it has been much too long since we were able to hit the open road. Today we stayed in Davenport and enjoyed touring the Figge Museum. This piece by Ukrainian-born artist Louise Nevelson was one of my favorites with its monochromatic found item design. We also loved this piece by Russian-born artist Morris Kantor … Read more
No cardmaking this weekend because I was off to a long weekend in Kansas City with my Sister. Our annual sunglasses in the car photo. We had fun exploring thrift stores, used book stores, and anywhere else that caught our eye. And of course we had amazing food. She remembered some amazing mussels … Read more
Another Gel Print card made during my Art Camp with the Damsel of Distressed. This print was made using the Placid Stencil from ARTplorations together with another die from Becca's collection that I thought coordinated well. I had a lot of fun creating little poems with the Tim Holtz sentiment stickers. I'm linking-up … Read more

I highly recommend the accommodations if you are ever in the area. They have blocked-off a large portion of the downtown main street from traffic, so the restaurants … Read more
It feels like forever since I shared a travel post. We just returned from Time in Missouri for a visit with my family. The trip began with a Sister Day in Springfield, Missouri.

I’ve been enjoying a few days away visiting with family. Yesterday we had a pizza picnic in the park with my sister, Mom and her Mom (my Gran). I sure hope I have those genes.
