In my Mind's Eye

My creative juices have not been flowing, but I'm trying to squeeze them out. Having time on my hands doesn't mean the mood strikes me lately. I know all artists deal with this dilemma, I am not the first and won't be the last. I finally got some energy and began painting my little statues from the garden that represent my two daughters, Amber and Bridgett. I still have to find the perfect place for them, but glad to have them in good shape again. With all the rain we've had, all my flowers are blooming and need some company!

February is almost over, but the thrill of Valentines is still on my mind. I had so much fun creating cards for my boys, my girlfriends and my hubby. It gave me joy to see their faces when they opened them up. That's what card making is all about. I wanted to do more, but time ran out. There's always next year!

I have a new toy. It's called the Cuttlebug. I can emboss with it and make die cuts. Jayden and I have had fun trying different things. So far he has covered a mini notebook and I am making invitations for a baby shower for my Bridgett, who is due in May with our first Princess. Having a die cutter will help make my cards "pop" as well as the embossing. My next entry will be about quilting, I hope, as I am taking a quilting class in March. So many crafts, so little time!!
