I had a wonderful group of ladies come to my Vintage Arts Studio to learn how to create a Miniature Keepsake Scrapbook. Everyone brought their own assortment of fabrics to make it their "own." We all got busy creating the pages with fabric, cardstock (to make the pages more stiff), and by xyroning them together. Each of them made 5 to 6 signatures for their book.
Notice the package of ephemera that we gave to each of the girls...to get their ideas flowing for embellishing later.
My mom (Marilyn) and I both taught this workshop together. She brought over her vintage Singer sewing machine and I had my Singer ready to go ~ she and I stitched the signatures onto the binding piece as the girls completed them.

My oldest daughter, Sara and I (who is pregnant with our first grandbaby ~ yippee!), took a Digital Photo Watercolor class from the Kansas City Art Institute recently. On a couple of the days the instructor had us meet at the Muriel Kauffman's Memorial Garden just east of the Plaza in Kansas City ~ an amazing place to see if you've never been. I took photos of the beautiful and interesting assortment of flowers that could be used as reference for our paintings. I spent the entire session photographing my "baby girl" from all angles, sitting on one of the many benches, and the endless blooms that caught my eye! It was a beautiful day in many ways!
