Sneaking in some art time on Alumni Weekend

Its Grove City Alumni weekend, so I'm creating in between softball games. Mostly, putting finishing touches on things almost done, and progressing on a painting that isn't there yet..

Although not finished yet, this red poppies acrylic piece is coming along. Needs a lot of depth still. We'll see how that goes!  I am just a beginner in drawing and painting, but I really love doing it. I get such peace with a brush in my hand and the smell of paints in the air.

I did finish up some "scrap" cards...love using up the bits n pieces left over from other projects. And these get to be used in a swap too! Fun!

And I'll close with a pic from the ball fields. Our Cindi is the last of the Monaghan's (for now) to still be playing in the tournament.

Hello Blogworld.

I'm biting the proverbial bullet and jumping onto the blogging bandwagon. Just a little about me to start off.

I'm Kelly, known online for many years as chantryss. I live in Ohio, with my husband of many many years, and our chocolate labs and siamese kitty. I am lucky to have my grown children living near to me.

I have been a crafter, as far back as I can remember. I enjoy many artforms, but scrapping is by far my favorite. I have been digitally scrapping for several years, and started paper scrapping, stamping and card making a bit over 2 years ago, thanks to my daughter in law and best friend, Karen.

Now, I am a true addict, and find my life not feeling balanced if I haven't had a chance to be creative at least a few times a week. The same as most e4very other crafter I know!

So allow me to share with the cyber world some of my dabblings, and perhaps I'll make some new crafting friends along the way!
