WELCOME!
My site has been a bit idle for almost 5 years, while I became a new grandmother!

I stopped all artwork when my daughter announced on Easter, that she was going to have a baby about Christmas time! I changed my hobby, from artwork to sewing and made cloth diapers, diaper bags, changing pads, blakets, and other such "baby items." My first grandson, Stephen Grant, was born December of 2003, and my second grand son, Philip, or PJ, was born in August of 2005. My daughter stayed home for a number of months, but I was the primary day-care provider for a couple of years, until the boys needed a nanny that could drive them to school, swim lessons, gymnastics, and the myriad of other activities that young boys do these days. When the oldest was just over 4, I returned to my art and art classes! It has taken almost a full year to get back into the swing of things, and after all this time, I am just now starting to produce art work that is worth looking at!

Here are my first attempts at returning to producing cards. You will notice I am still in learning mode, and not quite as good as before my break. My eye sight has been considerably reduced, but I just keep playing with art supplies!
