Enter a Great Contest

One of my favorite sites, The Vintage Workshop, is sponsoring a contest on their blog...Here! Just click on the link and read all about it. The Vintage Workshop has some great downloadable images and I have used a number of them for cards and gifts. All of them have a vintage look, of course, and there are many to choose from. Some of my favorites are floral, but I also love the Christmas and Easter designs.

I added the stars, the music and the text, as well as the color. Check out their site for more information on the contest and their images.

It is dried and glossed. I found the perfect wooden base when I visited my son and his family in March. He had a lot of old...

Food and Fun at Fiesta Mart Earlier this month I drove to Richmond, Texas, to visit my lovely daughter, Kim, and her family. We spent one afternoon visiting a nearby town, Rosenberg. We went to an antique store, had lunch at Another Time Soda Fountain, and visited a great shop that makes beautiful furniture, Hawkins Furniture Co. The last place we stopped was the Fiesta Mart Grocery. I took my camera in with me and was loving all of the color all around me....but then I was pleasantly surprised by the sounds of a mariachi band. This is not something I see or hear in our...
