I was 53 in June. I feel like I'm 30. I live in Cold Cold Wisconsin. But, I love it here.. I found fabric and quilting about 8 years ago.. I fell in love with it.. I also enjoy paper art.. I'm not sure how I kept my sanity before I started doing art. I found rubber stamps about 10 years ago and have gone on to anything and everything.. I have been blessed with creative talents and love to express myself in art. I have 2 children .. one girl who is 15 and a boy who is 17. My husband and I love to hunt,canoe and just enjoy the outdoors together..
We all love the outdoors and go up to northern Wisconsin as often as possible.
I'm a 14 year breast cancer survivor.. you can view more of my art at

I had a great time working on art yesterday.. It seems like ages ago when I had time to do any... I worked on a vintage animal deco and a true colors.. my color was green. I couldn't resist putting Kermit on a tag.
I have been so busy trying to get my flower garden looking nice. So my artwork has been put on hold for awhile. So I thought I would share some photos of my flowers and my garden angel.
I took a walk in the field up north last weekend. It was a beautiful day and the flowers were incredible. I picked a few to bring home so I could take a picture of them. I would like to make a quilt and applique the different flowers on it. 2 weeks ago the Trilliums were in full bloom and they were gorgeous. I didn't have my camera that weekend.
My sister, Patti and I did some fabric dying this weekend.. You can see more of the process here... http://pattis-creations.blogspot.com/ But, this is what I ended up with...The whole process went pretty well having 3 people.. I didn't think it was too bad... I would do it again.. Next time I want to try Ricky Tims method...
We all used the same image in Heathers deco.. It is really neat to see what each gal did with this photo. I had fun with this. I used a technique that I use for altering actual photos.. Sanding the photo and using watercolor paints and then I added decorative papers and whatnot...
