Sentimental

I am truly a sentimental person. There are so many memories that get me emotional just thinking about them. I think it started more or less back in highschool when I would save little tokens like movie stubs, airplane tickets, restaurant napkins, travel brochures, anything and everything that I could include in my scrapbook of memories. The special thing about these so called worthless objects to some is who I was with when I collected them. I can open a scrapbook album or box and find a little treasure that will make me reminisce about a forgotten time. To hear a song or watch a movie again that reminds you of someone special, a sweet photo where you know you had to just be there to understand the pose. All these sincere emotions that overwhelm you at any given moment makes you a sentimental spirit like me. :)

You are Loved

This 5" X 7" canvas painting is a mixed media piece I created using a stamp, ink, acrylics, oil pastels, & decoupage tissues.

HOPE

I enjoy combining my favorite art passions whenever I can. Besides painting & altered art, I love hand-stitching art quilts. In this 8" X 10" canvas piece I started out with a painting of a sweet angel, then I went ahead and hand-stitched down fabric, lace, appliques, beads, & multiple embellishments to finish it up.

Love yourself

To share joy & to love others begins with loving yourself. This sweet little mermaid was painted on an 8" X 10" canvas board. It was created using ink, pastels, metallic & acrylic paints.

Live without Regret

The saying "Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda" has popped in my mind more than once in my lifetime. There are many unknown possibilities that will always be a mystery. To live without regret is now something I strive to follow through with. I hope that I have no more maybes or what if's that cross my path. I guess I'll have to wait, *make it happen*, & see. :)

Sweet Memories

This 5" X 7" canvas painting is called Sweet Memories. There are so many sweet memories that we'll treasure forever. Memories never fade, they become captured within your soul.

Dare to Dream!

We'll never know what tomorrow may bring if we don't at least dare to dream. Waiting for our destinies to be fulfilled can be a long and magical journey, but dreaming of how to make it happen can be the best blessing ever. Dare to Dream!
