The Four by Four Challenge

This page might be a repeat for some of you but it was all I had to share today and I just wanted to change my Valentine page.  Tomorrow is my BIRTHDAY....so I thought I would start celebrating tonight with a HOT FUDGE SUNDAY.......yummmmmmm.  It was a very small sunday, but just right after a steak dinner with garlic mashed potatoes and fresh veggies.  I love going to Applebees. Their food is always fresh and yummy.  Anyway my biggest BIRTHDAY TREAT would be to see how many of you would leave a note for me. One would be a true friend, two would be a blessing and three or more would be the frosting on the cake....Hugs..........................DIANE

Happy Valentine's Day

Hope you all have a SWEET DAY.  These are some ATC's that I did back in 2009.  I am running late today and need to go and dry my hair or I will have a bad hair day...don't know why I bother it is raining today.  We have had an unusually warm Feb. so I guess I won't complain, we really need the rain.

If you are staying home with your SWEETHEART don't forget to tell them how special they are on this special day ... Hugs....................DIANE

Making Messes and Playing with Paper Mache

My friend Ranie over at Chatty Wacky Whims came over to play and make messes with me. We had so much fun and laughed and giggled a lot. I saved four Coffee Mate jugs and we covered them in paper mache. Then we painted them with a coat of Gesso.  We haven't finished painting them yet but I will share them when we finish them.  Have a wonderful weekend.......................Hugs, Diane http://www.flickr.com/photos/artist_ranie__chatty/

Puppy Time

Well here are the pictures of the puppy Roxy that I promised.  The top one she is the youngest and smallest.  Really the size of a Beanie Baby.  The other two are from yesterday. She we had a nice sunny day in the backyard.  She is very fun but a lot of work too.  She loves to get a kleenex and shred it to bits on my carpet.

The Sweetest Month

I haven't been taking pictures of any of my work lately.  Not even our new puppy has had her picture taken except with my phone...I packed my Nikon on our little three day get away and never took it out of the case..

I am in the process of re-doing my studio.  It seems I have so much STUFF that I am in the need for more shelves. I also am going to add another table.  I got a Circut the ultimate paper cutter.  Hopefully I can get organized and keep my tables cleared off for work space.

Puppy's take up a lot of your time.. I guess I forgot how much attention they need. I take her to work so when we are home I feel I have to give her some play time and some training.  Yesterday the weather was nice so I worked with her on a leash for the first time.  She did really good. Of course she is so little, about 2 pounds now, you barely feel her on the end of the leash....

Hope my blog friends missed me a little...I promise I will get some pictures of the puppy that is taking all my art time away from me, and hopefully I can keep up with my blog friendships this the sweetest month..Hugs and blessings.......................................DIANE GLASS

Flash Back and Up Dates

I just had to change my blog today...and I didn't have any new photos.  I have been making jewelry like a mad woman every chance I get.  It has been cloudy and dark so I haven't felt like taking any pictures, here are some older pieces.  Maybe you have seen them and some probably not. 

It is raining hard here today, so glad I don't have to go out.  Today is my Art Day.  So I am off to play and create something magical.  Love and Hugs........................DIANE

1-1-11

Nothing like new snow to start the New Year.  New, fresh, revitalized.  With the promise of a new spring and all the broken promises....I never make resolutions anymore, learned a long time ago that promises were made to be broken.  If you never expect to much from someone, you will never be disappointed.  Time is rushing at us at break-neck-speed.   The only way to slow it down some is to have no regrets at the end of the day.   Do what you like and like what you do.  Surround yourself with people who "get you". Let the others go their own way, find their own path. Live everyday with gusto, laugh a lot, sing in the shower. Don't have that second piece of cake but savor the first bite.  In other words jump into 2011 with both feet, leave no stone unturned, step out of the box and do something you have always wanted to do.  It really is a wonderful life. Even if we can only let our troubles go for a little while....life is good.      DIANE

Asking For Trouble

I guess we decided to end the year with a BANG.....We lost all our resistance and after having only one dog for the last ten years we have added to our home a new little one.  She is a tiny Chihuahua and will only weigh five pounds when grown..She is a little pistol. Our other little dog is ten years old now and needless to say her nose is extremely out of joint.  It was fun to have her over the weekend so we could give her lots of attention.  Now we get to see how she does at work.  Our older dog is settled into the routine so I guess you might say we are headed to alot of work and training...Oh...We named her Roxy.  She is smaller than a Beanie Baby.  Needless to say we have to watch where we walk (in more ways than one).

Have a JOYFUL DAY...........................DIANE
