- I've been married to my best friend for 46 years and we have three adult kids and three grand kids. Now that our children are grown it's time to have fun. My husband got into making and playing guitars and I got into making cards. I started with stamping, but very quickly fell in love with coloring digital images. I'm learning a little more every day. My passion is coloring animals. I can't get enough of them. I also enjoy sewing, crewel and counted cross stitch, although my eyesight makes that a little difficult now. I just retired and need to add quilting to my activities. A relatively new passion of mine is quilting. I tried once years ago and failed miserably. I figured retirement would be a good time to start over. I have made a couple quilts, but still, I am just a beginner. I have so much to learn.. The fun never ends! 0 comments

This is Tom's first guitar. It's made out of mahagony. His second guitar kit just arrived. It's going to be a beauty. It will be made out of Koa and will have abalone inlays on the fret board and gold hardware. I can't wait to see it completed.
This is Tom's second guitar project. It's made from Koa and has abalone inlays and gold hardware. He let me pick how this one would look. The inlays are absolutely beautiful!
This is the third guitar that Tom made. You can't tell in the photo, but this has a much glossier finish on it. It took weeks and weeks to get the finish right. I believe this one is mahagony also.

Diane, the link to your beautiful Easter card was accidentally deleted from the Avadares collection. Could you please add your link again?
So sorry. Hugs, Teresa
Hi Diane, I use the Spellbinders Grand Calibur Die cutting and embossing machine. I have worn out several so I buy a spare when they are on sale. After a while the middle part which gets used the most has trouble cutting cleanly. But you can also use a paper on top on the plates to create a shim that helps. Or move the dies around on the plate so they are not always being cut in the middle.
Hugs diane
