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.

Three Muses - Odd Bird

Nothing pleases me more than creating odd characters. I think we've all known at least one Stanley -- someone who is a bit exotic, a bit of a caricature and a bit flamboyant who loves to be a bit different. This challenge should produce some wonderful odd fellows. I can hardly wait!

The Three Muses Challenge - Mail Art


The theme for this week is MAIL ART. I had a lot of fun making a decorated envelope as a sample for the challenge but any type of mail art is welcome. So bring out your stamps and your postmarks and your mail ephemera and show us what you can do with them.

Bev will be along soon to post her sneak peek for next week.

THREE MUSES #58 - Rust

The sight of an old abandoned building or vehicle leaves me wondering about it's story.  Once this rusty old car was new, bright and shiny.  Likely it was some young man's pride and joy.   He might have courted his favorite girl in it, and later they might have taken their children for afternoon drives.   Now it sits here in a rural field, the prairie winds skipping dust devils through it's empty windows, stirring its secret memories.   How I wish it could tell its story!    I can't wait to see the rusty wonders you all bring to the challenge this week!
