Completion of 3 Page Moley Spread for Grrdjules!

I have finally finished Grrdjules 3 panel spread in her traveling Moley. Jules selected "They Draw & Cook" theme based on the actual website at http://www.theydrawandcook.com/ that Nate and Salli created. Absolutely a fun and enjoyable site of recipes and drawings all combined together.

I created my 3 page panel with one of my favorite Soups. My mom's Cheese Soup. This is definately a family recipe and brings up alot of memories about my mom. I hope that Jules will like it. So, drummmm rollll pppleease..teehee

The recipe is on the Moley pages and my three little cooks are securely attached to flip down so that Jules can see the actual recipe! Crazy idea! But it turned out better than I imagined. Leave me a comment or two.
Now, off I go the post office to get Jules moley sent to the next artist!
Have a wonderful Thursday and a Fabulous week! Hugs!

Happy Happy Wednesday To You My Friends! WOYWW

Happy Happy Wednesday To You My Friends! Happy days ahead will come. If I could make a wish for you, I would wish a Happy Happy Day to you!

This is what I have been working on. It's an altered Birdcage. It will be for sale. It is in Paris Theme as two hat boxes are in the center of the birdcage tied with sheer wire black ribbon. I have used pink, white and black flowers to decorate it and have woven lights through out the cage. I have 2 more in the makings and some fun other things that I have also been working on. I don't want to give too much away right now, so you'll have to stay tuned.

Now, for the other stuff that's on my desk this week, isn't as exciting as the Birdcage. Our Taxes. Nothing more exciting then that, right?

Oh! If you would like to particpate in WOYWW and join in on the fun and jump around to other blogs who are also participaiting, hop on over to:

Stumbled Upon The Most Absolutely Fabulous Blog, EVER!!!

This morning as I was searching through all the "Grimms" Fairy Tale stories, I came upon a Blog that I must share with you.

I don't declare myself to be a top notch avid writer, or avid artist, or avid reader, or avid crafter, and/or singer. But, upon pausing for just what I thought to be just a moment, turned into over 4.5  hours of reading, viewing, admiring, jaw dropping, interesting, intriging, and the most well put-to-gether Blog.

This Blog belongs to Heidi Anne Heiner (found here: http://surlalunefairytales.blogspot.com/ has done incrediable reading, research, writing, explaining anything and everything about Fairy Tales.

I copied a sentence off her Blog, which is absolutely true! Heidi states,"The SurLaLune Blog is the best place to read the most up-to-date fairy tale news, from new releases to other events and items of interest."


I totally recommend visiting Heidi's Blog at:  http://surlalunefairytales.blogspot.com/ . Your brief visit will lead you to "follow blog" as it is extremely one full of knowledge, opinions, brief summaries, and beautiful
art-work renditions of Book Covers.

I know if you take a brief  moment at admiring Heidi's Blog, that brief moment will turn into hours. I know that I will be following and will definately be visiting her blog from now on.

Again, here is her Blog link: http://surlalunefairytales.blogspot.com/

I hope you find it enjoyable and delightful as much as I did. And, kudos to Heidi Ann for an outstanding informative, inspiring blog.
Hugs!

What's on your Workdesk Wednesday?

Well, on my workdesk this week are a few items. I just finished decorating my hubbys diamond steel manly man mailbox for Valentine's Day and a few scrapbook projects. Last Wednesday, my day got completely past me with Doctor apointments all week long. I didn't get too much of a break. This morning as the house is waking up to the Sunrise in Vegas, it is cold. Cold for Vegas, of course! Right now it's 25 degrees and the high for today is supposed to be 45. My bones ache from the cold. I'm a tin man who needs warmth  to loosen up my bones and joints. That is sad for a 40 year old, huh? I am one that goes to bed early and tries to wake up early. I did say,"try to get up early". Some days I'm up at 6 and others by 7am. My aching hands and fingers don't thrill at me typing on the computer. They are begging me to stop moving and want to turn rigid cold like sitting at an old piano with my fingers just barely over the keys frozen in time. Hopefully by 10 o'clock they will stop hurting and relax a bit. As I am typing this quick note, it is taking me a lot longer to type with short breaks in between thoughts and comments to the pain and stiffness in my fingers. If this is what "getting old" means, then I would like to wait for a bit, if time permits me?
I am so grateful for my small group of friends who follow my blog. I am grateful for you taking the time to read my posts and look at some pictures. I appreciate you leaving comments. It helps me to keep being creative and share bits and pieces about me to you in hopes that someday I will have helped someone. Given some inspiration or atleast be remembered at some moment in  time through your busy life.
Thank you again for following my blog, leaving comments, and asking questions. It truly helps me and is a blessing.

