Hurray!

Hurray! I finally received Lauren's piece for the Motherhood/Bird Collaborative we're working on. Our schedule got a little delayed, so I'm just receiving the first project to work on. And it is GORGEOUS! It's a decorated box with shredded paper inside to act as a nest. Then there are egg-shaped cards to decorate, of which she has done two already. Plus she included a little packet of goodies for each of us-how sweet! I wish I had thought to do that with mine. I can't wait to begin working on my two eggs!

And in book news, I'm going to work on a proposal about chronicling your life and special events through collage-using your own image, family images, and symbolic images. And intertwined with all that would be my own tips and techniques. It's just at the VERY beginning stages right now, so don't go preordering on Amazon or anything! I haven't even gotten the idea approved yet. But, at least now I actually have an idea! And I again have to thank those of you who gave me your thoughts, because you really helped me solidify my concept.

I leave tomorrow afternoon for about a week and a half vacation in Yellowstone, so I won't be on the computer for a while. It will be a nice break and should be a fun time. Hope you all have a good week, and I'll see you when I return!
