Your Thoughts on our blogs and on the Event - *smile*
I’ve never been blessed with much in the way of ‘material
goods,’ but God has blessed me with a large heart, overflowing with love and
‘frugal creativity’ - and the ability to add ‘An Elegant Touch…’ to all of my
endeavors. Many have told me so
through the years. Having learned
how to ‘shop smart,’ my favorite words are - FREE and CLEARANCE! My crafty soul loves the excitement and
challenge of using bits and pieces of very inexpensive items to compliment and
highlight my creations.
For today’s Special Post, I have decided to showcase some of
my recent projects that you may not have seen and which will give you a better
idea of what I do and can do - for you and others!

I have recently had the opportunity to work full-time as the Archival
Preservationist/Professional Scrapbooker (and more) for a Celebrity Family in
this area. It was a terrific
experience to be able to have a hobby become a job - for a while! I do regular paper scrapbooking and
also digital scapbooking. Here are

There’s nothing better than a personal, handwritten note in a handmade card - even in this modern, cyber-age! Therefore, I love to make cards for all occasions. Here are just a few - more can be seen in other posts here and on my FB page -

Through my work as an Archival Preservationist the past few years, I taught myself to do Digital Photo Restoration of Vintage Photos - to ‘renew’ memories from by-gone days. Here are a just a few of my most dramatic restorations of the many that I’ve done -
Blessings!
