Why
did you join NLWM?
I have been participating in projects like this for
the past year and I enjoy writing letters, making cards and getting to
meet new friends. NLWM was a perfect fit.
Is this your first year?
yes, it is my first year
Tell us a little bit about your Blog
My
blog was started in 2006 when I really did not know much about the
process. Over the years my Blog has evolved into a place to show case
my travels and my art. It also allows me to talk about how I face my
inner critic (Gertrude). Last year was my most prolific year of
posting, 109 posts. This year I plan to exceed that number even if it
by only one. I have written review of friends art books because I
believe in supporting them in their endeavors and I have even been part
of a blog hop. That was really cool.
My
goal for my blog in 2014 is to get 100 followers. I currently have 51
and I am so excited. Who knows what the end of the year will bring.
What is your favorite medium to create with?
Black Gesso. I love the look and how other colors play off of it.
What inspires you?
Life
inspires me. I am a 3 year cancer survivor and I treat everyday as an
adventure. I love art, I love my church and my family and friends.
Travel inspires me immersing myself in the sights and sounds of other
cultures is amazing. I love to take pictures of the food and life of
the people in the various counties I have visited.
Other artists such as Georgia O'Keefe, Jessica Sporn, Katie Kendrick and Mary Ann Moss inspire me.

and next , my pal Janet Forrest - and her blog
We met years ago in the begining of the scrapbooking craziness and then reconnected just a few years ago....
- Why did you join NLWM?
As
a "friend of Lindsay" I saw her chatting about the letter-writing group
and it sounded like fun! So, even though I was scared to be playing
with the big girls (so much talent in this group!) I jumped in!
- Is this your first year?
This
is my second
year doing NLWM. I Like getting "happy" mail instead of just boring old
bills and junk mail, plus I love the camaraderie - letter writers are
the nicest people!
- Tell us a little bit about your blog
My blog, Tattered 'n Worn
started off as a way of documenting the creative journey I began in
2011. I had owned a creative business for 20 years, then sold it (or
traded it in for grandchildren!) and although I loved my my new job as a
Gaga (Hannah-speak for grandma) I realized I was withering inside from a
lack of creative endeavors. So, I began blogging about what I was doing
to once again begin living a creative life. Since then it has become my
voice in the world, and although I still focus mainly on all things
creative, I talk about whatever is on my mind, and in the process I
have rediscovered my love of writing.
- What is your favorite medium to create with?
My
favorite - hmmm...I would have to say at the moment I LOVE mixed media.
I love paint, chalk, pens, fancy paper, all kinds of embellishments. If
it can be stuck on something, I pretty much love it! But I also adore
making jewelry, scrapbooking, photography, sewing, wood-working and
re-purposing stuff.
- What inspires you?
Other
creative people, magazines, nature...seems like I'm getting inspired by
just about everything. I'm just a crazy girl who needs to make stuff!
