Do you have an old bulletin board?

Before you put stuff out for the trash look at it to make sure that you can not give it new life.

My husband Dennis drop off an old tv at our local recycling center and pick up this bulletin board.






Just buy adding a coat of paint, glue, and some glass gems from my local Michaels craft store I gave this old bulletin board new life.

Kisses to Heaven Mosaic piece

I'm so happy with my fiery piece "Kisses to Heaven" and "Free Spirit".  My only son Chris passed away on Dec. 5, 2010 so this has been a hard year.  I find great pleasure and closeness when I'm working on a new mosaic.  My son was a gifted artist since I can remember.  I knew I had a very special boy when he was three years old and only colored in the lines and made sure his other young friends did the same.  As time went on he grew into an awesome artist.  I miss him joining me in my studio and commenting on my new piece.  So now I can only speak to Chris spiritually and push myself to create a mosaic piece better then the first and I love it and find great comforted in getting lost in my creation .

education and programs including “Save the Earth – Save our Future”.

tireless devotion to making Morristown a more sustainable community.

April 17th at the Earth Day celebration in Lewis Morris Park. The uniquely designed mosaic
