SISC37~Luscious Lace! The Fabric of our Lives…

This was a fun challenge over at Stamp Insanity... use LACE! Well... I have a whole drawer full... so no problem there! I used Morgan and colored her with copic markers. Then I jazzed up my tree with stickles and gel and glitter pens. I added stickles to her outfit as well for a little holiday glam! I cuttlebugged the background and sprayed it with smooch spritz. I sponged it first for depth.I added my lace and added more stickles to the bottomto tie all the colors together. I hate that my post is late... I have had a horrible sinus infection,2 sick children one out of town hubby and a sisiter in my spare room! The hubby is home and the sister is gone(sniff) but the infection lingers on...for me and the babies... oh well...

 Here is a place I would like to go for a week...for some rest... but lo...it has closed...
Worcester State Hospital


On January 12, 1833, the first public asylum for the insane in Massachusetts was opened in the scenic hills of Worcester. It was called the Bloomingdale Asylum, and by the latter half of the 19th century, it was already overcrowded beyond capacity. Funds were appropriated to construct a larger and more grandiose hospital called the Worcester Insane Asylum in the same vicinity.


The hospital still functions as a psychiatric facility in a large, newer building near the Kirkbride building, which now threatens to close as well.
