Inspiration is good for what ails you...

When my muse is missing in action,

I find it's always a good thing to

look at gorgeous, creative things that

others have made ~

Isn't that wonderful?

That we can recharge our batteries

just by looking at other artist's beautiful work??

Here are a few that stir my soul...

Here is a piece by Lisa Jurist...you KNOW I love this!

A gorgeous wedding purse by Daphne Nicole....

The whimsical paper mache artistry of Debbie Thibault ~ just magical!

Sweet Ann Perry's beautiful work....

My sweet bottle from Lisa's hands....

An amazing handmade book by Stephanie Lee ~

So much goodness is shared here on the internet...

I have tons more but will end here ~

Are you inspired yet???

Wishing you a beautiful weekend precious friends ~

hugs and love,

Dawn

Lagging behind...just a bit ~

I am.

Lagging that is.

Lagging behind with my little creative muse.

Lagging behind with most everything around here.

You're lucky to have clean clothes.

I mean it.

It seems the minute school's out,

I want to RELAX.....

Sleep in...stay up late watching goofy TV...

and even at 50 yrs. old

I still want to

WELCOME

Summer!!!!

I've not been very busy this week

but hope to get going soon!!!

I just keep walking through the studio

staring at all the goodness,

but that's it.

Soon.

Real soon.

I'll get back to it.

It's in me and I can't help it.

Have a wonderful Thursday dear friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

Welcome Summer!

And we sure did!!!!

We had several family get-togethers this past weekend

and have had so much fun!

So what have I been up to?

Just being with them ~

Sweet Clara...swimming for hours and hours like a little fish...

Noah and Clara enjoying the cool water together

at Uncle Mark and Aunt Susan's house ~

David, Chase and Noah enjoying the deck and grillin' out.

Brad, David and Chase's pool ~ we had a blast!

Our oldest, Brent, smokin' some AMAZING ribs for the entire family....

and we're talking a MASSIVE amount of ribs!

Noah looks mad but he wasn't...just enjoying the pool ~

One last photo to share with you, sweet Clara.

Her mama took this pic last week and I just love it ~

I have a special request sweet friends...

Lisa's little 3 yr. old niece, Gracie,

had an terrible accident this past weekend.

She suffered severe burns from falling into campfire with hot coals.

Gracie is having surgery this morning at 8:00 am for skin grafts.

My request?

Your precious prayers for wise doctors,

relief from pain and swift healing for this

tiny little girl.

Thank you so, so much.

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday dear friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn
