Alicia at Alicia's Art Shop
Hello everyone and Happy Pink Saturday!
Special thank you to Beverly for featuring me today ♥
My name is Alicia and my blog is AliciaArtShop. I like to start each blog post with a quote that captures what I hope the day will bring. I love quotes and I try to find one that matches my life at the moment. I create mixed media and believe that I've found my perfect creative outlet. In the past, I've done tole painting, taught pen and ink classes, designed sewing patterns, etc. etc. I have always been working on some project. Mixed Media allows me to bring together all that I've learned in the past into one medium. I love working old vintage text from antique books or vintage photos with new inks, paints, and original sketches. My first choice is to create on wood. I love the heaviness of it and the texture. When I work on larger projects I use canvas.
Pink Saturday is so much fun to participate in and I want to give a shout out of thanks to Beverly for organizing it each week! It is always so fun to view the submissions and visit new blogs.
As a special thanks to Beverly....I will be doing an ART CARD give away! I will randomly choose someone to win their choice of an Art Card from my etsy shop. Just visit my aliciaartshop blog and be sure to leave a comment so you can be entered in the drawing!
~Alicia♥
Your house looks so patriotic Beverly! Thanks always for hosting.
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

Happy Pink Saturday!!!
It's a hot one in Missouri....supposed to hit 104 here today.....eeeeeeek. It feels like it already, but it's not.....yet.
Love your 4th of July decor on your porch....what a picture perfect look!!
Sadly, I have to keep wearing my splint til the END of July!!! Actually, he told me 6 weeks ago that the particular little hand bone I fractured is not an easy one to heal...but it is healing nicely.....and I can sleep without the splint YAY.....and I can take it off 5 times a day and start trying to regain the flexibly in my wrist...carpal tunnel type stretches. It's amazing how quickly things tighten up when they're not being used. I did pick up another set of liners for the splint.....that thing makes my little hand and arm sooooo hot that I do need to change the liner several times a day and they are tight on handing them out at that place! I now have 6 so I don't have to keep my washer/dryer going all of the time just for them. :)
Got a lot of stuff to do.....I'll return when I have more time to visit the other blogs.
Have a great weekend.....and keep cool.

Hi Beverly, thank you for your comment about the girls. I agree they look like their mom. Maggie does look a lot like her dad's family as well.
Your beautiful home is a pleasure to see anytime of the year. Your design and Ray's tender loving care makes the best landscaping anyone could have. My dad always had a beautiful yard as well. He and the yard were one. Smile.
I finished my post at three on the minute. Then I had a correction to make before I linked. I see Dana is on it again. She is so good at timing it perfectly. I need to visit her next. The State Park has internet service. I am hoping I will be able to post and visit next week.
Gotta run. It is getting close to zero hour for cleaning and packing.
Love you much,
Jeanne

Hi Bev! Hope you have had a happy 4th - we've had lots of excitement around our part of the woods - not at all anything to do with fireworks, though! Addressed that a bit in my post today - and much more to come! Joy!
