Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Valentine's Day

Star of the Circus

When I was a child I went to see the Barnum and Baily Circus. It was so exciting. The energy level was amazing and I loved the animals the most. I stood 3 feet from a Tiger in a cage and couldn't believe how huge he was. His head must have been about two and a half feet across....Huge.....so beautiful. They had an elephant ride and I got to ride on one. Their hair is so stiff, not soft like it looked.

King of the Circus

Yes I do love my 4 x 4 Chunky book pages...they are so fun and all the fluffy yarn and beads. When you get them all together with a ring binder they are so cool. Six or seven make a really fun size. This was part of a 6 x 6 swap I am in.

Have a little fun...

Just wanted to make a few Valentine Cards...This is 5" x 5". It was fun no pressure for any trades, no swaps just fun Valentines.

Circus Circus Circus

These are three of the six Chunky Book pages I made for a swap. Of course the theme was

Circus. I love the vintage images I found in a book I bought at Barns and Noble. "The Victorian Scrap Gallery" It is a beautiful book by Dee Davis and Gail B. Cooper. All the images are printed on one side of the page only do you can cut them out I guess, or maybe because they print better that way. I could never cut them out it is such a lovely book.

Art Trader Magazine

PUBLISHED ART
How exciting....I entered a contest in October over at Mail Art World http://www.mailartworld.com/ and even thought I didn't win the contest my Postcard was published in the ART TRADER MAGAZINE http://www.arttradermag.com/ issue number 5 on page 31. Now most of you know I am not a big fan of Halloween and you know about my lovely friend Carol who was a big fan of the holiday and so you know why I entered this Halloween Postcard contest.

I am very impressed with this magazine. It is an on line magazine but I understand it is soon to go hard copy and we will be able to buy it right along with our many Somerset publications.
