ART is Personal

Art work can be both expensive and inexpensive but it is personal because Art speaks to a person's individual tastes and likes.  The same artwork can be interpreted differently by people, some can be offended and others not.  I like the American and Puerto Rican flags as art.  I hand painted a dining table with American flag design and covered an art canvas with the Puerto Rican flag.  Here are the photos

Is it really DIY if you get help

I enjoy DIY projects because I get a lot of pride knowing I did a project myself.  There are times that that DIY project can be a lot harder than it looks.  There may be a project that may be too hard to tackle and  you need professional trades people to help.  You can order the  materials and become the product manager on job, but its no longer DIY if you get a pro to finish the job.   It is hard to acknowledge when a job is too much to handle; but its better to get help now so  that you don't pay more in the long run for a DIY disaster.

My neighbors and I put up lights outside this year making this street the most lighted up this year.   Lights are pretty and joyful.   Here are some photos of my lights only.
























My scrapbooks

I enjoy scrap booking, it is relaxing and fun. My scrapbooks are time capsules for the future  I have one for current  events, for favorite things, for genealogy and for journaling.   It is good to   express yourself in a creative way to de stress from every day living.  Here are some of my photos
