I knew summer was winding down, but I couldn't believe my eyes when I went to the store the other day. Was I surprised by the aisles devoted to Back-to-School supplies? No. Was I taken aback by the Halloween decorations? Yes. But most shocking - there was an aisle getting prepped for Christmas! Seriously?
I love the holidays. Luuuurve them! But even I, the girl who has Christmas CDs stashed in her car when she feels the need for some Bing Crosby, have trouble thinking about a White Christmas when it is over 90 degrees...
I will admit, though, that I am so jazzed about Halloween! One of my favorite holidays ever! What is it about Halloween that evokes such good nostalgia? Is it the candy? The costumes? Even the colors of Autumn and Halloween are great. Ripe pumpkin and blazing scarlet, deep purples and midnight black, goblin green... Scrapbooking Halloween pages is fun because there are almost always good pictures to scrap, too. Kiddos in costumes, and Halloween parties...

JAN~ hocki1415Late at night burns a little light in the corner of my studio. It is there that you will find me drawing, cutting, shading and gluing as though there is no tomorrow. If you are like me, the hours seem like minutes when those scissors or chalks are in hand. I love this art!
I have many crafty things that I like to do. A few of them are knitting, crocheting, sewing, painting and gardening. I love to do them all. There is just not enough time in the days to
do it all anymore.
I also love to make people smile; I hope that selling my pieces will make that person smile when they see it as an accent to the fun cherished photos in their scrapbooks.
I have three boys that have inspired me in many ways through the years. They have done some crazy, fun things; and I have had to scrap all of those things. I also have two
doggies, three tortoises, and a pond with twenty-two koi in it. And I can’t forget my hubby, Randy, who is the backbone of this family. They are all what keeps me up and running.
Joining BTDL has been a great experience for me. All of the ladies are fun loving and genuine. I want to thank them for
giving me this opportunity to share my art with you and with this very talented group.
You know I have to say that these ladies are like
sisters to me. They are a very close group that
pulls together when one of us are in need. It is
wonderful to be involved with so much talent
and love.

Hi, my name is Sandy and I am so proud to have been part of BTDL since the beginning. I marvel daily at the art work produced by my fellow team members, and they give me something to aspire to. My claim to fame is my Star Albums, Jacob’s Ladders, and Explosion Boxes. I love making unique and “out there” mini albums, and I’m always looking for new ways to create them. My three grown children and my husband of thirty-five years inspire me. I have been a crafter for years, making dolls, quilts, knitting and crocheting, but what I am currently doing is the most satisfying. Since none of them are crafters, they just shake their heads when they look at what I’m making, but they are always supportive, even though they are clueless. Speaking of children, we were empty nesters for about four months, but now the revolving door policy has gone into effect. My youngest daughter tried her wings, but is now back home, and if she follows in the footsteps of her brother and sister, she will move out and move back several times before she finally finds her niche. I am so pleased to be a part of this group! If you have any requests for a star album, Jacob’s ladder or Explosion Box with a specific theme, please get in touch with me at sandyvint@cabelone.net and I will see if I can accommodate you!
