My Wisdom of the day.

Eliminate the Negative, Commemorate the Positve!

Two found books.

As I was cleaning out some of my books and magazines, I came across these two .

These were books I picked up at yard sales for almost zilch, and are two of my

favorite artist of our day.

I love Norman Rockwell, his paintings are so full of detail, and he had the ability to bring his subjects to life. Don't you agree?

And when I see anything done by Thomas Kinkade I find peace and quiet.

Here's another wall

This wall is full of more of my supplies, that I do use everyday....

Hanging on the wall is an acrylic painting of a family of dolphins, this is just one of three paintings of dolphins I done one I sold and the other is on display at our local cafe here in town. I do paintings in oil, acrylic and watercolor.

You may not be able to see it very well but the two green frames hold Artist trading cards that come from many artist from around the world... I love trading with my friends at http://www.atcsforall.com/ But I havent been on there in some time. ( note to self need to check in with them ).

On the top are tons of photo boxes (yes they are all full and organized) this has taken months, a big chunk of my time, but I am so glad I got it done... Now I need to get them all in scrapbooks and albums.

The three hat boxes are full as well as the two clear boxes next to them....

By the way It didn't show in these Pict. but the 6 bottom shelves are full of books and magazines.

My DH found these three tall bookcases (that were free) and in perfect condition to boot. Oh what luck, well it didn't take long to fill them up. They take up one whole wall, but hold all my art and craft books.... well almost. I have more bookcases in the rest of the house... did I tell you I'm a book nut!!!!

Nice and clean!

Besides spending time with the kiddo's, I have completely redone my home studio/workroom... this was a chore, but so worth it. hopefully I can just put my hands on what I want and need, when I need it for all them crafty things I doooooo....

Here's my nice clean organized work table.

You Like? belive me it wont look like this after tonight.

Here's another of my grandchildren this is Julie, I have 4 (Jeffery, Julie, Aaron and Cade).....it was such a nice day the kids talked me into riding a bike. Let me tell you it took me some time to get the hang of it. This was the first time I've been on a bike in 35+ years.....

But I so injoyed it.

Boy how time flies!

Well hello everyone....it's been awhile since I have done anything here OMG! I can't believe I haven't been here in so long....time just doesn't stand still.

I have been spending a lot of time with my youngest grandbaby.

This is Cade he's a little cutie pie....SEE
