Wallace

This is Wallace, one of my two Golden Retrievers.  He is a very sweet dog but is as thick as a brick.  He drives me crazy but I do love him.  He loves being outside in any kind of weather.  I was watching him eating this stick in this gorgeous pile of leaves today and had to snap a few.  Enjoy!

Holiday Giveaway!

OK, I am a newbie when it comes to blogging but I am realizing that it is a lot of fun.  My first experience was winning the Paris giveaway from blissfarmantiques (many thanks, Jackie). I think one good turn deserves another so I would like to offer a holiday giveaway.  Please leave a comment and introduce yourself and mention the giveaway on your blog (if you have one) for a chance to receive two collage ornaments.  Each ornament is unique but similar in feeling to the picture.  You have until midnight on Wed. Nov. 17th

Terrariums



Do you remember making terrariums as a child?  It seemed to be very popular in the 70's.  Well they are back!  This past year my middle son was going to school for landscape design and broke his leg.  He started making terrariums to sell at a local flea market to earn some money since standing and working wasn't an option.  After watching him I was hooked and continued to make them after he moved to CO.  There is a wonderful book called  "The New Terrarium" by Tovah Martin. It is a great resource.  Wonderful photography.  Decorate your home with them or give them as gifts. 

Reader's Digest

I recently came across loads of Reader's Digest books at my local thrift shop.  I took off the covers and used them as the backround for several collages.  Hope you like them!
