Dreaming of Children

I had a dream.........

I was sitting at a desk studying a very large book. Around me, encircling me were children calling for me.

The family took a fun day and went to Miller Park Zoo. We had so much fun and stayed there for over four hours! My husband made it fun. He was pointing out all the details to our son.

Quite a few years ago some friends and I sang at our local TV station channel 35. I was sooo nervous.

In the winter I enjoy crocheting. I am not good at it, I just enjoy it and love to give the things I make away.

My Family

Since my family did not have a camera way back when, an Asian woman was commissioned to draw a portrait.

My Art

The top picture: I took a whimsical bunny card and glued it down to a page and from that picture, created my own scene. This bunny card is just glorious!

The next picture is a pencil drawing.

The next is my "mountain" page.

And lastly is the cover of one of my journal. I painted over a ring binder and put on the decorations.

My Artwork

The top picture if of me and my son at Silver Dollar City.

Next is a picture drawn by a young man who lives in the Philippians. We were pen pals with his family as I grew up.

The picture with the funny man in the middle came from a dream I had. This dream was more like a movie! I was walking in the dark green area in Ireland and I was looking for a the boundary marker for my property. Along with me were girls dressed in such beautiful colors with full shirts and blew as they danced along. I soon spotted a beautiful cottage with fire coming from the chimney and the grass was long and swaying in the breeze. I looked down and saw the marker! It had a picture of a man's face stamped in it and everyone rejoiced with me!

My favorite time of the year is fall. I adore the colors and the change.

And lastly the picture of kittens, this is actually a huge card. It is as big as a sheet of paper. It came from the late 60's or early 70's. Did any of you ever receive on of these?

My Artwork

The flowers are from my yard and I laid them out on my scanner. Can you guess which ones are there?

I hope you can read the poem by my sister. She is so creative as well as all my family. God has blessed up that way.

The Blythe doll on the right is one from my childhood. I still have her though, she was well loved and it shows.
