Theme Thursday Red/Black

I created my tag with red inks from Ranger and used a "Stamp in Hand" I purchased a very long time ago!

Three Muses #87 Fashion

I couldn't make up my mind how to answer this challenge, there were so many ways to go and this wasn't the one I originally intended! But, things work out just how they should sometimes, and I like my two ladies in their stunning hats. I'm sure, in their day, they were the cat's pyjamas.

Take a Word - Botanical

Finally decided to work on trying to journal. I threw acrylics, glazes and other goodies at it until the page curled! :o) The print is sort of small, but I wrote "The flowers taught her that her dreams were always possible." Hopefully, I'll get better as time progresses.

TMTA - Steampunk

I'm back...had my surgery after two false starts. Gonna start slow, but what better place to start than TMTA? My ATC uses Paper Artsy stamps and Moonlight Journey images.

On a personal note, thanks for putting up with all my postings about my surgery. It's over and now the recovery process can begin. It's going to take a little longer than anticipated, but hopefully there won't be any major bumps in the road. I'm grateful to have retired, but I really have had an "interesting" time of it with my health issues. I should write a book...nah, too boring! Anyway, hopefully a few still remember me and will drop by! Thanks much!

Third Time is the Charm

I've heard that saying and hope it's true! Today I am scheduled for surgery at 1:30! I think I'm beyond nervous after preparing twice for it and having it canceled. But a few good wishes and prayers for a successful outcome and a quick recovery sure would be appreciated!! So, au revoir for now!

Surgery Cancelled!!!!

Again!!! But this time, Mother Nature interfered. My world is a sheet of ice. The main roads are fairly clear, but the side roads are like glass...they're frightening. And the sidewalks...wow! My son and DIL were with me, we made it onto the main road and were half way to the hospital when the surgical nurse called me to tell me the surgeon was unable to leave his home...apparently he lives on a hill that's now like an luge run. So, my surgery has been cancelled again (do you wonder if maybe the Universe is trying to tell me something?) and I have to call in later today and reschedule.

So much for my whine today!

Steampunk Piece

I made this piece with an image of a cute little steampunk girl from Inka at AlteredArtifacts. I painted the background with watercolors, used a swirl stamp with T.H. Vintage Photo ink, Ranger gold and even a try with a little pink. Some other bits and pieces from various collage sheets and there she is!
