This is the second of a corrugated tag set of three that I've been working on. The first was awhile back and the theme was Paris. It had violets and pink hues in it. (You can look back in my older post's to find it if you're interested.) They all include music paper, some type of chipboard, one main focal stamped image (I'm using the re-released Acey Duey stamps from Stampington on all of them), and of course the corrugated paper.

I got some good news from Amanda Nolan at Stampington this past Friday. It looks like my "ATC's to Go" submission to Sew Somerset is going to be a technique based article in the winter publication. Yeah!! It's always great to get that kind of good news. I never, ever take it for granted or get used to being published, it is always an incredible honor. When you think about all the many, many talent artist's who send their work in for possible publication and then when you get picked, it's a very humbling.

I haven't been able to post as much to my blog as I want to right now. My arthritis is unfortunately probably the worst it's ever been. I'm starting to lose the use of my right hand and I of course am right handed. It's very scary. When you realize all that you do with your hands and that you might not be able to use it, it's very hard to come to terms with. My biggest fear is that it's going to get so bad I won't be able to create, use scissors, paint and so on. I just hope I don't lose any of my great followers yet. You all have been so kind and wonderful with your comments. I'm hoping that this is going to pass and my hand will feel better soon. Keep your fingers crossed for me because lord knows I can't cross mine. (a little arthritis humor for ya)
