Where has the summer gone

I can't believe that I haven't been on here in ages! I spent most of the summer remodeling my house and going to doctors. Then I went to spend some time with my sister and my ATC group's yearly gathering in Wisconson. The day after the gathering I fell and injured my eye. Not fun being rushed around to 3 different hospitals while on vacation! I have lost the vision in my left eye and the eye lid will no longer open. Once I got out of the hospital I was lucky that I got to go to the doc 3 more times (NOT) while I was staying at my sisters house...GERRRRRRRRRRRR... I had hoped to spend a quiet 6 weeks with my sister. I did get some ATC's made while I stayed with Marge but I really didn't do a lot of art. I'm back home now and trying to do my art in between doc visits. How I would love just one week to stay at home and create art!

Right now I'm working on a calendar page for one of the groups I'm in. I will share it when I get it done. I will soon need to start my Christmas cards. I have a tentative plan for them and the materials are all pulled together and waiting till I have some time to work on them. I'm looking forward to getting the time to work on my paintings again too.

Well off to bed it has been a busy day! I will try to post some art soon.

Marge's MerBaby

I haven't finished this painting yet. I still need to add the bees wax and of course a few little surprises in the wax but I thought I would post it now. I am very happy with how this painting is turning out.

I have completed my Alphabet ATC's for my ATC yahoo group and wanted to share them.

Altered playing card book "Friends" by Jessie Mae

I received this wonderful friend book that is made by altering playing cards from Jessie Mae. I think that she did an awesome job on this book!!

TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR FUTURE

I received this in an email and believe that everyone needs to check out this site. We all need to take responsibility for where this country is headed. We are allowing the government to make decisions that are not what the founding fathers intended! We are allowing this country to become Godless. (I will not get into a debate which God is the only God.) Please check out this site by clicking the title of this blog entry or using the link copied from the email.

Hi Everyone:

I don’t know if you got a chance to watch the Glenn Beck show about Project 912 or not, but I felt it said a lot about what is happening in America right now and what the Founding Fathers said about America in it’s inception. Forget about Political Parties, just remember what it means to be an American. Check out the web site and make a decision: do something or don’t – it’s your choice. We are going to get the books “The 5000 Year Leap” , “The Real George Washington” and “For You They Signed”. If you are a reader and want to know more about the true leaders who started this country and what their vision of this country meant, then try one or more of these books. Again, it’s entirely up to you! Here is the URL – at least go to the site and browse………..
