Welcome to My Blog!

Welcome to my lil' blog...

Tomorrow's Treasures Today

I am so pleased to have you join us for this event...

 

 

The "Grow Your Blog" Blog Hop Party is designed to

bring more visitors to each participant's blog.
To meet new friends...and fellow artists/creatists.
 

It is hosted by Vicki of 2 Bags Full

Please visit her blog for the list of almost 400 participants!

 

So let me tell you a bit about myself and my blog...

the who? what? when? where? and why?

 

 

I am a quilter!  I designed and taught this quilt as a camp project.

 

I am a mixed media artist!  I created this at a Tim Holtz class.

 

 

I am a paper artist!  I made this mini-journal for my honey at Valentine's.

 

 

I am a cross-stitcher!  I stitched this to remind myself to "Age Artfully".

 

I am a jewelry maker!  I made this necklace for my sweet sister.

   

I began my blog in August 2009.

I had just returned home from a fun event - 

Creative Escape - in Chandler, AZ.

I had heard so many women talking about their blogs

and I had no idea what they were even talking about!

 

My first post didn't even have any pictures in it.  :}

I had no idea how to upload them,

but I was determined to have a blog by golly!

 

I am first and foremost a quilter, cross-sticher, and crocheter,

but I had just ventured into the world of paper arts.
So that was what lead me to Creative Escape.

 

My mother had passed away the year before

after many torturous years of Alzheimer's.
It was like she spoke to me that summer - saying:
"Go!  Meet others like yourself.  Dare to Dream!"

She was and still is my inspiration to create.

She was an artist - a woman born before her time!

 She loved snowflakes.
 

So it is in memory of my marvelous mother that I am

giving away a little handmade snowflake mini-journal!

(Sorry...I didn't have it completed before this event to have a photo.)

Drawing will be held February 1st.

 

Thank you for stopping by my blog.

If you would be so kind as to be a follower I'd be so happy!  :)

 

blessings, denise  :D
