Definition: Aggregate is a collection of items that are gathered together to form a total quantity.

The fleeting moments of knowledge in which we discover our existence are facts that can be committed to memory. We can enlarge this aggregate memory and refashion it as we go through a lifetime. By saving these memories on paper and reconstructing the images of our lives. We see the art of our lives unfolding before us.

Face the brilliance of your most wonderful creations and dwell on your dreams.
I believe in teaching, the sharing of ideas and playfulness of creating.

Ohhh.... It is almost time to decorate the house and garden for Halloween.

Do I dare say that I love this holiday.

Here is a creation that I made for some girlfriends for card night a few weeks back.
I used a Tim Holtz Stamp for the skull and the Wallpaper stamp for the background.
And the sediment was from Close to My Heart.

SO what I did for the background....
