That vacation I last spoke of .This is where I want to go,and if I look hard enough with the right vision,I can see it through and past the golf course right out my window.Most, or all my neighbors believe we live on a golf course,but this is what I see when I look out:

Where to go on vacation?

It's that time again,I feel the urge to plan another vacation. This one I don't want my feet to swell in the car or my husband to get too tired driving.We always drive because we take our two little doggies with us.Where to go I don't know.If it's not too tiring or expensive and if he can bring his "babies" with him,my husband likes me to plan what ever I want. Hhhhmmm...lets think....who out there likes to plan other peoples vacations,any takers?

The land of painted caves

Oh yea ,I get to go on another adventure.

If you know me ,these journey's are just my type of thing.

Searching through the painted caves with Jean Auel.Her 6th book is out and I've waited with many others to hear the latest about Ayla and Jondalar .Anybody else excited about this?
Whether it be hobbits,elves ,fairies or you, any one who wants to step back in time with us is welcome.Were going to prehistory.I'm one of Ayla's best friends.I'm tall,Shapely,strong,long flowing brown hair.I can run like the wind,jump on a horse and ride with Ayla through the forest looking for medicinal herbs and laughs on the way.
Me,one of Ayla's friends(TEEHEE)

A new Zentangle, M.E's

Look what I found.Could this be Mary Englebreit's version of a zentangle?I love it Mary.

Zentangle Crazy


My latest artistic passion is drawing Zentangles.They are addictive in a good way. Although I always avoid anything with the word Zen in it because I am a devoted Christian. I found nothing I disapprove of in Zentangles except for the word Zen. I haven't taken any photos of my drawings yet.These two above drawings are from one of the Authors on the web page Zentangle.com--I just need to find a new name for them that would be more pleasing to Christ and myself, any ideas?

Wooden spool charms

I just started making these Spool Charms last night.Once I started I couldn't stop.I had 6 very old spools hanging around making my crafting fingers itchy.I had seen others making spool charms,so here are mine.I think they look a little like 1950s spring hats if you ask me.

Lining up to go into Grandma's Cottage.
All they need now is some glitter and more ribbon.I don't know why,but they make me happy.like little ladies going into church on Easter Sunday or into My cottage for Easter Tea.Off to play with them some more,then I better go swimming to get my exercise in so I can come back and play even a little MORE.

Going to sleep in the shire.

Enter my world of imagination
Only my husband and one or two others knew--now more--this is what I do while He watches T.V.If I'm too tired to read, craft or needlework

I Sit in my recliner next to His and do what Sponge Bob and Patrick do---use My IMAGINATION----

My sketchbook-art journal or what ever, takes no energy.I color,sticker and cut and glue tell I fall asleep.

Many worlds become real

without any talent whatsoever

I drift away with the glittering faeries,hobbits and pathways into the forest with my little friends  

I open the door to my little home under the hill in the shire.Until I hear Paul's voice"Denise wake up it's time to go to bed."

How thankful I am.For all my Blessings
Big or small .
One of my favourite songs that makes me realise God’s always around. — Dancing with God, Verse 1: You dance over me While I am unaware, You sing all around But I never hear the sound, Chorus: Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You How You love me Verse 2: You paint the moring sky With miracles in mind, My hope will always stand, For You hold me in Your hand.
