Artist: Sandra Vandergeest

I love the mixed media artwork of artist Sandra Vandergreest, who started her artistic life as a scrapbooker. Her ability at melding vibrant watercolor and magazine cut outs to create stunningly cohesive collages is truly amazing.I'm very jealous of her talent. Visit her flickr site or blog for more.

Romantic Notions

Romance is in the air...tomorrow is Valentines, a day my husband and I intermittently celebrate.I say intermittent because, as my hubby likes to say, everyday is Valentines for us. After nearly 20 years, that's a really sweet notion.He is a real romantic-even more so than I. The following images are all from a lovely tumblr blog I've been following- Little Pink Bag, who does a beautiful job curating romance and lots of pink (my favorite).
