There's A Gyspy In Every Woman's Soul!

Vintage Gyspy Images

Here are some vintage ladies

for you to use in

your art work that have a

certain flair for dancing!

I love their pretty birght costumes !

They would add that something extra

if you're working on a collage

that has bright colors in the background

I have a background you can use that

would be perfect for these images. 

 A few weeks ago,

 I was dying some silk yarn

and my dye leaked out of the bowl

and onto the counter ! 

When I found the mess,

 I quickly grabbed my camara

and took some pictures! 

As you can see,

the bright colors pooled together in swirls,

 which made me wonder...

woulsn't these colors

make a great backgound  

for a mixed-media collage!?! 

 Here is what I came up with

after I edited the pictures!

Pictured here:

the "Famous"  Mata Hari!

Another picture of Mata Hari!!

Please have fun with this

and send me a copy of your art work 

 if you use any of these images. 

I would be pleased to show off anything

 you do with your creative "spark"!!

P.S.     If you are curious...

 this is what the yarn looked like

 when it was finished!!

Sharing More Of My Friends!

More Friends!!!

February

is the month to share our love and warm thoughts

by sending out our heartfelt gestures

to loved ones and dear friends!

I thought this would be the perfect time to share

some of my sweet friends with you

and also send out a

Valentine's Day 

"Sweet Greeting"

                                                                   

to each one!

 

***I would have liked to have posted a single entry

for each one of these special friends

but I ran out of time due to a terrible case of laryngitis! 

 I  have them listed below and would ask that when

you have time, please, go visit these wonderful women

and see how talented they really are. 

 

Their beautiful posts , free vintage images,

challenges, and art work will amaze you,

but, their lives will inspire you even more! 

 

 

I would never have believed when I first

started blogging, six months ago,

that I would meet such

wonderful people to correspond with!

Isn't it amazing, this era we live in!?!

Our technology can take us across continents

and span the world in seconds,

linking all of us together with just one click!

ALLEGIANCE

I have never met these talented women,

but they are very dear to me!

They inspire me,

challenge me,
touch my heart,

make me smile,

make me laugh,

make me cry,

and make me sigh...

They are beautiful!

Their words are spiritual,

compassionate, bold, and strong!

And what they create with their

hands and their hearts...,

there are no words big

enough to describe the

height and depth of the

beauty within each image,

in each soul! !

Dear Friends,

I want to thank you today for your

sweet comments, encouraging words,

and kind thoughts!

Your friendship has been such a gift to me!!

You'll never know, just how much, your presence

in my life has meant to me! You are a blessing!

May God Bless you in all of your days!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Kymberly

Now I present to you...

please, when you read your name,

stand up and take a bow,

clap your hands,

give yourself a pat on the back,

place a huge smile on your face...

because you deserve the praise!!!!

Time to Share Another Friend!

I thought I would

share another friend

with you today

and send her a

Valentine's Day

"Sweet Greeting"

to let her know how

special she is  to me!

 Please refer to the post on

Saturday, February 6th,

where I left a poem

for you to Read!

Hello, Diane!

http://1cardcreator.blogspot.com/

 I haven't known Diane very long but

what thing I am  sure of ...

 she is  friendly,  kind, and  

a very gracious, giving person. 

We found out that we had

something very important in common! 

 Both of us  are committed to preserving and

archiving the vintage heritage and history

 of our ancestors lives.

We both feel that it is so

  important for the future generations 

 to learn and understand the history of

our forefathers and how they  forged

bravely ahead to lay the foundation of

what our lives are built on today!

What they left behind is a witness to how they lived,

  built their homes, cared for their families!

The antiques and images we so
dearly love to collect today,

 was once someone else's
precious "treasure"!

See, how  wonderful the Internet is! 

We  find people and they find us and

soon we discover just how much we

really have in common! 

And  if we never meet face to face,

 we will aways have this bond!

So  Diane decided to start sharing her

"trinkets and treasures" with us!

I am so excited ...I just can't

 wait to see what she'll want us to see first!

I will certaily keep you updated for this special event!  

Also, I must brag a little bit on her because she

 makes the cutest card I've ever seen! 

I just have to show you some of her creative work:

My Favorite!  I love this card!

 

Isn't this just the cutest ?  So Sweet!!

She is so crafty! 

 Isn't this gorgeous!

Just a simple kleenex box  turned into

 something so elegant! 

Drop in to visit her, she will not mind...

you can make yourself comfortable, kick back,

and enjoy looking at all of her wonderful cards! 

Also, while you are there, don't forget to check out

  the wide array of craft resources that

she has posted for anything and everything 

you could think of to create! 

Thank you, Diane ,

for all of your kind words and deeds. 

 You have been an inspiration to me and  

and I am very thankful that our paths have crossed!

Good luck in everything you endeaver! 

God Bless YOU!
