Give me magazines, glue stick, scissors, staples, sassy little 6 by 6 pages…
and I will build new rooms from pictures. Fast collages on the TV tray while I make Spanish delicacies with Gwyneth & Mario. You'll want to watch this series. It's 100% delicious and will give you travel ideas. And cooking ideas. And eating ideas.
Now I have to go back to my station and cut lace. Because I have OSCARS to watch! Rain is gathering. Chimichuri salmon is baking. Let me go cozy up in front of the television. Where's my furry blanket? 
Maybe my nice neighbor will bring me another hot brownie on a plate
with a scoop of vanilla ice cream like she did last night. Oh the good
things in life are very very good.
Love these images and the ideas for the make-over! If I lived next door I would bring you my famous made-from-scratch brownies! All of my 14 or so teenagers love them!!
I have been so engrossed in designing digital scrapping products and updating my store that I have been away too long from art journalling. You inspire me so to get back in my studio and get my hands dirty! Cheers, MA!
brownie on a plate?
Wow, you have them trained well.
You know, your way of displaying graphics on your site is so stunning and enviable, and if I ever stop swapping things with people and trying to learn a new thing every week and then forgetting how to do it again, I could learn so much from your site.
Let me catch the hell up, will you?
oops! Hi!
I really want to have some gifted 6 x 9 pages and some interior design shots to collage with. What has gone wrong in my life that I don’t have this?
Also, I don’t want you to redecorate. What a fabulous place you have. And that’s just judging from your photos. I’m not even counting all the sneaking around I’ve been doing while you’re training young collagists to live long and prosper.
I’ve been horrendously occupied and unable to catch up until today. And I am so glad I did. Because I was about to make a blueberry cake, which would have been a tragic misstep!
Please give me more stuff to catch up with!
bye!!
I left some peach cobbler with ice cream on your steps. Didn’t you get it? There is a fossil that will be showing up in the next couple of days. It’s called a clam steinkern,arly Cretaceous. It is an internal mold – actual fossil.
Beautiful collages. I love magazines too. What a great idea to build rooms like this. And your neighbor sounds like a sweetheart.
email to MA-
Dear MA, I don’t think we can be friends any longer if you re-do your studio and bedroom in the fashion of your collages. I just don’t think so. I will be so over come with jealousy that probably the only thing to fix our friend ship would be a big ‘ole slice of that cake but with extra frosting if you please. And maybe I will then need a nap with a cat.

I think this year’s Oscar show was one of the better ones of the last ten yrs. There seemed to be an emphasis on presenting it as entertainment rather than merely self congratulation. I also like to see the larger world become part of our awareness and appreciation. This is the first year in a long time that I did see all of the best picture nominees. They all deserved it.
The lamp would be good unless the cats jumped on it. I CAN visualize one hanging from the bar. Oh wait, that’s the “Hang In There, Baby” kitty poster.
I have that chandelier {sp?} and LOVE IT !!!…..we bought it 4 years ago for a different home and moved it with us here…I just couldn’t leave it behind !!!! AND….I have the pottery barn desks….that one and the projects desk and LOVE THEM, too…..you can’t go wrong with that company !!!
