Art Studio_Before Renovations

See! Short term memory shows again!

I forgot to post my before and during pictures of my Art Studio Renovations.

Below you will see the before pictures. And, I'm so embarrased of it as it was

used for storage, an office, a "stick everything here" room.

Have a good laugh! I'll post "During Rennovation" Pictures in a bit.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs!

What's On Your Work Desk Wednesday?

Hi folks!
I haven't been around much at all. Busy, busy, busy! Besides being busy, I actually, honestly, forgot about posting for Julia's Work Desk Wednesdays. I am so, so sorry. As I submitted a post yesterday, that's when I remembered about WOYWW. tee hee.... Short term memory loss has been occurring with my medical condition, so we are watching it very carefully and documenting it.

To join in on Julia's weekly wednesday fun, just jump on over to her blog at:
http://www.stamping-ground.blogspot.com/


In other important news, I have contracted my scrubby to help create an art studio for me. Our goal was to re-do our office into a studio without spending very much money. Sounds like there is no way to do it, huh? Well think again. My scrubby was doubtful at first, but, so far, the only dollar amount we have spent is $32.00 for paint. Everything else we had.Take a look at some before and during shots as my scrubby and I work on my Art Studio. I am planning to post the final pictures and video when completion is done.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Enjoy your Wednesday and the rest of your week!

Ohhh! Wait! Wrong Picture! 

But, I just had to throw it in.

This little powder blue vulcan has Debba written all over it.

As a modest Motorcyclist, my son asked me to accompany him in search of

purchasing a motorcycle to use as transportation.

 I came across... no!  No! I was immediately mesmerized as I spotted her awaiting her

prey through and past all the hundreds of motorcycles that were each waiting to do the same.

To lure their prey. To get that individual closer, then capture the riders senses.

 She was displayed clear across the other side of the floor room.

 I knew I was going to be in trouble the moment I walked through the doors of

"Ridenow Powersports" in Las Vegas, NV

and found the love of my life

(not really,as my scrubby can not ever be replaced).

This is a gorgeous motorcycle. Absolutely GORGEOUS!

I defeated her in the battle! I would have to walk away from

that immaculate body. Her new smell. The zero miles on

the odometer. I even conquered the thought of taking her home with me.

I conquered her lure....

.... as I was unable to convince my 20 year-old to purchase

a cruiser instead of a Yamaha FZ6!

I had won her hypmotizing presence. Which, was

the most terrible, disguisting, horrid thing I ever accomplished or won!

"Someday", I told her....." I'll be back. And it will be you to fall in my trap!"

Enjoy!

Thought I'd Share "My Bucket List" Pictures

I decided to start making videos of some of the projects I have been working on.

This year is already flying by and I have so much to do, but don't know where to start?
Here is a 3 page Moley spread I have done for Gmss over at ATCsforall.com in Our Moley Exchange Group. Gmss theme is "Dark Fairytales" from Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson. I have decided to do Hansel and Grettal. It was actually a fun layout to do. I do love art!
This will be a short and sweet message, as I have to get back to work.

What's On Your Work desk Wednesday

Ohhh my apologies to my followers. I have not posted since the 28th of February. We (hubby and I) have been extremely busy the past few weeks.
With some sad news, my cockatail Charlie passed away Monday evening. I am heart broken as I no longer hear his chrup and fluttering. Kora, my german shepard, seems lost too, as Charlie would tease her daily and Kora has tried several times to get in the cage with him! No, not to eat him, but to play. Charlie would just taunt her throughout the day. It was funny to see and I am already missing him. The corner of the livingroom where he resided is now empty and seems out of place. I better change the subject before I get emotional again. He will be extremely missed.

At home, we have one of our Sons preparing to participate in his first Big HUGE Ameteur MMA Fight this Saturday here at the New Orleans Arena here in Vegas. You can check the event out at http://www.tuffnuff.com/ and then clicking the tab at the top of upcoming events. He is excited, but nervous. He has been practicing very hard. Training very hard, eating really healthly foods. I am very proud of him. We are very proud of him to accomplish such a goal for himself. He trains at WANDS gym here in Vegas.  He loves his coaches, and trainers.

We are still in an adventure with my health issues. It's been a bumpy ride with still few results. It starts to take a toll on you physically, and mentally. Sometimes a drag, but my hubby and I will keep moving forward so we can figure everything out.

I hope you all have a great week. May your health be strong, your creativeness bulging to the seams and your love to embrace anything that comes your way!
Until next time, HUGS!

Gothic Door Book Cover- Fiona's Challenge

A friend of mine was hosting a Challenge over at YouTube. Fiona's channel is Jennings644. Check it out! You will absolutely love all of her videos that she has created. She is absolutely talented. Well, anyway, I completed my door last night, but had massive camera uploading issues. I finally gave up at 2am.

About my gothic door: It is 7.5X11". I used a dark brown cardstock to create my arch. Then cut out 1/2" strips of black paper and secured them to the brown paper. I have used recollection brads, 7 gypsie hinges, all roses are from wildorchidcrafts.com and the greenery is from Michaels floral section. The silver chipboard pieces are from Basic Gray and all I did was cut them to how I wanted and then painted them with Pilot Silver Marker. The door knocker is a ceramic face with added silver colored paper and an old binding ring handle I have had for years. It was absolutely fun to create and Thank you Fiona for a great Challenge. I hope you will enjoy these pictures and I hope to have you stop by more often.
Here are a few pictures of my creation.

My Gothic Door is 7.5x11"

What's On Your WorkDesk Wednesday?

On My Work desk is the completion of my Entry into a great competition. It was such a fun and colorful paper collection from Tim Coffey, who is with K&Company.
(Okay, I had to delete my photos of this as we can not post it until after the competition. So I will show you the rest of what is on my desk.)
I have been so busy with doctor appointments this past two weeks, I have missed the last couple of What's On Your Work Desk Wednesday. So, I hope to finish up a Moley layout, four cards for a frog swap and another altered item that for some reason my mojo has temporary hidden somewhere this week.

I am posting a picture of a beautiful cameo that I am thinking about purchasing for a future scrapbook or altered project.

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!

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.

Thank you again so much for stopping by. I just started a YouTube Channel for some "how to" short videos on projects and ideas. 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!

Have a Fabulous Wednesday and I hope you will stop on by more often. I promise to get better in my posts.
Hugs!

Diamond Plated Manly Man Mini Mailbox for Valentine's Day.

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

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.

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!