Oh, before I forget, if you would like to particpate in WOYWW and join in on the fun and jump around to other blogs who are also participaiting, hop on over to:  http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/  and join Julia and her 2011 WOYWW adventures.

So, if you would like to jump over to My Channel just click here http://www.youtube.com/peots3ps  and you will be directed right to it. Again, I just started the channel and am learning about production and posting of videos and such, so any suggestions or help would absolutely be Wonderful!

A Glimpse of what I am currently working on this week

Did I miss last week or what?

Hi friends!
Last week went by so fast for me! Due to Doctor appointments I really didn't have time to do anything!
My hubby decided Friday afternoon that we should go up to BrianHead Ski Resort located in Utah just about 3 hours from Vegas. They were having a great deal! Lift pass, snowboard & boot rental and an hour and a half snowboarding class. My son and his best friend Lauren, my hubby and I left for the ski resort early in the morning (I am NOT a morning person).  We got everyone set up ready to go and off they all went to try snowboarding and leaving MOM to hang out in the semi-small lodge. This was actually the first time I felt left out. But, due to having extensive back surgery, there was no way I was going to let boo-koo-bucks of titanum steel go down the drain. (Pouting Moment)
Like I said, this was the first time I ever felt left out since having my back surgery. I am an avid tomboy and love all sports. I have never snowboarded before and wish I could of participated with part of my family for this fun outing.
The weather was just perfect and Brianhead is a pretty big resort. We decided that we would stay at Navajo Lodge ski/snowboarding/tubing division of Brianhead. If you want to check it out, click on  http://www.brianhead.com/ . For just over 4 hours of snowboarding, my hubby (who hasnt skied since 1998) decided that his body could just not hack snowboarding anymore! TeeHee Now, for the record, I reminded Billy numerous times prior to him grabbing a seat on the lift. He's not 21 anymore and he has changed quite a bit! lol  He was practically born at the ski resorts. He learned to ski at the age of 4 by a father who enjoyed skiing too and would take Billy once a week. My hubby is/was an excellent skier back in his younger years. Okay, I think I rambled enough for this post, but I will post some pictures of these fabulous, talented, awesome, undefeatable snow boarders! teehee ha ha ha
Enjoy these few pics (3) and I hope you will stop back by Peots3Ps again!
Hugs!

Look at this sky. Absolutely a fabulous day at the slopes

WOOYWW~ I love all the days that end in Y, especially Wednesday!

Hi there!

Happy Wednesday! waaahhhooooo!

I'm just so excited that today is Wednesday and I can share with you a bit of this and that!

This week has been a bit different from my normal routine. Yesterday I spent almost 6 hours working on installing some software on 2 of our 3 computers. So, needless to say, I have a lot of work to get caught up on.

This morning I am working on the completetion of a Mini Journal. I also just completed a desk calendar for my hubby and it turned out pretty cute.

As I mentioned in a previous post, that I am going to "Pay It Forward" for the Year and I was thrilled to send a RAK to a great young man, who is 15, and just passionate about what he does. He has a talented, creative mind and he will go far in life. His name is Drew and you can check his blog out at http://www.scrappyhappiness.com/. He doesn't know me from Adam, but I sent him 2 large boxes full of scrap paper, stamps, stickers, ribbon and more. It's a great feeling to "Pay It Forward" to anyone. You just really never know how and what you do can affect someone somehow.

Below are a few picutres of what is on my desk today.Remember, If you want to participate in WOYWW, just jump on over to http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/   I hope you all have a marvelous week and I hope that you will stop by more often. Thank you to my few followers I have. I so appreciate it. Thank you!

