After lovingly gathering  far too many vintage supplies to use in my original art, I decided to share  from my collection. That decision, combined with my love of all things French, led me to create French Hen. In addition to authentic and beautiful vintage papers, postcards, textiles, etc. ( most with a French theme), I'll soon be offering exclusively designed original products and artwork featuring our favorite French elements-Paris, Provence, Marie Antoinette, the Eiffel Tower, and more.

What a great experience! First of all, let me start by saying that I'm an even bigger fan than before. Martha is more beautiful in real life than she is on TV or in pictures. She was very gracious and poised and professional;so unbelievably at ease in front of the camera. And do I even need to talk about how gorgeous the set is? I would die for that "craft room" set-up.  Joey Cola is a doll, and so funny-VERY good at his job. The whole experience was pretty relaxed-we were let in and seated in a very calm, orderly fashion; all the staff were so professional and friendly. Martha showed us decoupaged Easter eggs, block-printed linens, and hot-crossed buns. The only disappointment was that her scheduled guest, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, that yummy fellow from &lt;a href="http://www.sho.com/site/tudors/home.do"&gt;The Tudors&lt;/a&gt;, cancelled due to illness. Our giveaway for the day? Martha Stwart Crafts &lt;a href="http://www.marthastewartcrafts.com/detail.php?p=19516&amp;v=msc_prod_tool_cuttingtools"&gt;Scissors&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and &lt;a href="http://www.marthastewartcrafts.com/detail.php?p=19518&amp;v=msc_prod_tool_cuttingtools"&gt;Craft Knife&lt;/a&gt;, both of which I already own, since I ran right out &amp; bought them as soon as Martha came out w/craft products. Penny and I were hoping for a nice shiny copy of Martha's new book, &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Martha-Stewarts-Encyclopedia-Crafts-Instructions/dp/0307450570/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1239065248&amp;sr=1-1"&gt;Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Crafts&lt;/a&gt;, which we didn't get, but it's okay. It's ALL GOOD! We'll just buy the book. The experience was worth way more than the price of the book. I loved every minute of it and I'd do it again! And, I'm more inspired by Martha than ever.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8224060-4449776183368229708?l=msddesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://msddesign.blogspot.com/feeds/4449776183368229708/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://msddesign.blogspot.com/2009/04/marthamarthamartha.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8224060/posts/default/4449776183368229708'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8224060/posts/default/4449776183368229708'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://msddesign.blogspot.com/2009/04/marthamarthamartha.html' title='MARTHA,MARTHA,MARTHA!!'/><author><name>French Hen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10781885945707709158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/S3mDC_bJ0cI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/t-jlxu0IhNc/S220/FHavatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/Sdqj4amPbYI/AAAAAAAAAWI/3WdIzUvXk0E/s72-c/100_2313.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224060.post-168617910872282419</id><published>2009-03-22T11:12:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-22T11:18:11.523-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Confession...</title><content type='html'>OK, here's a confession. I would post more, except that I feel like I can't blog without adding photos. There, I've said it. Am I looking for an excuse? Possibly. But, truly, I find it boring to visit other blogs that don't add photos in their posts. Well, sometimes. I guess once in a while is fine. So, I either need to reconcile myself to the idea of occasionally posting sans photos, or start taking more pictures!

I want to share with you some great antique and e-bay finds I've aquired over the past few weeks. First is this lovely wooden doll form. I keep wanting to refer to her as "angel" rather than "doll", I don't know why. Maybe because she seems kind of ethereal? Anyway, I think she's so chic-shabby chic!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/SbU8GudtbzI/AAAAAAAAAVA/ahiZrX2-Ntw/s1600-h/100_2231.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 77px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/SbU8GudtbzI/AAAAAAAAAVA/ahiZrX2-Ntw/s200/100_2231.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311217421802893106" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/SbU7_q3-UXI/AAAAAAAAAU4/fXKvGOQ4HnA/s1600-h/100_2234.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/SbU7_q3-UXI/AAAAAAAAAU4/fXKvGOQ4HnA/s200/100_2234.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311217300580225394" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next up is this awesome spice cabinet! I just fell right in love with it. It was already this perfect shade of robin's egg blue and I just love the look of it-so country charming. What I especially appreciate in this piece is the repair work on the back. It reminds me of what a disposable society we've become. Nowadays, I think we'd just as soon replace it rather than lovingly repair it. (I'm as guilty as anyone) These little drawers are perfect for stashing supplies and it makes a great addition to the studio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/SbVBL8P1rrI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/rmpl8wsIN38/s1600-h/100_2240_2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 122px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/SbVBL8P1rrI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/rmpl8wsIN38/s200/100_2240_2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311223008960294578" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/SbVBE_FBrSI/AAAAAAAAAVI/6mMKJi8upSo/s1600-h/100_2241.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 182px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/SbVBE_FBrSI/AAAAAAAAAVI/6mMKJi8upSo/s200/100_2241.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311222889461165346" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/SbVBeTU5ayI/AAAAAAAAAVY/xWcAhHYd7KM/s1600-h/100_2244.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 149px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/SbVBeTU5ayI/AAAAAAAAAVY/xWcAhHYd7KM/s200/100_2244.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311223324393171746" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, some additions to my growing collection of vintage bling.

