WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT COCONUT OIL YEARS AGO......

Coconut Oil and Alheimer's


My husband and I have begun a new regime in regards to taking care of ourselves and trying to live a healthier lifestyle.  One of the major changes is that we are juicing everyday and also taking Coconut Oil as part of our new regime change!  Take a peek at the link below as to why we are now using Coconut Oil every day!

I'M BACK IN THE USA!......

Up, Up and away!

On the 23rd of June I took off with my brother for London Heathrow airport on Virgin Atlantic flight V 006.  This was an historical flight for us both because it had been years since we were to be together for a prolonged period of time.  I am happy to say that there was no significant blood loss and both parties remained civil and in our respective corners of the ring!  All joking appart we had the BEST time together and had a wonderful two weeks of each other's company which was fantastic.  I can honestly not remember how long ago that it was that we had been able to spend so much time together.  At least thirty years!

DIGITAL FREEBIE IMAGE......

I am sharing this digital collage with you to enjoy!  If you have a little girl who loves paper dolls and anything girly then these will go down a treat.  Imagine a string of pretty bunting flags in her bedroom draped across a window!  Have fun coming up with creative ways to use this image.

THE UPS AND DOWNS OF CREATING......

Sometimes there are days when I hit a complete drought where creating is concerned.  I will nearly always start off with a beautiful antique postcard as my first inspirational piece.  Then from that place go absolutely no where!  Believe me I mean no where!!

I will sit and look at the image for ages waiting for something to click and settle in my mind and it never comes.  This image was a perfect example!  There have been times I have abandoned an image because I am in such a rut in regards to ideas and vision.  This young girl is so beautiful that I felt sure I would be romping along but no, after a couple of days of hacking in bits and pieces I was no nearer a finished design.

The hardest part of this design was if you would believe it the background!  I tried so many before I got to the simple sky idea.  Wish I had though of it earlier and from that jumping off point I was off and running.

Sometimes it can be so frustrating but when you do finally get to the point where it all works and comes together it is magical.

I hope you enjoy this new Fairest Of Them All Collection and have a great weekend of creating!

SPLISH SPLASH MERMAID.....

My very latest design has been created using one of my all time favourite vintage postcards.  This wonderful postcard has been part of my collection for a very long time and I truly love the expression in her eyes.  Now I will say that this face and eyes have been completely remastered by me before I even began my newest design.

Many times I will begin a design and it just does not have enough going for it to make the cut.  I am really fussy about the completed image and often these will be put away until inspiration strikes.  That was not the case with this latest creation, Sparkling Eyes as I have always called her just seemed to flow and these are my very favourite designs of all.

I truly hope that you love this latest creation of mine and you can find her and others by visiting YOUR CRAFT EPHEMERA and by clicking HERE.
