Layering Mixed Media Papers

I got a question the other day about how to layer papers when it comes to mixed media. Of course, I’m new to all this and still experimenting, but I’ll tell you how I usually do it. The question specifically was about if I layer the papers first, or after the picture “gets going.” The [...]

Starry Starry Night Cake

If there is one thing that writing about friendship has done for me, it’s made me appreciate my own friends even more. I’ve always been thankful for the friends I have. I’m a big introvert but I do know the value of friends. I like time to myself, but I really enjoy my gal pals, [...]

Mixed Media: Addicted to Love

I’m playing with mixed media this week, and calling this one “Addicted to Love” after Robert Palmer’s famous video.

Beautiful Words: Psalm 94:19

I’ll say it again, I love the Psalms. (And you’re saying, yes, we know that already Cherie! Okay okay…) So one thing I’ve been thinking about lately is our growth as Christians. My faith has grown as I’ve gotten older. This doesn’t mean I believe more, because I always believed. What I mean is that [...]

New Articles for the Week of January 29, 2012

Recently someone wrote in and asked why I don’t post more writing-related stuff here. One of the questions was about the current projects I work on, so I thought I’d include the weekly articles I write for different places.

Favorite Moments of 2011

Last year I did a round up post of favorite writing moments from 2010, but I thought I would branch out and include other things in my wrap up for 2011. As you can see, I’m behind on that. That’s pretty much been the theme of 2011, though, so I suppose it’s fitting.

Glass Mushrooms

It’s winter, which means I can’t do my bigger glass sculptures because the smell and toxic-ness of the glue is too much to do in the house. So I’m experimenting. I’m trying to work on some smaller glass projects so I can use a different glue and do them in the house. Here’s the latest [...]

Mixed Media Supplies From the Library Sale

I’m way behind on just about everything this week, including new craft projects. But I did manage to go to the local library sale and pick up ten books for under a dollar! Yessiree! That’s the way to get ‘em. Especially when you’re going to craft with them.

Thoughts on Writing Please!

While I was on my staycation, I got an email from someone that asked why I don’t post more thoughts about writing here like I used to. That was so sweet, wasn’t it? Most of the time I feel like I babble, so a nice little message like that made my day.

Keep an Eye Out for Someone Special

I got this fortune a while ago from a lunch date with my hubby, and it said “Keep an eye out for someone special.” I just loved this thought. I know, Chinese fortunes are dorky and made up, but I dig them anyways. You do too, right? Admit it!
