Bottle Trees

I love bottle trees. I want one. But I want cobalt blue bottles for my bottle tree. The only way I can figure out how to get blue bottles is to drink wine, Not real crazy about wine. And I wonder if you display a bottle tree in your yard are you telling the world "Hey look at me. I am a big wino. Come party at my house."  If you want to check out some great bottle tree examples check out this website. Wow it is inspiring. You might want one too after checking out this site. http://www.felderrushing.net/BottleTreeImagess.htm

I am soooo clever

I was sitting and thinking about some new tarot cards I need to do since I seem to have a one track mind anymore. Besides it beats thinking about all the stuff I need to list on Ebay and Etsy blah blah blah. (maybe I need to do the tarot spread below). So I came up with a new name for what I do!!! I am so excited because sometimes I think I am so clever. Of course if I don't think I am clever who will? So my new name for my cards are  (drumroll please)

FAUX TAROT!! I design faux tarot cards. I will never claim to know what I am doing when I do these cards. They are strictly for my enjoyment and hopefully others get a kick out of them. I am smart enough to know that my FAUX TAROT will never make me any dough.

My Homage to Tarot Spreads

It seems that tarot readers love love love to come up with their own tarot spreads and they really love when others use their idea for a tarot spread. There are some pretty great spreads out there. One of my new favorites is called the Why is that? spread. This all started by Jacki Smith from Coventry Creations and finalized by Strom Cestavani on his blog http://www.psychicfriendsblog.com/. Check it out. While you are at it check out the amazing candles at http://www.coventrycreations.com/. But that got me to thinking about having my own spread. Why not??? So here is my homage to Jackie and Storm and all the other creative tarot masters of the world. It is called ----------- are you ready for this???

OPEN UP A CAN OF WHOOP ASS SPREAD
Just a simple three card spread.

1st card- How is my laziness working for me?
2nd card-What do I need to be honest about (with myself?) We are not blaming others here.
3rd card- What do I need to know in order to get off my butt and start doing  something about it?

So if you are a big time procrastinator maybe this can help you out. At least you might get a big chuckle out it. Well that is if you actually stopped procrastinating and did the spread!!! Oh and one last suggestion. Use one of your light hearted fun decks. We can't take ourselves to seriously. I am going to try this spread with my All Hallow's Deck by Robyn Tisch-Hollister. I just recently bought this deck and I love it. You can pick this deck up at Leisa Refalo's site http://www.tarotconnection.net/. I have added a couple of Robyn's cards. Perfect for this spread heh?

Robyn must have seen me after a bit of road rage

Your children's stuffed dolls will never be the same.

I like this card. If the spread does not work just drink 9 glasses of wine. Of course at this point you won't be getting off your butt, you will be falling on it.

Bottoms UP!!!!!!

Playing with Alphas Part III or IV or who knows

I have a hard time resisting playing around with unusual alphas. Okay I will just say it, I have a hard time not playing around with digital scrapping. Now if I could only get it together and actually scrap family photos.

Some of my First Works

I think I spelled Personally wrong. Oh well that is an easy fix. Hmm I guess I have never heard of spell check.

These pages are some of my first works. Cards you dont really have to know the hidden meanings too like tarot. These are plain and simple reminders of everyday life.

Dio De Los Muertos

My contributation to Day of the Dead. A popular day in Mexico to celebrate their dead.

Happy Halloween

I was playing around with different fonts for this card. After I picked out the alpha style I then designed the background. I could not make up my mind which one I liked best. But then again why do I have too?

If only I had a copy to this book. Would I ignore the wisdom and still do my own thing? I want to think I hoped not but we all have free will and all seem to like to learn the hard way. This book might end up on a dusty shelf never being read. Sad but true.

Pre-Halloween

Happy Wabbit

There has been a new edition to the Tarot deck by some illustrators and authors called the Happy Squirrel card, Hatched from a Simpson show where Lisa gets married and goes to see a Fortune Teller. Well I love the concept of the Happy Squirrel card and decided to have my own card called the Happy Wabbit. But he is known by many names. The Trickster Wabbit, Magical Wabbit and Silly Wabbit. He is popping up everywhere in the cards. He just can't help himself it seems. Oh well, he is pretty cute so what the heck. Who knows when and where he will be popping up next.

More Tarot Business Cards

More Cards. I am hoping these print out okay. I won't know until I try. Hoping this weekend to give it a try.
