I'm sure you all have noticed the absence of Marie (Ozstuff) in the last couple of weeks. Marie is recuperating from major surgery. In the interim, Ann and Bev will keep our Three Muses, Take a Word and Digitalmania challenges up and running. We know you join us in sending Marie our thoughts and wishes for a speedy recovery.


UPDATE 8/30: Marie's recovery is progressing well. She is expected to be moved to rehab very soon. Your notes of encouragement are being relayed to her.


UPDATE 9/3: Marie continues to make a slow recovery. Your notes of encouragement have been copied into a document and are being relayed to her. We all thank you for your concern.

CHALLENGE 22 - FOWL PLAY

I'll start off this week's Cockadoodle Cluck challenge with this gloriously happy rooster and his "women". He really has something to crow about. .... and very little competition! I can't wait to see what shows up this week from our talented crew. Have fun!

Three Muses Challenge 21 - Long Ago And Far Away

Hi it's me Ann and this week's theme is LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY. I wonder what that will mean to you, will it be a strange and exotic land, a fairy tale, a famous person, part of your family history or something else entirely?

Just in case you need a little inspiration here is my sample, a tale from Mabel's childhood.

And remember at the Three Muses anything goes so whether you stamp, embroider, make it with fabric, paper or clay, paint it or do it digital we can't wait to see what you come up with. Most of all enjoy.

The Three Muses Challenge - Hair

Our theme this week is HAIR. Remember, anything goes at the Muses. We want to see beautiful hair, ugly hair, big hair, sparse hair – and maybe an outrageous wig or two. The pathway to hair excellence is sometimes STRAIGHT and sometimes WAVY. Hair is a PERMANENT fixture, sometimes FINE and sometimes THICK. Hair is here to stay (except on bald men). Hair is a buzz (cut). Let’s hear it for hair!!
