Maggie doorhanger

We had a Maggie swap on the CMB in Feb and the project was to alter a doorhanger for
our partner and use a Maggie image on it. My partner liked these words for her bedroom
door to get a little privacy from her 4 children for her and her hubby. She said both she and her husband loved it!

Banner for hope lodge reunion in June

This is the biggest banner I have made yet. It has 12 different parts.
The theme of the reunion will be a western theme and I was asked to
have it say welcome home. I used cowboy Tilda image as my banner piece
to separate the two words and Jolle's embellies for the cowboy and cowgirl
boots on the ends. This Hope Lodge houses many cancer patients and their caregivers
for free while they are undergoing treatment in Ia city. Hope you like it!

Banners banners banners

As some of you know my dh, Bill, is fighting a type of cancer that has attacked his
bones and blood called multiple myeloma. So I had to make him a banner for his hospital room to encourage him.
This is what I came up with! I wanted to show the different things I felt would help him get well.
First our love of over 33 years, second our faith in a God of love and the many prayers being prayed for us and finally the medical staff that have been working so hard at the University of Iowa Hospital.

Here's a pic of my love getting his hair cut off by our future dil. It was coming out in clumps so off went the beard and the hair on his head. I couldn't get it to stay rotated..sorry!

A wreath and an altered K

My friend Kel likes black white and orangeand grunge or steampunk styles, gears etc...
 and brown and red and script paper so here's what I came up with for her.

Glitzy altered purse

I'm not going to go into all the details but wanted to show it to you while I was updating my blog.
I am finished with the purse but now I have to work on some goodies to go inside.
Shhhh don't tell Jessica....LOL

Altered Jesus Frame

This is an altered frame I made for a young friend who was going thru some tough times.

I started with an old frame I got at a resale shop then after removing some wood etc I began my work. I just

love this image of Jesus carrying the lady, I feel as if many days it is me he is carrying, especially this past week as my dear husband and I have just learned that he has cancer again. We thought he had beat it as he had been cancer free for 6 years now. But we are trusting Jesus to carry us both thru this difficult time.

I also added the serenity prayer as it is something to cling to when life gets crazy.

Janda like my gift, I hope you do too?
