Star Wars bags

With my daughters help, I did these with my Silhouette for a friend;s son's birthday. 

Amazing sunrise

Nature is the best art. Here is an amazing sunrise I took a picture of in Utah in December 

Another Paint night

I did another paint night with friends ( and family). Gave my granddaughter a brush so she could join us.





Here is my painting: It is acrylics and I saw a painting online that I used for the idea.  

Mom was here visiting and she decided to knit. 


 Here is my daughter in law


Other friends played along too! 

Peek thru book for Radiant class


This is another project for the Radiant II class. Lesson was by Tangie Baxter.  I used Dylusions paints along with other things.

Life goes on

I haven't posted here much but I am going to post a bunch. I think only one person views my blog anymore so I apologize for posting so much at once. This is just a good way to keep record of what I have done.

My life is a bit crazy. I have been helping some of my kids as they return to school and are dealing with different challenges.  My company announced they are closing the local office Dec 2016 and I decided to move with the company rather than loss my job. This means for the next few years I am going to live in Michigan and support multiple households. I already spent a month training people in Michigan to replace people here.  I did apply and get a new job within the company with a nice raise, thankfully. My mother-in-law had a stroke in Dec and is party paralyzed. We have been making trips to visit although we are not much help. And just this week, we learned that my sister-in-law has brain cancer.

Needless to say, things are crazy at home but art still helps to calm me and brings me piece. I am still doing the art online journaling class.  I am taking piano lessons.  Still doing card classes just not as much. I am going through my craft supplies to decide what will go and what will stay. I did a photo challenge early this year but couldn't keep up.

Going to make an annoying amount of posts.

Sorry Loz! :)

Reindeer Die cards

I got this new reindeer  and word dies.  They cut very nice. I got them from Tuesday Morning but I don't remember the brand.  Here are the cards I did with them.

Simple Card for first person leaving

My company is closing the local office and I will be moving to another location for a few years. The local office is open for another year but because of my position, I will have to go sooner.  Here is the card I did for the first person who found a job.


Simple double stamp of the Lovely as a Tree Stampin Up set with an embossed background. Isn't great how a beautiful stamp doesn't need a much to create a beautiful card.
