Living In the Moment

Last evening I found yet another editing program while watching television. I was playing with different features with a photo I took of my cat, Thompson. This effect really spoke to me. It was so different and so unique I wanted to share it with all of you. It reminded me of a scene you might see in a movie like "Narnia" ... Take time to appreciate what is around you today!

I was going through some vacation pictures last evening and I came across this red island flower - I thought it would be fun to texturize it to see the detail more - I am sure you have realized by now that I enjoy "playing" - The art of creating, changing things up, to see the outcome ... Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend ahead!

These are bookmarks I have been making - They just need some yarn to be pulled through the tops to make them complete - I have also been making some handmade cards that I will post tomorrow. I was thinking of placing some of my poetry inside the cards ... Just a thought ... Personalize them a bit ... What is your next project?

Living In the Moment: Buttons Galore ... : "I thought I would share a bit of my creative side today - This was a cigar box that I painted and added decorative buttons to - I am unsure..."

I thought I would share a bit of my creative side today - This was a cigar box that I painted and added decorative buttons to - I am unsure what I am going to use this for - But a good friend of mine told me I should start sharing my projects on my blog - So, Thank you for that encouragement, My Dear Friend - What have you created lately that you are not sure what you are going to use it for? Where you are going to place it in your home? Or who you are going to give it to?

I am hoping this post finds everyone happy and healthy after a delightful 4th of July ~ I wanted to share my new adventure in Zentangle artwork (work in progress, as you can tell ...) ~ If anyone loves this art form please enlighten me, this is my first attempt and I have to admit, I am having fun ... Anyone else love the art of doodling?

Happy 4th of July, Everyone - It is truly Summer here in New England - Wishing all of you a safe and fun holiday! I wish I could say I took this photo, but I did not. I found it online and fell in love with it - Perfect for today's post!
