a little more done...

The latest:

Beginning:

You can see I added the phrase, "We can all travel down the path of our dreams". It is from a quote of mine on one of my sterling bracelets, which I changed a bit for this collage. I painted more color also, can you see the difference? Somehow I still have an empty space in the middle!! I was thinking of a mirror, or is that too weird??
I am going to do more stamping up the left side and some around the sun. I need to get it finished so I can get my kitchen table back!!

Having a little fun playing today

I thought I would try a collage type mixed media painting 'sort of thing'. I am so inspired looking at my friends collage art over on FaceBook that I decided to try one today. It is just the beginning, I still have to do a lot of embellishment around the edges, but I have this giant space in the middle (how did that happen?) and I thought I would ask for ideas from all of you. I just wanted to have fun and I did have BIG fun doing this, but I would also like to finish it with something good. :)

New Crazy Bloggers club!

It's not even on the website yet it is so new, and I have already been getting so many people who want to wear this little sterling "Bone" charm, that I thought I would start a club!

Had to share this--Touching & Funny!!

HOMELESS MAN'S FUNERAL...To good to keep to myself, have to pass it on.

As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Kentucky back country.

As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions. I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was no-where in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch.

I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.

The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I've never played before for this homeless man. And as I played 'Amazing Grace,' the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full.

As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

Apparently, I was still lost

Cupcakes are here!!!

I finally have some finished! They turned out so nice. Very layered 3-D with the frosting, sprinkles, and hearts. So cute, but I only have a few and they are not even on the website yet, so if you wanting one of these cuties, email me quickly.
I probably should have waited till I got a better picture, but I just had to show you. I love them. Wouldn't your daughter love having one of these to wear. Or maybe you should wear it for her!!

Am I crazy!? I tried out for a play this morning!!

I can't quite believe it myself. I started taking acting classes a couple months ago and our teacher who is a retired acting coach from southern california is directing a new play, and I actually got up the nerve to go and "read"!! The whole experience is so interesting, from all the things to learn about how to act, (and not be "acting") to how try-outs are done. We are supposed to find out tonight who gets parts and which ones. I don't care, I don't need to be in the play, not even sure if I want to be, I just wanted to experience the 'readings' with other people who were trying-out and soak in the new experience.

See, I am really quite shy, and I thought this whole thing would be good for me to expand my boundaries and do something that was a bit uncomfortable. I had no idea that it would be so much FUN!