I'm looking forward to starting fresh, as I always am at this time of year. I have high hopes for myself, my home, and my family. And of course, high hopes and goals for my beloved work and business. &lt;br /&gt;I count 2008 as a successful year. We are no less in debt than this time last year, but I had much opportunity to meet and connect with fellow artists and Etsians, reconnect with a wonderful old friend, and spend time with out-of state family. For this, I feel richer. &lt;br /&gt;I spent much time last year gathering &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16214405"&gt;vintage materials&lt;/a&gt; which I will incorporate into many new designs and also offer at &lt;a href="http://www.msddesign.etsy.com"&gt;my Etsy shop&lt;/a&gt;. I have a feeling bird-themes will be playing a large part in upcoming work. We already have some beautiful Heart Themed work ready to go for Valentines. Look for it soon both at &lt;a href="http://www.msddesign.etsy.com"&gt;Etsy&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.cafepress.com/msddesign"&gt;CafePress&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Until next time, I'll be hunkered down at home, dreaming and creating.&lt;br /&gt;Again, Happiest of New Years and Warm Winter Wishes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8224060-6909842713144733524?l=msddesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://msddesign.blogspot.com/feeds/6909842713144733524/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://msddesign.blogspot.com/2008/12/new-year.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8224060/posts/default/6909842713144733524'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8224060/posts/default/6909842713144733524'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://msddesign.blogspot.com/2008/12/new-year.html' title='The New Year'/><author><name>French Hen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10781885945707709158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/S3mDC_bJ0cI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/t-jlxu0IhNc/S220/FHavatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/SVvJeEPEs_I/AAAAAAAAASE/Mku3jKSnQTA/s72-c/100_1828_2.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224060.post-6435623790834007992</id><published>2008-12-01T20:07:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-28T11:09:14.400-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mixed media'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='holiday art'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Etsy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='collage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CafePress'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mixed-media'/><title type='text'>New Holiday Art</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/STSOqa2Kj4I/AAAAAAAAAOQ/uLeydMHZJT8/s1600-h/wmBluebird.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 224px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/STSOqa2Kj4I/AAAAAAAAAOQ/uLeydMHZJT8/s320/wmBluebird.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274997922969849730" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/STSNZT0N33I/AAAAAAAAAOI/4Rh6fHohNcI/s1600-h/wmChristmaspear.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/STSNZT0N33I/AAAAAAAAAOI/4Rh6fHohNcI/s320/wmChristmaspear.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274996529513226098" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some new mixed media pieces I've done for the Holidays.

Four days of non-stop cropping and sister-in-law bonding. Without husbands or three-year-olds! Yay.

While surfing the 'net today, I discovered designer/decoupage artist &lt;a href="http://www.johnderian.com/index.html"&gt;John Derian&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;a href="http://www.subscribetodelight.com/AnnesBlog/tabid/365/Default.aspx"&gt;Anne's Blog&lt;/a&gt;. (Which, incidentally, she's got a good thing going on, too. I'd LOVE a &lt;a href="http://www.subscribetodelight.com/Home/tabid/274/Default.aspx"&gt;"Subscription to Delight&lt;/a&gt;". )Anyways, back to John Derien. I'm completely entranced by his work. The designs are random, simple images plus ephemera, mixed and layered, perfectly, somehow...I can't put a finger on it, but these simple images; a fir tree, an insect, a word, are elevated to icon status in his beautiful collages. Enchanting.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8224060-5034059687706381972?l=msddesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.johnderian.com/index.html' title='Discovering Derian'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://msddesign.blogspot.com/feeds/5034059687706381972/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://msddesign.blogspot.com/2008/10/discovering-derian.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8224060/posts/default/5034059687706381972'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8224060/posts/default/5034059687706381972'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://msddesign.blogspot.com/2008/10/discovering-derian.html' title='Discovering Derian'/><author><name>French Hen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10781885945707709158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/S3mDC_bJ0cI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/t-jlxu0IhNc/S220/FHavatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/SQkbJ1aonCI/AAAAAAAAANQ/Pb_l2vO9nGE/s72-c/11_8210052.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224060.post-4648097403782681626</id><published>2008-10-10T15:01:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-10T15:30:01.193-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='halloween'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='book review'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='paper crafts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='folk art'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bethany lowe'/><title type='text'>Book Review</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/SO-p-JJKp-I/AAAAAAAAANI/haPQxcDXwao/s1600-h/51sOgcVQ8vL._SL160_AA115_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/SO-p-JJKp-I/AAAAAAAAANI/haPQxcDXwao/s320/51sOgcVQ8vL._SL160_AA115_.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255606175236007906" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bethany-Lowes-Folk-Art-Halloween/dp/1600592538/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1223659011&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;Bethany Lowe's Folk Art Halloween&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My latest Halloween decorating/inspiration book.

