Will You Give Me a Hand?

Image from The Graphic's Fairy

I am venturing out to ask this because I really don't have an idea as to how to go about it.  I see that many of you post on particular days on a specific theme.  For example "I Heart Macro" for Mondays, "Texture Tuesdays", and "Bead Table Wednesdays.  
My question is, is there a collective list somewhere of all the theme's by day?  I'd like to see what is out there and possibly join to help me connect and blog more with you.  I find that I need inspiration and a little kick in the behind to get going and maybe this will help.  Anyone have a list?
Thank you and have a great week.

Lovey's been published

My blog friend Lovey from Fabric Photo Memories has published a very lovely craft book.  She is the writer, photographer, did the layout and got it published all by herself.  What an accomplishment, huh?


Lovey was one of my first blog friends who offered her suggestions and help while I learned to navigate the blog world.  Since, I've admired her work and dedication to preserving and honoring beautiful African American ladies from the 1700's and early 1900's.   She creates beautiful photo collages and essentially is archiving and preserving history.
Meet my friend Lovey


This is the cover of the book.  Isn't it beautiful?


Click on this picture for sales information.




Here are some samples of her collages.  I simply love the all the materials she uses in her compositions - vintage lace, jewelry, etc -  they adorn the photos just so.  Don't they make nice hanging photo collages?  







Here are some lovelies awaiting their turn.  

Lovey also has an Etsy shop,LoveyJ, where you can purchase her original work as she meticulously collects all her material and vintage findings for her creations.    

Friends I hope you enjoy perusing Lovey's work.  I am happy and proud to call Lovey my friend and hope you have the opportunity to become her friend too.  

Thanks my friends!
