my first love...Epiphanie Camera Bag giveaway

sometimes i get so carried away with my mixed media art that i forget that my photography was my first "art" love. me and my camera were never apart. i took her on walks. i took her with me in the car. i took her on family outings. she went everywhere with me. i still love my camera and i still take her everywhere with me. that's why i entered the "I entered the Epiphanie Camera Bags + Zenfolio Picture It photo contest! http://bit.ly/Ix1mXq."  maybe now she will go along with me in style! 

here is one of the first pictures that i took with my DSLR camera that i really liked. it had rained and my grandson, Harrison, wanted to go outside and play.

this was taken in April 2009. many more pictures and memories have been captured since then.

follow the links above and play along. good luck!

 

a little art and some container gardening

i took, or should say, i'm taking a class offered by Christy Tomlinson given by Junelle Hallstrom Jacobsen (you'll love her blog) and Christy herself. it was a three week class, but will be up for a whole year. if they offer this, or anything like it again and you are thinking of taking an on-line art class, this is the one! i'm loving it. i'm just taking my time and really getting all i can out of it.  and if you don't want to wait, Christy is also offering another class called Your Living Canvas that is open for enrollment now at a special price until April 15th. 

here are  two art journaling page i did for The Art of Wild Abandonment. this was my first time using only watercolors. it was so fun and a little easier than i thought it would be.

i also  found this cute idea on Pinterest and i wanted to share it with you. i hope you'll hope over to the  SomeDay Crafts blog and check it out. i love this idea and the banner and butterfly plant stakes are too adorable. herbs or small flowers will be so fun to grow in these. i think i'll grow both!

i hope everyone has a very happy and safe Easter!
