VALENTINE

SPECIAL EDITION 

 Because it is Valentine' Day I wanted to share a special event I attended on the 7th.

It was a Valentine-athon hosted by Gail Rieke and inspired me to make and post 59 handmade Valentine's.

Gail's home was filled with gifted, spirited, and uniquely creative women...each with their own take on Valentine's Day.  Gail has collected and created Valentine's for years...she has suitcases full and displayed them for all to enjoy.

Join me here with some photos of the event and followed my a few of my own Valentines.

So, dear Valentine's wherever you are, start your own Valentine-athon next year.  That's my intent!!!

I close with a 'cheeky' take!

Back in March.

LIVING THE ARTFUL LIFE

 February, 2015

At long last I have returned to present my blog again.  Also, my creativity has returned.  There was a period that I thought I had lost it.  Life presents us with many forks in the road and the last year and a half I have taken many different forks.

The following are some of the pieces that I have completed and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did creating them.

There's more but I will wait until March to share those!

Happy Valentine's Day!  Gayle
