Wonderful Valentine's Day surprise

I had a lovely day even though I had my daughter's cold. I got some flowers, necklaces, candy, and new Webkinz. The most fun thing I got was from my mailbox. I got the new Lynne Perrella book from Lisa Bissell-Paulson. I so need to thank her. It is really a good book. It is called Art Making: Collections and Obsessions.


It is different from her other books. This one is has a lot more assemblage in it. It also shows people's obsessions and collections. I love looking at other people's stuff. There are also artists in there that I am not familiar with. I will have to look online at their websites/blogs. The pages are big and shiny. The photography is great. The pictures are very large and show awesome detail. I have been carrying it around in my bookbag so I can look at when I have a chance. It reminds me that there is not one kind of art. There are so many different styles out there and so much to still explore.

Thanks so much Lisa!

I just received my copy of the book. We will have to compare notes when we have a chance to take a good look at it. I just love looking at the cover!
