With you in mind . . .

Did you know that I go junkin' (a.k.a. shopping) with you in mind?

I'm always looking for wonderful images
that you can use in your artwork....
maybe even print and frame to simply just enjoy!!!

I tried to clean this photograph up a little, but I'm not a pro at Photoshop....
Doesn't she have ATTITUDE???
I just LOVE it!!

hugs and love,

Recycling can be a creative thing ~

That's really how I feel too ~ maybe that's what I should call what I love doing ~ Creative Recycling!

Sunday afternoon I was able to steal away and do a little treasure hunting by myself. Which is always a good thing because I'm as slow as molasses in the winter. I'm too afraid I'm going to miss something. I started outside in the parking lot of Peachtree Peddler's Flea Market & Antique Mall . . . there's always folks set up selling what they don't want in their homes anymore. I'm constantly looking for shadowboxes and this one was a great find ~ I'll be ripping off the back and removing the lovely vases of flowers and add a few nests, eggs and bird ephemera!

Another baby dress, I know, I know, I need baby dress therapy but I promise I'm still thinking of something to do to these lovelies . . . and of course, the little shoes, I couldn't leave them could I? These were found inside in the antique mall and I tell you I dig for my goodies and make sure the prices are great.

Now these aren't old but I found them at Michael's and am wanting to place them inside something that I have in mind to make ~ kind of like weights?

And this precious photo, just look at this couple, they look like teenagers! So sweet ~

Oh and of course a music book. I think something had been gnawing on it at some time but I don't care, these little music sheets will have a new life now.

Just one more shot of the baby shoes, I'm not sure of the material, maybe wool?

Well, do you want to know the grand total of what I spent???

15.00

Recycling is GOOD.....

Have a great Monday!!!

xxoo, Dawn

Sweet Isabel ~

I scanned this precious little one in for you ~ just look at her name! Isabel. I think it's beautiful. Click to enlarge then right click to save to your computer.

Can you believe it's Friday already?? The weeks are just flying by and school is soon to be out for summer. I'm always amazed how fast these school years go now. Didn't it seem like we were in school for an eternity when summer finally arrived? Guess it's just me getting older ~

Thank you all so much for your kind comments and sweet words about my new artwork. You all really know how to build a girl up!! Creativity is certainly fed by such wonderful encouragement. I'm hoping you have a great Friday . . .

xxoo, Dawn
