We always make a point of stopping by the Ranger booth. They always have a fabulous art display and some fun Make & Takes.

These are shots of this year’s display.

This is a view of the entire Ranger booth. There is so much going on there. If you look real close at the left hand side you will see Tim Holtz giving a demo. Front and center at the Make & Take table is Debbie Tlach…

Debbie is a very gifted artist and quite possibly the most talented person I know. You can see some of Debbie’s work on her site, Artistgirl’s Muse. Debbie is also a grandmother. Yes, you read that right. Recliner Man doesn’t believe it either. He took one look at this picture and said, “No way! She is only in her 20’s!” I think Debbie looks so great on the outside because on the inside she has so much joy. She is as delightful as she is talented.

This is my Make & Take from the Ranger booth. We used their new Adirondack Pigment Ink pads and the new Inkssentials White Opaque Pen. I am thrilled that they are now offering the Adirondack colors in a pigment form and I love, love, love the white pen! It looks like just about every gel pen I’ve ever used and quite frankly, I wasn’t expecting it to be much different. I got a big surprise once I used this pen! The ink flows oh so smoothly. It was almost like painting. This is the white pen that you will need to run out and buy.

On a different note: I just want to offer my thanks to any of you who have ever clicked on the Google ad links. It’s taken nearly 2 years but there have finally been enough clicks that Google will be sending me a small check. It’s always been my goal to find a way for my site to pay for itself so this has me doing a happy dance! Thank you for your help!
