I Believe She's Amazing - A Tribute to Mom

I often hear people talk about

their mother-in-law in . . . 

er . . . a less than positive light.

But God must have known that I 

needed a special woman to be 

my mom-in-law--because that's what I got.

Mom & me before she became ill.

So when I heard about this dance tribute

called "I Believe She's Amazing", 

I thought of Mom Lunt.

So, before you watch the dance video, I want to share 

something very personal about Mom. She is dying

with something called Inflammatory Breast Cancer.

As in every other phase of life, she is showing

courage & grace. 

Even as she struggles & suffers,
she continues to teach us--her children--SO MUCH.

I DO BELIEVE SHE'S AMAZING!

I'll bet you know an

amazing woman too.

Collage Art - Part 2

So, I wanted to try 

the collage art again.

(Please see the previous post about 

the inspiration piece at Hallmark) 

 

The last project turned out . . . 

just OK. 

(I hate just OK).

I like this attempt better

 I used a deep, square canvas this time & wrapped the

scrapbook paper around the edges. 

By the way, this is me using Mod Podge -

"Oh no!! The paper is warping! It's WARRRPPINNGG!"

Oh well, it turned out alright anyway.

I definitely recommend putting the Mod Podge

on the bottom first, letting that dry,

then putting it over the top.

 And, just using four kinds of scrapbook paper

seemed to work better than the fifty pieces I used on my

previous attempt.  :D

On the advice of Cathycan,
I used an ink pad on the corners to add a little character.

Warmly, Michelle
