Knight In Shining Armor

Well I finally re-sized my photos for this post but I am running out of time and might be late for work.This is my latest book.  The blank book was purchased but I had to cut out all the background paper.  Ugg...but it turned out really cute and I think my niece will love it..It was really fun and I sewed a bag to keep it in with my great nephew's first initial on it and a gold braided tassel drawstring.

  Have a great weekend and Art On.....................DIANE

About TIME

Yes, I am still around...I have been keeping up on my Blog Hopping but haven't up dated my blog in awhile.  Reason being...I haven't had anything to say or up load.  My interest have been on a roller coaster of late.  I started in on my Genealogy and spend most of my computer time researching the past.  Been sick for the last week, and of course the puppy is still demanding most of my time.  I have made a couple chunky books and now I am trying to find pictures to go in them.  Having a hard time finding just the right ones.  Anyway I ran across this picture that I took awhile ago and it inspired me to share it. 

I still love and miss all my blogger artist's and want you to know that I am seeing what you are doing and am always inspired by your creative ability.  I hope you are having fun with whatever you are creating.  KEEP ART ALIVE.......Love and Hugs, Diane

Busy Busy Busy

Sorry it has been so long between posts. Many thing going on here, so many things I want to do. My friend Chatty Ranie and I made this book. She bought the ZUTTER cutter for heavy cardboard.  We cut out the blank stock. She also has the cute little pink BIND-IT-ALL.  While she was visiting we made the blank book and later I decorated it with the pretty paper background and then printed all the pictures and added some scrapbook fun things and used my CRICUT to cut some hats and numbers.  A touch of ribbon and off in the mail to my niece for her youngest who turned Two.. How can you go wrong with a cute little face like that...

I have signed up with ANCESTORY.COM and adding to our family genealogy.  I worked on it several years ago and wanted to get further back.  Still some family I haven't found.  It means more time on the pc and less time in the art room.  So there you have it..I will still check on the blog list.   Love to see what everyone else is doing.  Hugs, DIANE

First Day Of Spring

MEET MY LITTLE RED HEAD

They aren't quite finished...Still in the need of a little more detail but I wanted to share them anyway..They sure were fun.  ENJOY........................DIANE

Time for Fun

Finally I got my pictures to my pc.  My first download crashed, and I lost all my photos from the camera.  Luckily I had them on my laptop.  But I had to get them from the laptop to the pc.  Laptop doesn't burn CD's and I have a detachable burner. Burner on pc OUT OF ORDER....Anyway it was a process.  radarada....
This is not finished yet but I wanted to share it.  Still have more detail to add.  It is a Coffee Mate plastic bottle.   Hope you like her, I will show the other one a red head later.  Have an artful weekend....Hugs, DIANE

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
