Altered book project

On February 20th I put out some books and old magazines to destruct in the weather.  They hung on a little tree sculpture in front of my house through snow storms and ice.  Through rain and sun they stayed put.  I took them down on May 2 but I am just now getting around to posting them.  

Big brother

The nurse at the hospital set up a place so that Miles could hold Ty for a photo.  He was so sweet.  

This sweetie is my new grandson born on May 21.

ATC Workshop

Last Thursday I held an ATC workshop for the high school art club.  It was so easy to do.  I just took over my collection of atc's in their plastic pages.  I took a lot of paper and brads and punches.  I also took a bunch of paint chips and some old greeting cards.  The school provided paper, glue. pens and pencils.  The students came and went as their time allowed and seemed to have a great time.  They created wonderful cards and proudly penned them to the bulletin board.  Both boys and girls actively participated.  I hope I can do this again soon.
