going on in my day to day, i realized how ridiculous i am for complaining about things that can be fixed, things that really arent worth the stress i let them give me. i havent had a moment to think about anything outside of my small world.
taking breath and realizing that life can change at any moment. How terrifying to see and hear this coming at you and what do you do with a small amount of warning?!?
the people in Oklahoma are so resiliant. i watched them looking battered and shell shock saying things like, we will rebuild, we are alive,this is our home and we'll stay, God granted me two wishes.
I guess i'm partial to the Red Cross, they have amazing volunteers, but there are other organizations that are there to help, so we should rally around them.
Pray for those whose hearts are broken from loss of their loved ones and the horrible disruption in their lives.
this great pic was taken from my friend Cookie DeGreve's facebook page. She is amazing.
"Carol’s pieces are whimsical, and dare I say sweet, if sometimes on the slightly ...edgy and impish side. Her little people are about joy, fun, and nostalgia; but so much more. Spend just a little time looking and you’ll find lives in these little people - mischief, silliness, hints of stories and undercurrents."

Nostalgic Folk Art was born in 2004. I came up with Nostalgic Folk Art name for my paper mache figures because I love the older things that remind me of my childhood and of innocent times prior to the 1960's .They are figures of folks both childish and impish and I love vintage folk art so putting nostalgic with folk art was/is a perfect and fitting name for my lil figures and business.
And when your done visiting here, I'd love for you to check out my work on my etsy shop, www.etsy.com/shop/NostalgicFolkArt
