Ragamuffin Gal

".. from my ragged heart to yours"

**ALL~ShOoK~Up~!~*







Dear Friends,

My 3 most favorite stamps
next to my swirls and flourishes.

I finally finished Relyn's Gift Box
that I have been working on
since April.
I had to get it just right and was missing
that extra special touch until
I got inspired
with an image from

Some of the goodies I am putting inside.
This is a picture of the box
almost done....
but needing a few extra touches.
Along the way to finishing Relyn's box,
I made this little broken winged gal.
Her wings are from an old hymnal (flea Mkt. find)
and the paper was so delicate that I tore her wing,
so notice on the right side there is a repair,
but I still love her.
I have been loving using this PID image
to create, her name is Grace.
Another experiment using a ragamuffin image
(from a vintage postcard).

Here is a picture of the finished box
It is filled with even more goodies and I cannot
wait to give it to Relyn.

Here is something fun my high school friend
Beth sent to me. I tried it and found out that
my song fits me well! Thanks Beth for sharing!

Picture this, if you will.

I have been busy for a few days because we have a friend visiting from Finland. So, no visiting all my favorite blog-haunts. Today arrives and it is a slow day with lots of time for being a mousepotato.

My first stop of the morning is to see my darling friend Katie.

And, THIS is what I find. All I can say is OH MY!!

OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!

YIPPIE!!!!!!!!!!

Love you. xoxoxox
