Discoveries

"Discover" by D. Altaville c.2007

Just a recent Altered Journal Page as I ponder the New Beginnings and Ending Chapters of my life. There is so much going on here right now....both good and not so good. I wonder where it will all take me, and who I will become because of it.

A Thoughtful Tuesday.

Penelope Pumpkin

"Penelope The Pumpkin Princess"

A Recycled Art Doll by D. Altaville c.2007

Okay you may think it's a bit early for pumpkins, but this was done for a yahoo group challange.

AND I had tons of fun creating Penelope! Click on her to see a better view of her cute little head.

Anyhoo, the kiddies are going back to school in another week....and so before you know it, pumpkin time will be here after all. HA!

Hope everyone is enjoying summer's end.

Passages Of Time

"Love's Lost Innocence" by D. Altaville c.2007

Well, my first born son turned 16 yesterday. Whew! And the little guy just turned 5 at July's end. SO, He will be going off to Kindergarten soon, while the other one will be off to get his driving permit. It's all so bittersweet. Especially with summer almost over, I find myself getting rather melancholy, as another school year starts, another passage of time.

I have always been fortunate enough to be a stay at home Mom, and now I am finally free to have days to myself to devote to my painting and creating. But that doesn't seem to be in the cards. But we have fallen on some hard times, so alas and alack, as Murphy's Law would have it, I will probably have to look for some kind of part-time job during the day.

Yes, I know I should be thankful that I have had it so well all these years. And I am.

But still I would rather spend my days painting and really putting 110% into my art.

I guess we'll just have to see what Autumn brings.
