Sweet Talented Artist
Terri from Dimples and Dragonflies is a sweet talented artist who everyday amazes me with her artwork.
After a 15 year career in nursing, Terri decided to pursue her life-long passion of wanting to learn to paint. She completed undergraduate studies at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta, Georgia.
You can visit her ETSY store Here.
Her artwork is just amazing, here is just a sample of what she can do.....
From her new teacup series, love these!
When you visit her blog, it's sure to warm your heart and make you smile. She has an amazing spirit and kindness that shines through her artwork and her posts.

SYTYCD Week 2-Monogram Stand
We were to be inspired by something we might see in a particular catalog, I did not want to do a copycat version of one particular item, but I believe I could see a monogram stand like this in their store.

Waterslide Decals
Some of you asked how I made my Paris print
so I thought I would share this great product with you.
Lazertran is a product made in the UK, they have many different types of products but the one I've tried and really like is the
waterslide decal for inkjet printers

All you do is print your image onto the decal paper using your inkjet printer, let the ink set and soak in water. The decal can be added to glass, wood, tile, canvas, etc.
The product isn't cheap but I've found the best price is here.
Happy crafting!

Road Trip!
I’m so excited, I’m headed to Mt.Dora, Florida this weekend for the Antiques Extravaganza.
I’ve never been before so I hope to find some goodies!!! It's a little less than a 4 hour drive so we're leaving at 4:00 in the morning (yuk!!) to get there around 8. Oh the things we do to find neat treasures and hopefully a good bargain.

Paris Print
This is my new Paris print that I've transferred onto an 8x10 artist canvas. I digitally altered and added graphics to a vintage ornament frame. I then aged and distressed it to look really old.

Valentines Heart
Draw a circle, not a heart, around the one you love because a heart can break but a circle goes on forever.
