Sweet, sweet 3 charms on a ring. Love it. Thank you, Ellen Rigor.

ArtVent is so Special

I have to take a moment and say that the whole ArtVent experience has been a wonderful testimony to the sharing of artworks among artists that is a delight to behold in the palm of my hand. 31 artists came together to produce 31 pieces of art, in this case charms, to share with each other in the joy of exchange and friendship. I thank Karyl Howard for inviting me to be part of this most pleasurable experience. I thank all 31 artists, too. It is a art exchange that I will treasure each time I wear the charms.

ArtVent Day 17

This is so precious, a darling charm from Bev Powell. On the back it says 'the voice of the sea speaks to the soul' now that is well said. I love it. Thank you.

ArtVent Day 16

Today the charm is really a tiny little book, so cool. Every charm, each day, has been a different and delightful piece of art. Truly amazing. Thank you, Karyl Howard, the great hostess of the event. I let my Mom open today's charm because we go out shopping on Thursday morning, She thought the little book was so pretty and clever and asked if I was hanging them on a branch, maybe she should have been included in the artvent, too. My Mom will be looking for a branch from her yard for me to hang my lovely charms on. She still spoils me!!!

ArtVent Day 15

Just look at this little darling charm, it's polymer clay, can you imagine? So delicate and it's as light as a feather, thank you, Cory Dankocsik.

My Charm Box

For right now, I have all my opened charms in this stationary box that has a clear top. Look how great my charms look, there are also the packages that I will be opening in the next couple of days in the box, too. It looked so nice that I thought I would show you, I like how the charm box of Day 2 just flopped over so nice when I went to scan the box. Pure luck on that one. Everyone has their tree branches (wish I had one) but I have my little box.

ArtVent Day 14

Not one but 2 pretty charms from Teresa Holt. Just darling, thanks, Tesera.

ArtVent Day 13

This is a cell phone charm and the windmill is a reddish orange but the scanner picked it up as pink. Thanl you, Beth Holt.

ArtVent Day 12

Look at this little lovely flower, a felt flower in green and blue. Thank you, Denise Lombardozzi, love it. Simply charming!!!

ArtVent Day 11

Lovely charm, all coppery orange with red beads. Thank you, Dana.

Very cool charm by Nancy Conelly and a very lucky chance that I would get a charm with the initial M on it. That is my last name M. Too cool. Thank you, Nancy.

ArtVent Day 9

Look at this little creative charm, I thought it was a TV but it is the maker, Jane Johnson, alma mater Virginia Tech. So clever and so different. You go girl.

ArtVent Day 8

Isnt she angelic? Sweet, Maureen Doeer, thank you. I opened her last night at 12:15am just before I headed for dream land. I think I like opening up my charms after midnight.
