The Gathering Nest: Colorgroupies July atc's blue & red

I love playing in my studio and seeing where my muse has taken me at the end of the day. I enjoy most all things vintage and love scouting out tiny little shops where you never know what you may stumble upon. I am also learning Photoshop and it seems to be taking over all my creative time, love it. I love playing with my border collie and golden retriever, they are a huge bright spot in my life. We have a new addition Max, a sweet little maltese that we rescued, he is so cute and full of it. I am happy that you flew into my nest. You are always welcome and I enjoy your comments.I have a huge update that I am so excited about. Tom and I have decided to open our own little gift and consignment shop. We are calling it The Gathering Nest Gifts & Consignment. We will be located at 6 Clarence St. West, Port Colborne, ON Canada. If you are in are area drop by and browse the nest, it will be full of everything vintage and lots of unique gifts and collectibles. We will also be carrying lots of goodies for the mixed media artists. We would love to see you.

Colorgroupies July atc's blue & red

for Caryl

for Lenna

for Frieda

for Tristan

I know these have arrived safely to all the players so I can post them now. The color theme for July was blue & red and I played with ARTchix images for these ones. Also painted paper doilies for the collars.

Nora Johnson said...: Hi Debby!
Just stopped by to say you’ll be relieved to read you’re not the latest “tagging” victim in Lola’s latest post! (Or at least not when I last checked...!!)

Loved your post as always especially the doilies. You are so clever!

Have a wonderful day & see you again soon!
