Welcome to My Blog

Well, my daughter finally convinced me to start a blog. I am not exactly sure what I'm doing so bear with me if I'm less than exciting to begin with.
I am retired and have lived my entire life in the Midwestern United States. I have five wonderful children who were and are the most important things in my life. I have four grandchildren, two beautiful little girls and two rambunctious little boys. I was married in December to a wonderful man; so technically I guess, I'm a newlywed and very happy.
I love artistic expression in any form, be it literature, sculpture, family histories, photography, collages, paintings, sketches, etc. I have beeen working the past couple of years with Paint Shop Pro and have been creating shop tags, web designs, logos, Family History charts, photo collages and my most recent creation are collage sheets made from vintage images I have purchased and scanned and put together. I've included a picture of one of my collage sheets. I have an Ebay store, Ruby Door Designs. Please feel free to stop by.
Going to visit family in the hospital this weekend so that's all for now.
