One World-One Heart 2009

I am so excited to participate in this worldwide blog giveaway extravaganza. This is the 3rd year of the One World-One Heart campaign, but the first year I have taken part. The purpose of this event is to get people exploring others blogs and make new connections.

On Feb. 12, I will use a random number generator to choose the winner of this 4×4 mixed-media canvas.

You must leave a comment on THIS POST to be included in the giveaway. Please leave your email in the comment. You may want to post it as: blahblah at yaddayadda dot com This way it’s more difficult for robot programs to pull emails for spam.

Be sure to check out the hundreds of other participant blogs from this list. Who knows, you might find someone really interesting and win something too!

I know that at least 2 of my art friends are also participating.

My day…



I made a couple more “busy bags” this morning after the kids dentist appointment.

Between lunch and another appointment, I took our boy and a neighbor kid sledding to a near by, awesomely big and fast sledding hill. A photographer for the local newspaper was there snapping photos…we’ll have to wait and see if our kiddo makes the paper.

Wine 2.0


We found that we wanted to record more info about the wines we’ve tried than would fit in the previous wine label book. This book is 5.5 x 8.5 twice the size of the old one. This should give plenty of room for details.

I still need to order bigger O-wires for the book but these will do until I get around to it. I also will make dividers to separate the kinds.

It’s funny because even as I finish this one I am thinking of Wine 3.0 …I think the next one will be a 3-ring binder type. Maybe an old cookbook.

Just a reminder…


Ever get tired of saying the same thing over and over.

My husband came up with the idea for the sign.

I used a stand left over from our old Candy Land game.

We’ll just have to wait and see how effective it is with our son.

Always a Bridesmaid


The 8×10 canvas board has had several lives, none of them pretty. So I keep covering them up and trying again.

This latest incarnation is in the style of Kelly Rae Roberts, well at least the background technique.

A little love…


Since it’s so dang cold here I thought maybe a little love could warm us up! Current temp here is -15 F.

I used mica on the left side of the image…I just know someone was going to ask. :)

The couple in the photo is of my Grandpa and Grandma Hanson circa 1929.

Recycled paper envelopes


While sorting through some stuff I came across an envelope template that I got at a garage sale this summer.

I remembered I had an awesome coffee table book about the Cayman Islands from the free shelf at our local library. Since a multitude of the photos are full page they seemed perfect to try the envelope template out on.

I’m getting the hang of the shape cutter tool(also a garage sale find).
