Back At It!

Hello April!
Today actually felt like a Spring day, here in Westchester ,New York.
I only went out for a little bit.
But it was nice.

Anyhow... I really do want to get back to posting on here a couple if times a week.
It doesn't really matter if I  have followers or not.
Mainly I want this blog so my kids have something to look back on later in life.
It is so interesting to look back in time and reminisce.
Recently I have been working in an art journal. It is so fun to learn to use different supplies& learn  new techniques . There is a woman who does tutorials on YouTube. She is wonderful! I am part of her Facebook group also. It is called Mixed Media Morsels.
Also, I have been getting back into  making artist trading cards and decos and joining in swaps.
I just love the sharing and inspiration that comes with that!
I hadn't been on swapbot for years because of a person I had sent late to ... I explained the problem I had to her,sent a beautiful handmade journal and tons of extras only to have her ignore mt emails. I know she received mt package because of the tracking I put on it. She never changed my rating and that blemish bothered me so much I stopped swapping. That happened in 2008...
Time to leave it in the past and go ahead and enjoy swapping again.
I've joined a couple of swaps on there. One is for decos and the other is mixed media atc's.
I am posting the decos here tonight.
That is all for now!

“Roses and thorns are parts of the same plant. Somehow though, some people are concerned mainly about the roses. The rose is not on the plant for more than a week, but the thorns are there forever. Roses are teaching that the beauty of life will bloom, once you have taught yourself the lessons given by living with the thorns.”  ―  Grigoris Deoudis This post is part of the  Nature Footstep meme.  A meme all about flowers and macro shots.

Happy Sunday! I decided to start an "Artist of the Week " post to do on Sundays!It's a good way to learn more about the  different styles of each artist.

She was one of four daughters. Frida did not plan to become an artist .She had been studying Medicine at the " Escuela Nacional Preparatoria" in Mexico City. Out of 2000 students, Frida was one of only 35 women accepted into the prestigious institution. However in 1925  at the age she was severely injured in a bus accident in  which she suffers fractures to her spine, collarbone and ribs, a shattered pelvis, and shoulder and foot injuries.
