Keeping Busy With More Artful Kits....


The tragic events of yesterday have my heart feeling ever so heavy today. I know that I am not alone in this sentiment. Whether you live in the Boston area like myself, or miles, states or even countries away....we are all together in feeling the "aftershocks" of such a senseless act of violence. In moments like these I pray...I hope.... and, truthfully, I feel helpless. Nothing soothes the heaviness we all feel but being creative takes my mind off of such sadness, if only for a moment. So I got busy photographing my new artful kits and assembled a few more (that, after walking the pond, cleaning out the garage, packing and carrying my winter clothes into the attic, and putting 4 barrels of recycle "curbside").

So here are my newest Bookcovers Bits & Bobs....
