Hello Friends, and welcome to my part in Unscripted Sketches, Christmas in July theme.
I had grand ideas of creating a beautiful project, but well, life, and procrastination got in the way, so instead I am going to do an Unscripted post filled with randomness ideas, and good-stuff.
I love the idea of adding a personal item to the present, endless possibilities. Here my mother-in-law added a small ceramic doll outfitted with my birthmonth color and birthstone [September-sapphire].
Thanks for visiting me, and I hope you’ve enjoyed Unscripted Sketches Christmas in July theme that Sarah Kaye has worked so hard putting together, and organizing!
Here’s to a wonderful Christmas 2010 ahead of us.

As I am attempting to peek into those who joined in on the Where Bloggers Create Blog Party, I came across Karen’s blog: Some Days Are Diamonds and noticed her call out for Bloggerette Sorority Sisters, and I thought I’d join in.
Here is the RUSH that I created. I am blessed to share my life with the most beautiful, strong, intelligent, and creative women that anyone could ever hope to know, so I used my girlies as my inspiration for this project…
And well, because said we had to be in the picture also, here I am holding my creation [wonder if Karen knows that I prefer to be 'behind' the camera?!]
Until later…Have a beautiful day everyone!

Welcome to my little Art STudio located in Bucksport, Maine.
My Art STudio is located in our sunroom off our livingroom. The 8×12 size, and limited wall space due to its 7 windows have had some disadvantages, but I’ve grown to love, and appreciate my little space over the years.
We are in the process of putting our home on the market to move closer to my work as the 1 and 1/2 hour drive one way is becoming more difficult for me. I am not sure if I will be able to have a complete room of my own when we leave our home behind, so I am downsizing considerably, and trying to focus on what I truly need to ‘create’, and a ‘few’ items that make me ‘happy’ and have an important meaning to me.
I probably should mention in my diningroom there is an antique steamer trunk, and an antique armoire filled to the rim with more scrapbook goodies.
Well, I hope you enjoy your visit, and I hope to maybe inspire you!!
..looking into my Art STudio from the livingroom..
…my newest addition found via Craigs List, an antique Library Card Catalog Cabinet, the owner told me it is from Allenstown, PA and had been in storage for a number of years prior to his purchasing it…
…a few things that make me happy…
…a peek inside one of the drawers…
…keeping focused on our goal of visiting Paris…
…stand to hold printer and house router, 4 drawer container holds photos, and notice scrapbook rolling tote and bag in corner prepared if I have a chance to scrapbook outside of my studio…the xxl rolling tote is in the attic!…
…shelf above the stand…
…love suitcases. each filled with mini albums, stickers, paper, punches, rubberstamps, etc…
…bookcase…
…front view…
…Isabella, an antique dress form that I practically stole from an antique store [ie: I couldn't afford the price and asked the owner if the price negotiable...it sure was, and she practically gave her to me!]
…close up of Isabella…
…my worktable…
…antique jam/jelly wire rack…
…a reminder to live out loud!…
…looking from front of room…
…one last look…
And seriously, my Art STudio is NEVER this clean! My work table was so cluttered I must admit that some of the junk is still sitting on top of my diningroom table, and I have no idea what to do with it.
THings I need/want, to put the finishing touches on my Art STudio:
Well, I hope you’ve enjoyed taking a peek into my little Art STudio, and I look forward to peeking in yours…Here’s to a beautiful weekend filled with much love, and happiness…