With that, I'll let you browse around. Have a great Wednesday!

Hugs!



What's On Your Work Desk Wednesday?

This morning, I am going to be working on (trying to make) a mini scrapbook. I have decided to make one because:
1. I have never made one before.
2. I have watched YouTube videos that were uploaded from some very talented girls and they all looked so wonderful. I asked myself why not?
3. I needed to do something with my Basic Grey Eva Collection paper and goodies.
4. I need to be better in journaling. My goal this year is to document every day this year.

The second item that is on my work desk is my completed Gypsy Moley three page spread for Camcas's Travling Moley Journal and will be sending it off to the next artist. Her theme was vagrant Gypsy. Such a fun, great and educational theme. I hope she enjoys it.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you will come back often and visit.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season.

A few of my Angel ATCs

These cute little angels were completed using only the Prismacolor "Deco" Colors except for the purple and green in which I used spearmint and violet mist. I then stamped some cute little images on their dresses using inkadinkado and stampin' up and recollections mini stamps I had on hand.

They turned out pretty cute, I think! Take a peek! Hugs!



What's On Your Work Desk Wednesday! December 29, 2010

Well, I will be changing around my blog for the first of the year so that you can stop by and leave comments and give me encouragement.
Today is the last Wednesday of 2010. It has been a rollercoaster year for us. We are hoping the 2011 will be fantastic and we can sweep some of our concerns away.
Currently we have several doctors reviewing my health as some critical issues have come in to play, but all the Doctors aren't agreeing. Can we say "cat fight"? 

I want to thank my fourteen followers I have! You so made my year! Thank you for being kind and following along my rough journey.

Today on this Wednesday, I am working on a painting for my sons friend (Belated Christmas Present). Dustin painted this great background of  Loren's favorite colors and I am finishing up on Betty Boop for him and then will complete the painting for him to give to her.

I am wishing you all a fabulous New Year! Wishing you love, kindess, happiness and good health.
Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you next year!
Hugs!

Out Of This World Fabulous, Wonderful Find

This weekend, I went to see my favorite ultimate fabulous hairstylist Johnny at Euphoria in Henderson, Nevada! Maybe twice a year I get to splurge and spend a few bucks on me and since it's close to the holidays, it was my day!
Well, to make a long story short, there is a talented woman who makes and finds the most creative clips, necklaces, bracelets, and knick-knacks and sells them in the lounge of Euphoria (I'll find her information and post it here later).
Well as I was leaving my eyes caught the most fantastic item just waiting for me to grab it up and buy it! I have been looking for one of these items for almost a year now, going here and there and on the web searching for just the perfect one I wanted. Needless to say, this item is fantastic and I'm so thrilled to have found it with a quick glance at her new stuff! I can't beleive no one had grabbed it, but here is my totally awesome, fabulous, adorable find.......

I love the detail, design, style, color of this "Steampunk" pocket watch. I'm just tickled with it and can't wait to wear it, or create with it! I just am so happy! Thanks for stopping by today! Hugs!

Today I made a 5x7 piece of art for LaFaver55 (Charisse) over at ATCsforall.com
Charisse gave three options of things that make her happy. So, I grabbed her request post. She had "Bird" as one of the items in her selections for the MMH PIF which stands for "Make Me Happy, Play it forward".

I used the following to create Charisse's Birds:
Coldpress watercolor blank postcard
Prisma Markers
Sakura Gel Pens
Ink
Flower and rhinestone embellishments
Velcro (The birds are attached with Velcro and are interchangeable)

Kitchen scented by Apple Cinnamon Bread Today!

Oh my Gosh! I'm not sure how else to put it, but today I made Mary's Super Easy and Delicious Applesauce Cinnamon Bread. The kitchen has smelled deliciously of this scent all day long. I was in the baking mood during dry time of a few paintings and projects that I have been working on today, so I grabbed Mary's recipe card that she made especially for me. I put on my apron (not really, but it did sound good), and gathered all the ingredients, my only Mixing Bowl I own and went-a-cooking!

These pictures just don't do it justice, but the bread absolutely turned out marvelous and cooked to perfection. So thank you Mary for a fabulous Easy Bread Recipe. Lots of Hugs!!

