reality show junkie! There...I admitted it out loud!
3. Mean people really irritate me. It's not in my nature to hurt anyone, and I don't understand how people can be like that.
4. I love my family so much it hurts!
5. My favorite foods are not healthy...pizza, country ham and jumbo fried shrimp!
6. I love my little Westie Max! He is the sweetest little guy!
7. I"ve never met some of my best friends in person! I have met so many wonderful people on the internet. I am blessed to have them in my life!

2007-12-11T12:50:00.000-08:00

Christmas is just around the corner, and I'm pretty much finished with my shopping and decorating. It will be a quiet Christmas around here, just my hubby and I.

I was lucky enough to get contracts for 7 new designs that will be in Create and Decorate magazine next year, starting in August. I've been working on getting them done, I like to try to send them all at once, even though the deadlines aren't until next year. I hope you will watch for them!

Other then that, there isn't much else going on around here.

Here's wishing you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a Happy New Year!
