It's been an odd kind of day.....I persuaded DH to help me clean out the garage today in preparation for Winter....you know, clean out the dust bunnies, reorganise stuff and exchange the lawnmower for the snowblower...that kind of thing. 90% done and Hubby says - "Where are my golf clubs"?...........Hmmmm says I, no idea, but if they are not in the garage then they must be in the house! Large amounts of scrupulous searching ensues.......and sure enuff, golf clubs are no-where to be found - not behind doors, not in the basement, not decorating the desk in his study.........
Best guess is that one of our recent tradesmen, meter readers or some other "person" of interest has 'lifted" them from the garage. How sad! They are definitely gone, gone gone.
Irons aside, there are two important gifts amongst the Clubs. Both from my husband's time at DuPont and both with significant memories attached.
All I hope is that whoever has them REALLY enjoys them - or got enough money for them to pay for something special and important.
Tomorrow we will be checking out the local pawn shops to see if they turn up there. Really horrid to think that people will steal from you while your personal spaces are open and available for work.
Beware the 'folk' you let roam around your home is all I can say!
As an aside, the above piece is created from some new found ephemera and various overlays and textures that will soon be available as part of a tutorial that I am getting ready.
I've also had requests for some simple but easily done Photoshop videos and hope to get them posted in the next day or so.
Lots of the tips and treats for creating the digital images like these will be covered in my Art and Soul workshop next year - Lovely Layers and Magical Masks and my workshop Surface Magic has ONLY TWO spaces left...so don't miss out!
Marie! How sad!! Really, this is despicable. Why do people do things like this. I'll never get it.
I am catching up on your wonderful site and I hope when I get further along I find that you've recovered your purloined items.
This piece is really beautiful.

I'm already booked in for both and eagerly awaiting May!
As for the clubs, it's a sad fact of life that this happens. It just sucks, I know. You need to report this to the police -- if you haven't already, of course -- so that the golf clubs can go into their stolen property database, and so they also know that something happened at your address. Could be a rash of garage break-ins in your area as well, for example, and when they finally nab the culprit and search his premises, they'll need to know who owns the spiffy clubs they find! :-)