If you would like me to send you this fabulous Easy Apple Cinnamon Bread just shoot me an email.

Aren't Hubby's Just Wonderful?

I am so thrilled and blessed to have a great man as my husband. He thinks about me out of the blue. I was going to say all the time, but that would be a lie! hee hee

My sweet, sweet, dear hubby bought me a cabinet for my Dining Room (which is currently my art studio) and it's just perfect! My old one that I was using finally had its moment as the draw faces came off two of the drawers and was so beat up. He was surprised I could keep anything in them. Once my studio is complete, I can leave this cabinet to hold my china and crystal and it matches all my decor of the kitchen/dinning room. I'm so tickled. With that, here is a picture of it all set up and ready for use.

Lisa's Moley~ Her Theme is Time

I have completed my portion of Lisa's "Time" Moley. I used Marker, Pencil, and Ink.
Here it is.

Kinda "Steampunk" Heart Ornament??

I created this heart ornament (which is kinda steampunk) for WildHolly. She lists the most awesome things to create, so I thought I would try it for her.

Pocket Watch for WildHolly

Here is a little pocket watch for Wildholly over at ATCsforall.com for the MMH PIF Thread. In this thread we can use any and all mediums we want to, so one of Holly's choices was a pocket watch. Hope she likes it cuz it's already in the mail. maawwwhhhhhh! Hugs!

Wicked Cauldron Cream

Here is the final beauty cream jar that I made for WildHolly. I think it turned out okay. I still might tweek it a bit!

Totally Wicked Cauldron Cream Label & Jar

Today I have been making a "Cream" Label for my friend Holly. So, I decided to do

one and not only that, but create a jar of witch cream too! I'm still working on this

project, but here is a sneak of the label so far. Beware, sometimes I'm a little "off"

on my creations! MmaaaaaawwwW! (Halloween Witch Laugh?)

My First Chunky Swap ~ Halloween

Here are my completed 4 chunkies for the Halloween Chunky Swap over at ATCsforAll.com

I am hoping that they are acceptable and that the other players will enjoy adding them to their chunky collections.

The Household Awakes Early Today!

Charlie!
Awoke to hearing him attacking his cube bells furociously this morning, in which got the dogs riled up!

Kora! The Mean-Bark-Run-And-Hide German Shepard.

Tucker! The 130 lb. chocolate lab who's bark is just an Act!
 But because of his size, No One Messes with him, except Kora!

So needless to say, a cup of coffee, a lock on the back door,

tennis balls and chew toys all have helped me to

enjoy the sunrise this Tuesday Morning! Hugs!

Giraffe for Cardmama for the MMH PIF over at ATCsforall.com

This is Gretta the Giraffe for the Whimsical Make Me Happy Play It Forward Thread on ATCsforall.com
I hope Cardmama loves it!

Mermaid Hobby~ Wood Burning Image on a wooden box

I enrolled in Suzzi Blu's Mermaid Class on line to see if I could calm my mermaid drawings down a bit and to learn some new styles and techniques. One of the projects was to wood burn a mermaid onto a wooden box. I DO NOT recommend buying the Darice Value Pack (Wood Box Set of 2) that is ready to paint and decorate from Michaels. I noticed that the boxes are made from several different types of wood and knew that this would be a challenge to wood burn on. It was! Because of the grains of the different wood, the wood burning tool did not go over some of the wood smoothly causing severe burn spots, indentations and most of the time bumpy (very bumpy) burn lines.
As you can see from my image, it is not smooth. I became very frustrated while wood burning. I finally gave up and did not burn anything else into the box and just went ahead and painted the box with water downed acryllics and prismacolor pencils.
This Mermaid will definately be redone on a different box with proper wood to use for smooth, clean wood burning. (Meaning, I'm going to do some research and find the best recommended wood to use the fabulous wood burning tool.)
Hugs!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail Dream Interruptation?

One of my ultimate favorite movies EVER! Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I Had a dream about it last night and woke up about 3 am laughing. I then went to the store this morning and BEHOLD, there it was right in front of me! I just had to buy it!
