3-D canvas, what makes your heart swoon and adding a page to your blog

This is a painting that I created a long while ago. I painted a canvas then added thin branches on top of the painted vines along with a little nest of eggs and I added ribbons and fun fur for the tails of the birds along with a few flowers. Oh and a little lady bug climbing up the vine on the lower right side. See her ? This was a really fun canvas. I hope to try some more 3 dimensional canvases in the near future. I love layers and textures. I am very tactile. When I visit an antique shop and spot a large basketful of linens my heart skips a beat. I immediately B-line for it and have to find the most soft and pretty items to add to my linen closet. What makes your heart swoon whether it be in an antiques shop, thrift store, flea market, yard sale, etc?
I added a new page to my sidebar titled Vintage Images. It has all of the free images I have posted thus far. My father-in-law as a little boy is the image I chose for the link. How sweet he is, huh? Anyway, my friend and teammate Sharon, of Plumrose Lane has a tutorial on how to add pages to your blog here. She has free backgrounds and many other tutorials to help you with your blog.
