Do you think you are ready to start this tradition? What a beautiful sight!!!


Here are the details:

Singin' The Blues!


Only a spring bird can pull off a successful concert of singing the blues, because it's those spring birds that feel the agony of the season changing from winter to spring. This poor little bird was ready to wear his new sunglasses, and yesterday instead of the sunglasses he needed snow boots. Now that is a good title for a blues song......Sunglasses for Snow Boots! :)

Which Came First?


Which came first the Granny or the Apple? :)
Since I was unsure of the answer to this question, thought I would make an inchie to celebrate them both. Until someone can determine the "Original" Granny Smith, we will just have to give them both credit for the sweetness they add to life. Afterall, nothing can top a Granny Smith pie, right?

!! Just Ordered !! (Tingtura Design)

I am always on the hunt for new images that are different and can capture the best of the imagination. When I purchase new images, I tend to search and search, with the idea of getting just the right image with just the right "artful" look.

Here is a link to the images that I have stumbled upon and am already in love! Just can't wait to get these in my hands and to begin inking them up. I spend months and months searching for the best image deserving of my hard earned money, and then once I order, I have no patience in waiting for them to arrive in the mailbox. ;)

Enjoy browsing the webshop listed above, and hopefully you find a few images to put in that ole' shopping basket. Let me know if you order something--I would love to know what YOU picked out.

More Inchies..................

This little mouse has a great imagination. The disguise appears to be working, that sleepy black cat, hasn't moved a muscle. :)
This little boy is a new generation of lava lamp lovers. The "lava" in the lamp is colored with glaze gel pens, and it really looks like "lava."

This is just a touch of golden royalty! Every girl wants to be a princess, right? Well, I am past the point of wanting to be a princess, now I am at the age of demanding the title of Queen.


This is a more artsy approach to inchies. This little guy poking his head in around the corner to show his support for always being yourself.

Just Had to Share!

This little inchie didn't photograph well, but the zebra is all decked out with a little touch of sparkle on his black stripes. The background is colored with prismas and gamsol and is a very light blue.
Who isn't trying to save a buck these days? This was an inspiration after a trip to the dollar store. Love that place!! If you didn't know EVERYTHING is a dollar. :)

This little retro guy is snapping a photo. Do you remember a camera that worked like that? Whew, that is retro! The smile stamp is a little stick image from Stamps By Judith.


This happy little lark is welcoming spring and the Easter season with a huge smile, and some BIG hair bling! Maybe, she is getting her picture taken, quite possibly by the handsome guy above.
Hope you enjoy-



All About Space




I am a really funny person about personal space. (just ask those who are closest to me.....hee-hee)
This little inchie is almost as overbearing as a person who can only interact with you if they are "inchies" from your face.
Blechy......
Anyway, since I love humor, thought that creating an inchie with some interesting perspective and giving a "shout out" or maybe I should say "snout out" to those of you who are also possessive about personal space.
Hope this little pink pig, who is all up in your face, brings a smile to your face this fine Friday--
