Stormy Weather...

Hello, boy did we have some storms yesterday. Crazy - even a tornado touched down a mile from my house. Well there must have been winds because this is my tree ... but my neighbor's garage.

I'm thankful no one was outside and the dogs were safe. How hard must the wind have been to just pull this 60 foot tree from the ground and actually snap fence poles?

Mother Nature is a force that is for sure.

Still have technical difficulties linking to my card scans - it's getting fixed this weekend. Please come back. Thanks - Chrisi

I see you ....

Le Faux Miroir (The False Mirror) is a painting by Rene Magritte -- and I love it. I took this picture of the painting when I visited the MoMA in New York City.

I thought I'd share while I try to fix some technical difficulties linking to pictures of my card art.

Enjoy - Chrisi

For Dora (finally)

And today is her birthday - Happy Birthday Dora!

I committed to making a set of birthday cards for her. I haven't been inspired lately. So finally I was able to finish a full set of birthday cards.

I'll be sharing them with you as time goes by.

Enjoy. Chrisi

Love a Lot

I made this card for a Hero Arts Challenge - the challenge was "pink" .... the poodle punch was a gift from Lauryne to me. I love it.

Enjoy! Chrisi

Collage Card

Here's a collage card I made for Terri's birthday last year. She enjoyed it - I hope you do.

Great friends are a fun!

I have fantasic friends! Laura (the wonderful) http://stampart.blogspot.com/ helped me celebrate my birthday with some crafting buddies.

I came away with wonderful cards and as a small thank you - I made this monkey card for them. It's colored with Copic markers and I love them.

New Camera ....

I have treated myself to a new camera. It's a Canon Rebel XTI. I shot a few pictures outside today to see what they look like. These are a few flowers that bloom in early spring in my backyard.

I'm sure I'll be sharing more new pictures with you as I learn more. But if you want to see really good pictures, check out this link: http://thepioneerwoman.com/ You'll enjoy any time you spend searching around there for a bit.

Enjoy, Chrisi
