gOOD BYE NOVEMBER

Well I can't believe this month is gone....the time seems to be in warp speed...guess it will slow down when the snow flies Or when pigs fly............I remember the old people talking when I was as child, "my how the time flies" "seems like just yesterday that Johnny was a little tike, now he has children of his own." All the remember when....story's of days gone by. They never would have believed that we would be writing our thoughts on this machine to people we only know this way, and have never met face to face. No fence to talk over....no porch to sit on. Only to sit in our living rooms and travel around the world, meeting people who have the same interest, making art and staying connected. I hope December gives you all you desire. Peace and Love...and the greatest of these is LOVE. Diane

Odds and Ends






I haven't had much time for art the last few days.........guess it will pretty much be that way until after the new year........the two houses are ATC size 2.5 x 3.5...........they were traded away at ATC for All. The little charm bracelet was a swap at the same site for ALTERED CHARMS. I put all the charms that I received on a bracelet. They are all so unique I love to get it out and look at it......Have a blessed Sunday. Diane

Christmas Postcard


This is a postcard I made for a swap. I think I have to make 6 of them...the theme is winter. Sorry it is crooked...I photograph them instead of scanning them. This one has an overlay of transparency and then I used alcohol inks to enhance the color....It is much prettier in person, maybe I should try a scan...
Have an artful Day........................................Diane

Well thank your Jan for the award and including me in your list of Best Friends.....Its true you really do get connected to friendships in the world wide web. The feeling of longtime friends happens when you share similar interest and that mysterious CLICK that happens in real life when you meet someone and it feels like you have known them for a long time...I am suppose to pass this on to 4 people that I consider my best friends and one new friend in another country. I am out of time this morning but will finish this later........Hugs, Diane

Time No Excuses


Time waits for no one, just do it. Get it done. Start something new. A new Month, a new day, new art. A new idea. Just jump in with both feet the end will take care of itself. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.........If it is a FLOP throw it out and start anew, don't let your dissatisfaction pile up on you................Have fun........LIFE IS SWEET. Diane
