Time runs in fits and starts here lately. This is what I do in the late hours when everyone is asleep except James and I. Thank so all so much for your sweet words and thoughtful comments. He is doing much better. When he is totally clear and well he is going to be put under general anesthesia so the doctors can scope his lungs to see what exactly is going on in there. I hope they can find something, anything, that will help him. We were able to keep him out of the hospital this time so that is awesome. When the asthma specialist said that he would need to be admitted if he didn't improve in 24 hours I looked over at him. He was laying on the exam table looking at the ceiling and one single big, fat tear rolled down from the corner of his eye. That's all the fuss he made and I knew he was so very scared. My poor Sweet, Sweet Bunny.

I have FITs for you this afternoon. We are all getting back into our routines here. But I think I could sleep for the next month or two! LOL!!!

I love Flicker!! LOL!!!

Sorry if I have been quiet. James has had pneumonia and David and my husband are sick also. We have worked round the clock with James' doctor to keep him home and out of the hospital. He was hospitalized in November for pneumonia and I did not want him back there. He was so sad/scared when he thought he might have to go again. Tired is my middle name this week:) So forgive my quietness. I plan to nap as much as possible this weekend;) Love, Jamie

Just testing out my new Flicker account:)

Kewpie Doll FIT!...Thank You Sweet Friends!...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! It rained here for the 4th year in a row, so the Easter Bunny had to hide his eggs indoors. I may be finding jelly beans in the couch cushions for weeks!


Look at this living Kewpie Doll!!!! That hair!!! Is he not the sweetest thing?! I love finding cabinet cards that show the children smiling. He is clutching a little bell in his right hand. You know he was ringing that thing as fast as he could! LOL!! There was no identification for this sweetie, but the photographer was from the Schubert Brothers Studio of Chilton, Wisconsin.


I have had a really wonderful response about the new digital collage sheets and I wanted to share some of the lovely artists who have been so sweet to show the art pieces they have made using the sheets.

This first piece is from Sweet Lori over at My Faerie Window. She used the tintype collage sheet in a sweet tag for her spectacular burlap bag. I love the vintage handkerchief and vintage pearl jewelry piece she used as accents. Only Lori could make lowly burlap look so beautiful! LOL!!

She also is a genius with collage, paper clay AND needle felting. If I didn't love her so much I would be terribly jealous;)



These next pieces are from Sweet Nancy over at Vintage Papers. She used both of the tintype collage sheet and the Lena collage sheet. Nancy just finished her Spring Break and she made grand use of her time:) Look at all the wonderful pieces she created! These first three pieces are skinny collages. I see on the first collage Nancy also used the fabulous egg stamp from her Sugar Lump Studio's Heartfelt stamp collection as embellishment. I have that set and love it!!

The next collages are beautiful cards!! One using my Lena collage and one using a FIT!! I love it when I see those FITS in action:) I always love Nancy's art and the images she shares with us.
I love all of these so much Nancy! Thank you Sweet Friend.

If you have posted art using any of the collage sheets or FITs and I have not posted them then ring my neck and let me know! LOL!! Not too hard though;)

Having A FIT for Easter!...

I was cleaning out my piles of "old stuff nobody really cares about" (Thanks David! Way to support your Mom! LOL!!) and I found these Easter postcards that I had bought and then forgotten about. Organization at it's finest, People! LOL! I left the post cards worn and dirty just as they are, but they are high resolution and you can clean them up before you use them if you like:) They would make great Easter tags!

I'm not too sure about this one. Why does that little girl have a gun? Are they hunting the Easter bunny? Did He get away? These things keep me up at night Folks:)

Thank You Sweet Guinea Pigs:)...

Thank you so much for all of your help with the new collage sheets!! Your feedback means so much to me and has really helped me today. The collage sheets are yours to keep and use to create wonderful art. Love, Jamie
