We need a little help from you....

I was contaced by Jillian a fellow blogger about helping out her family, by creating a star. Now you ask why would she want you to create a star. I read her email (below) and was intriqued went to her site and read her blog (see sidebar under Jillian will take you to her site). She is teaching her children about the holocaust, and in the process making us remember......that genocide exists and still does today. So I am going to create that star and send it to her, and it will also be for the millions of people who have lost someone they love... So why dont you go over to her site and look at her blog and maybe you to will be inspired to do something good today.

have been coming to your blog for awhile now. I thought I would write
you aquick note to see if you would be interested in helping. I'm doing a
little home school project with my kids. We want to build a small Holocaust memorial in our front yard, so that my kids can remember all the Jews that lost their lives. We are asking people to send us “stars.” Any kind of star, made from
anything you wish. These stars will symbolize the lights that went out due to the
Holocaust.If you are interested in doing this please let me know... I'll email
you ouraddress.

Inspsire me Thursday - Whimsy

I dont know if you will think my David is whimsy or not, but I got a kick out of doing it.

Illustration FridayWorry

Well you are probably scratching your head and saying what the ....does that have to do with worry. Well my aunt everytime she got worried, went and got out her worry beads and counted them and handled them and she believed it help her worries disappear. Hence my take on worry beads.

The Daily Grind....

I dont really have a daily grind...since I retired I feel like i am on a holiday. I need routine in my life, that is what work does. Now I am trying to build my life without outside working and get a routine. I have not managed it yet, but will. I need to priortize duties that need to be done each day, accomplish those and also have time for me. I have been feeling like everything lately that I have been creating is not up to parr. I am not looking for compliments from anyone. Dont you ever just look at what you are creating and say I am not an artist. Look at what everyone else out there is doing, I feel like mine is very amertursh. So I decided to try something different and make a few ATC and stretch my limits, try different techniques and see how it goes. Here is my first try. I used Rangers Inks and the Blending soloution and make the backdrop used a stamp I have hanging around and black pen. So what do you think...

Take Part Tuesday Challenge-Room

I know she looks crooked, that is what happens when I dont use my easel....I decided to put in the words just in case you cant see from the drawing that she is pregnant not just chunky.....Hope you like it.

Tag Your It..Pretty and Feminine

When creating this tag, I used chalk, a mask,paint pink and yellow, the chalk was white, and rubber stamps. I think brown, pink and yellow are feminine and soft colours. I hope you like it.
