Mirthful inchie...

When Spring flowers start popping up…I get pretty mirthful knowing it is getting about time to get the John Deere out and going for a ride with the kids.

It is a gift that cheers a wary heart

Submission to Every Inchie Monday

Come join the fun of making one inch pieces of art from any and all mediums and elements. It lasts all year…it’s a lot of fun, you meet people and see all the wonderful art work they do!

This was a challenge but I pulled it off

1 inch x 1 inch x 1 inch x 1 inch

This is my little Toots and me, Tootsie in the summer of 2010.

I am looking  forward to that mirthful feeling again.

The Girls...

...have a gift to give.

Thank-you Grandma Tootsie made this for us.

Mommy works full time in a ER. This is a little something for her desk area, to let her know we Love her, think of her and so many are thankful for what she does.

Taking a challenge at RRR#17 with a heart theme
Creating was in progress with this 3-D fold out. To protect it I added card stock that wraps around. Then I added a bow with elastic in the back so it would be easy off & on.

Maudlin Inchie...

"IT"

Here “it” is, I don’t have a name for “it” so if you have a thought for a name...tell me “it”!

“It” is a maudlin sort that lives among the ferns in the woods of Oregon.

Caring Inchie...

...from the heart.

Home Care Giving comes from the heart.
To give to the ones in need and to give a break to the family giving care to their own.
Caring comes from within...letting go of your own life, toughin' up, letting go and giving to.

Home Care givers...

...they are Living Angles 
In remembrance of Sharon Simonsen

"Oh how her garden grew"

Remembering…

Carla Dean (Borough) Bagley

A blessing that grow within hearts of all that were touched by her.

The lessons she taught…her wisdom and knowledge shared, with a loving heart.

For all that listened, absorbed and applied within their own lives…

are everlasting.  She will be forever…in a life…remembered…

With stories told of her life lived.

* Jan. 12, 1943 – May 24, 2004 *

Love of children, family, friends, flowers, antiques, Mary Engelbreit, Arts and Crafts...she expressed her joy.

Powerful inchie...

...Life and communication!

#2 inchie for Every Inchie Monday 2011

My father was the "Telephone Man" as a little girl, I indicated when someone asked. 

On June 2, 1956 Francis Hall Bagley became the Linesman phone Repairman for the Knappa Telephone Company. This was the year that I, Tootsie was born in November.

Dad retired June 10, 1999

The communication has came a long way since 1956.

A bit of proof is that I can now, present my art around the world...simply!

Life and communication...what a power for expression and thankful.

Telephone is handmade of Bazzil sparkle paper all other elements are scrap.

Stamp is from: Inkadinkado called Flourishes Inches

Block in the back ground with saying is from: Ambiance For Beautiful Homes

Electic inch...

...a inch a week by Every Inchie Monday 

* Week 1 for 2011 *

First I would like to say Thanks-you to Sherry at GOT ART? who commented and invited me to One World One Heart Event at A Whimiscal Bohemian  and from there...Kris with Every Inchie Monday whom commented and invited me to her challenge. 
Blogging what a wounderful thing...to share from the heart.
This is a first for me to submit into a "art form" challenge so bare with me as I learn by watching all of you!

 My love of paper moves me to form it into what I see and feel for the moment.
