A Successful Show! We are doing it again!!!

Yes, the art show was a great success! And Pyramid Inc asked us to do it again in December.

Pyramid Adult Day Training Program is a non-profit organization serving more than 170 individuals with developmental disabilities in the Tampa Bay Area. Pyramid offers a true Liberal Arts Training Program. This program offers a diverse curriculum with advanced performing and visual art courses. Their Artists have shown in galleries throughout the state and have their own Gallery here in Tampa. All their art is for sale!!! By inviting other artist they are hoping to attract more awareness to their program. 

I feel so honored to be asked back and to help bring in more art lovers and help this program grow. 

Please come visit the Pyramid Inc Gallery on December 5, 2014 for First Friday Seminole Heights Art Crawl.

Cinco De Mayo Super Moon

Just out playing with my iPad and ScratchCam App. and had to take a picture of the Super Moon. Love all the different effects you do with all the photo applications that are out there. I must keep playing!!

Up-cycle a used book to scrapbook or genealogy book

I just love this idea of recycling an old book

and make it into a scrapbook like this

I have been scanning old pictures with my FlipPal scanner of family members and I think what I am going to do next is make it into a genealogy scrapbook. I have all sorts of ideas running through my head right now.  Can you imagine all those great black and white photos!!

Go visit JANET HOPKINS blog to see the instructions on how to "up-cycle" an old book to a scrapbook.

Who Do You Think You Are

"Who Do You Think You Are" was on last night and I really enjoyed the show. Looking back and trying to find your ancestors is so rewarding. I am still scanning pictures, with my Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner, of my family and have found so many great photos, some from dear family member. I thought I would share with you this photo of my mother and her sister, taken in the 1930's. Look at that awesome baby carriage!!! The real picture is this faded. I ran it through Photoshop and here is a b&w version.

I'm not sure which one I like better but it is sure nice to have both!

Did I say I LOVE my Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner !!!

Art and Soul Retreat

I just signed up for the "Art and Soul Retreat" for May 2010, that will be held in Hampton, Virgina. You might think this is crazy to sign up now but this retreat is huge. Some classes sell out in the first 24 hr after they post that registration is open. Well, registration is now open! It is so much fun and you learn so much and I think the best thing is that you are surrounded by other artist and crafters.  If you are interested this is what it is all about:
