Masquerade Masks

Hello there!  I've been away for quite a while I know.  I have three daughters,who in all honesty, are all consuming! I'm blessed by their presence in my life and it clearly is demanding a shift in what appears on my blog.  I had been attempting to keep my family and blogging separate for the most part, but what I've come to realize is that my creative life is my family - they're one in the same.  I interject creativity any moment I can as often as I can - in the midst of the day to day routine stuff.  So, you will notice a bit of a shift in my blogging, but I hope that I still can offer something of value and interest. 
With that said, here is a snipit of a recent creative endeavor in my household.  My two oldest daughters recently attended a middle school masquerade ball, where they each made their own masks for the soiree.  My mom and I got in on the action with the gold and black mask below.  (The gold one was made from a plaster of my daughter's face.)  It was so much fun!  Even if it lead to a very late night! ;)
