Head In The Clouds

Head In The Clouds, original collage on book cover

Thank you all for your well wishes yesterday. We're not quite walking around with our heads in the clouds yet but we're definitely feeling much, much better ;) Here's to a new month...Happy February!

1920's Valentine Scraps

First off I just wanna know where the heck the month of January went?! Did it completely pass you by too? I was still recovering from the holidays and then realized the month was over. Guess I'd better get it in gear (mentally speaking) at least. It's been kinda hard with the weirdly warm winter 'round these parts. The bank sign on the way to the post office today stated it was 66 degrees!

I did have grand plans to make up a whole bunch of Valentine-y ornaments and such for the shops but with 2 weeks 'till that special day I'm behind on those plans. I did manage to purchase these charming Valentine scraps to use in the pieces, but I think they will be added to the ephemera files for next year. These particular scraps were manufactured by the Carrington Company of Chicago, Illinois circa 1920's. Super sweet paper bits aren't they?

Happy February all!

Walking On Sunshine

Since we're welcoming in the month of February with a crazy winter storm here in Kansas I thought I would try to spread a bit of sunshine around and hope for the best. This little collage, "Walking On Sunshine", was done on the pages of my new notebook from Poketo. The gridded pages are a lot of fun to work with so I'm sure I'll be sharing more soon. Happy February--hope you find a bit of sunshine to walk on today!
