Jane's collage is on its way. I took it to the post office yesterday (11/29), so she might even have it by the weekend!
I was thrilled with the results, even though they felt repetitive (since she got my earlier postcard). Oh well, maybe it will in…

Hi All,
I finished my collage tonight. Have put on one coat of Modge Podge, but think I'll do another before I call it good. Should be mailing it tomorrow or Monday to Jane!
Hope everyone had as much fun as I did making their collage!

Oh my goodness, Susan! This picture...is not only wonderful, but it SO reminds me of one of ME at about the same age. I must search for it!

No problem, Carol! I thought it was some kind of "message" for me to work hard to make this one different! It doesn't sound like Jane is upset, so all is well.
Hi All,
Finally got my chipboard all gesso-ed and dry. Tonight I have been laying out my collage. It will be fun to have something to work on over the holiday...although I have to work tomorrow, but not too hard!
Looking forward to sending Jane my…

Hi Susan,
We Americans (at least, the USA ones) will celebrate Thanksgiving on Nov. 26th - one week from today! The Canadians celebrated Thanksgiving a few weeks ago. I don't know of another of the Americas that celebrates. Anyway, it's one of my f…
Mary, I LOVE this photograph!

YUMMY!

My Rainbow from spacefem.com
Saw this on DJ's blog, so had to try it for myself. The results are inspiring at the moment. Tomorrow, maybe I'll see if anything different comes up!
Your rainbow is intensely shaded red, violet, and indigo.

Today
Hello Friends!
Thank you for hanging in here with and for me. It's been a long road from Winter to Spring, but I feel as if I'm in full bloom, and I am happy, happy, happy...about most things!
Today I helped my friend Elizabeth turn her home into an "art gallery" full of her daughter's artworks. Erin (a member of CCS) just graduated from high school and will be enrolling in Art Institute of Boston in the Fall. Her mother, Elizabeth, and I worked for several hours this afternoon "framing" a bun… Continue

- Mary, Thanks for the e-mail. For some reason, the ning system won't let me reply to it, even though I've tried several times.
But, yes, school has started here, and the year ahead looks exciting. I hope your eighth grader is doing well academically and socially. Keep your prayers going for him, and he'll be fine.
I posted a bit about the Honduras trip on My CCS Page under "DJ's Stuff" and will post more on my "DJ's Studio" blog soon. Check it out when you get a chance...God is good.
It sounds like you're really into art journaling and enjoying it! I think it's great. If you want to start a journal swap with me, I'd enjoy it very much. Whee! All I ask is that we keep it non-themed so we can each do what we want artistically. Is that OK with you? :-)
We can each begin by doing a couple of pages in our own, then swap them, right?
Let me know what you're thinking. :-)
So glad to hear you're doing well...Happy Labor Day Weekend to you & yours...
Love & Laughter,
Deej

- Mary, Thanks so much. I think counted cross stitching is relaxing unless you are doing a large project. Then it can get to be frustrating. Right now I a m sticking with the small pieces.
