For all the followers of this blog - here is a give away just for you. You all have been wonderful over the past six months and I want you to have a chance at a wonderful book, Fabric Photo Memories, by my close friend, Lovey, who wroteit , laid it out, did the photography, and got it published!
This is a beautiful book which inspries and includes tips and tutorials, and features Lovey's Fabric Photo Collages. She is an artist in the truest sense of the word. I have admired her work for a while now. You can see some of K.C. Willis' influence in her work and yes, Lovey, takes it to a new height! SO, what do you have to do to have a chance at this Give Away? Just: 1) be a follower of this blog; and 2) leave a comment that you would like to be considered for the giveaway. We will do the drawing at 12:00 noon on Friday, Eastern Daylight Time. Best of luck.
And now to my weekend besides just whining about the time change..... I have worked on my final creation for our 6 x 6 swap and can only show you bits and pieces until the intended artist receives the pages. These creations were a little emotional - white on white - intended originally for Gina Wise, one of the six artists. God called Gina home right before Thanksgiving after she suffered a heart attack. Gina's friend Kathy jumped in to fill the void we all were feeling and so my pages are made, white on white, in memory of Gina's beautiful soul and spirit. I made four layouts on two sheets precut and pretreated by Gina.

Page two:
Page three:
And page four:
And let's not forget the tag:
So now, I need to wander and visit your blogs. It seems that although I had the last rad treatment on Thursday, I am busy every day after work at my trainers either doing cardio or a workout and then fixing dinner and still am not posting that much during the week. But we will work at getting better at this now that the "drama" in my life is quieting down. LOL And yes, you will get a few more Lizzie Borden peeks this coming week. Hugs to all and I do hope you changed your clocks!

Well, I came here from Lovey's blog..to enter..but even if I am not the winner, I'm so glad I did! Your work is wonderful! I really like the way your framed the faces on the vintage photos. I must read more about you- radiation? I am a breast cancer survivor, and I've been through that as well. I know you must be feeling the effects (tiredness from the inside out) and I'm amazed that you are still creating and managing a blog- good for YOU! I'm now a follower :-)
I came over from Lovey's blog as well and would LOVE this second change to win the book :)
I have started my own memory book, of my own family pictures. My whole family (just me and my older brother are still here) are deceased so the memorybook I am making is a tribute to MY family. Love to learn more ways about enhancing mine :)
Hugs from a new follower,

Good Morning from AZ where we don't bother with our clocks! I just wanted to tell you that I am a blog hopper from Lovey's blog and you my dear are a true inspiration to me. It is no wonder you girls are close! God Bless you and hopefully I will win this wonderful book of Lovey's. Money is so tight right now and I even considered buying it rather then using the money to eat but well my belly won out. Much love, Michelle in AZ
I add my congrats for your last treatment, and again, my admiration for your lovely white-on-white textures and images in your latest project. Lovely as always, Marlynn! Stay well, be well.
