William is Born!!! (Scrapbook Layout)

At long last I have created something!  William is now 3 months old and just adorable.  This layout captures those amazing moments as he was born and just after...hopefully more layouts and art to come!!!

Good Luck!!!

Lots of news!!!!!! Cancer, etc...

No artsy pictures today as we are currently "in-between" cameras...Baby William is 2 months old now and perfectly delicious, delightful, and adorable...all 16 pounds of him!!!!  I just found out that I have thyroid cancer, a minor, treatable cancer and will have surgery in 2 days to remove my entire thyroid.  That is a very difficult thing to deal with, with taking care of a new baby.  But I am managing incredibly well with the help of Mr. Awesome Hubby!!!  I also have a new, CRAZY-FUN haircut in defiance of the cancer.  But no pictures of it yet due to the whole no camera situation. Sunday I started a new painting in my sketchbook and last night I made an entire scrapbook layout!!!!! (I just have to do the journaling)  The first art I've created in 3 months and it feels soooooooooooooooo good.  That's life these days in a nutshell...

A day at the Sandy River

A recent scrapbook layout.  I might be taking longer breaks between posts as I am now 9 months pregnant, and finding it a little harder to create these days!!!

A Commisioned Painting

My sister-in-law requested me to paint her something very similar to a painting that I already did last fall.  This is the result!  Mixed media fabric, paper, and paint.  It's also the largest painting I have ever done, about 24"X36".  It was a challenge as I am 8 months pregnant and it took some maneuvering!!! :-)

A Wedding Card for my Nephew and his bride!!!

Webster's Pages, Pink Paislee, and a little Making Memories accent.  Et Voila!
