It's yet again Sunday In Arizona

The weeks have been so busy with work and play.   
Charity events and craft shows really kick into high gear in the Fall.   
All things for which to be thankful.

 Perhaps you are playing along with the 30 Days of Thankful on Facebook.  If we each take one minute a day to think of our "Thankful Things", I bet we will all feel a little better about our self and our surroundings.  

I did an exercise once where we were all asked to comment on one thing nice about our spouse.   I was shocked when I stopped to think about it and realized all the good things there were that I rarely acknowledged.   Not because I did not appreciate them but simply because I was too busy, or took them for granted or........so it's time to say thanks before I get busy again.....

I am thankful for our Wonderful Design Team and all the amazing creativity they bring to our lives.   I am thankful for all the truly wonderful customers AlteredPages has.   I am thankful for all the fantastic bloggers who add to our lives everyday with wisdom, beauty and inspiration.   I am thankful for all the friends I have made in the Art community.   And that's just a small sampling of my thankfuls!


Please feel free to be thankful in your comments...get it out there for everyone to see and read.   

Thankful for the color aubergine, the palette of your paints, the paper that inspires your work and certainly for the people who help your muse appear!

    I'm thankful I just found out you're here in AZ. Where are you and why weren't you at my bloggers luncheon yesterday.......:o) Keep an eye out for my upcoming post by this next weekend for how the luncheon turned out. I used to teach altered art at Mystic Paper, and now I'm going to be teaching a class at "Craft Fusion" in February.

    Hugs,
    Meri

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