I love all things French and to find a whole book full of franco-style projects was a dream come true. The photos are so great-I wish my laundry room looked that good!-and Kaari has provided pages full of lovely labels, tags, etc. for us to copy and use in our own personal projects. My more recent purchase, &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/French-Inspired-Jewelry-Creating-Vintage-Buttons/dp/1600590969/ref=pd_sim_b_7"&gt;French Inspired Jewelry&lt;/a&gt;, is equally beautiful. Pure eye-candy. The beaded baubles are lovely and look &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;very&lt;/span&gt; easy to make. I'll be honest with you, though. I'll probably never make any of them. But I &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;will&lt;/span&gt; pore over the photos over and over, sure to find new inspiration every time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8224060-2703850207868087641?l=msddesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='https://www.frenchgeneral.com/' title='Vive la Kaari Meng!'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://msddesign.blogspot.com/feeds/2703850207868087641/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://msddesign.blogspot.com/2008/07/la-vie-la-kaari-meng.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8224060/posts/default/2703850207868087641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8224060/posts/default/2703850207868087641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://msddesign.blogspot.com/2008/07/la-vie-la-kaari-meng.html' title='Vive la Kaari Meng!'/><author><name>French Hen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10781885945707709158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/S3mDC_bJ0cI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/t-jlxu0IhNc/S220/FHavatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/SGrav3vPrWI/AAAAAAAAAI4/svGY32vs9NA/s72-c/61eOyxm3WpL._SL500_SS100_.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224060.post-5604974007169351764</id><published>2008-05-31T19:51:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-07-17T21:33:03.223-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='studio'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spring'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='scrapbooking'/><title type='text'>Happy June!</title><content type='html'>Wow, June already. Summer's here. Now it'll be hard to stay inside &amp;amp; do work. Too bad I can't build on a screened-in porch to set my studio up in! Things at MSD have been quite busy lately...a marathon week of scrapbooking to meet a &lt;a href="http://www.creatingkeepsakes.com/contests/soy/"&gt;contest&lt;/a&gt; deadline, a wonderfully fun invitation job, gift creations and lots of other miscellaneous projects. One thing I haven't been working on lately is my painting &amp;amp; collage work. I'm hoping to get to that once things slow down over the next few weeks. So, check our &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=68094"&gt;Etsy&lt;/a&gt; shop in a few weeks for some new goodies. Also, our &lt;a href="http://www.cafepress.com/msddesign"&gt;Cafe Press shop&lt;/a&gt; has been overhauled recently, see what you think...OK, onto planning my summer fun, oh, I mean work.&lt;div&gt;Enjoy!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8224060-5604974007169351764?l=msddesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://msddesign.blogspot.com/feeds/5604974007169351764/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://msddesign.blogspot.com/2008/05/happy-june.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8224060/posts/default/5604974007169351764'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8224060/posts/default/5604974007169351764'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://msddesign.blogspot.com/2008/05/happy-june.html' title='Happy June!'/><author><name>French Hen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10781885945707709158</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1SGR6SzF7Ss/S3mDC_bJ0cI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/t-jlxu0IhNc/S220/FHavatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224060.post-3001796905591451024</id><published>2008-05-13T16:33:00.009-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-13T16:53:03.872-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Martha Stewart'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mermaid'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sunshine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spring'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='garden'/><title type='text'>Spring at Last!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;Ah, Thank God!

Yay! Lots of sales and celebrations to honor it. What are you doing to celebrate your creativity? I'm trying out some new products, Adirondack Paint Dabbers, Chipboard Letters, and Grafix Rub-Onz. I'll be using them to make a sign for the MSD Design Studio. Can't wait. I'll post photos and feedback on my new products.&lt;br /&gt;March is also National Women's History Month. I'm challinging myself to develop a project to combine  the two-celebrate creativity and honor women of the past. Hmmm....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.

Someone else fed and cleaned up after us (for a change), no rambunctious toddlers, no husbands (no offense, Babe), so much room to work, other creative women to interact with.

With my husband's encouragement and favorable response to recent work, I've decided to throw myself wholeheartedly into my collage work.
