I'm feeling much better!

I'm feeling much better! It's been a long week. I missed one full day of work and 2 half days. It's always nice to think about a day at home during the week but not when you are too sick to get out of bed. Luckly so far Paul & Lori haven't come down with anything. knock on wood. Thanks for all the nice well wishes! Ann

My latest collage!

Here is my latest piece of art. I was working on this before I became sick and didn't have a chance to post it. The verse is 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Love is patient, Love is kind. It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perserveres.


The picture below is a larger picture of the one in the frame on the collage. This is Paul & me around 1988 in Harper's Ferry, WV.



The Holy Wedlock image was the inspiration for this piece. I found the image on a very neat site, Bailey's Bliss. Her link is on the sidebar to the left. She has other images for sharing. You'll enjoy visiting her site. The forget me not flowers in the background are also from her site. Thanks for sharing these neat images Stacie!

One of my Valentine gifts

This collage was one of my Valentine day gifts from Paul. He knows how I love collages so he made me one. The words are a song by George Strait titled "It Just Comes Natural". Thank you Paul so much. I Love You!

It Just Comes Natural
George Strait


Sun shines, clouds, rain
Train whistles blow and guitars play
Preachers preach, framers plow
Wishes go up and the world goes round.

And I love you, it just come natural
It just comes natural
Seasons change rivers, wind
Tumble weeds roll and the stars shine
Wind howls, dawn breaks
Cowboys riding', time slips away.

And I love you, it just come natural
It's what I was born to do
Don't have to think it through
Baby, it's so easy loving you
It just come natural.

It's what I was born to do
Don't have to think it through
Baby, it's so easy loving you.

Fire burns, waves crash
Seeds grow and good things last
Ships sail, dreams fly
Night falls and full moons rise.

And I love you, it just come natural
And I love you, it just come natural
It just come natural
It just come natural...

Some Valentine Tags

I've been working on Valentine Tags and here is the results! Please let me know what you think! Ann

I figured it was time I should add some more art to this site if it is going to be a site about "art". So here is piece I did for my first journal. It was the introductory page for what I wanted to express in the journal. I love the lace paper.
