Will you not open your heart to know

What rainbows teach, and sunsets show?

Well, here goes......my first post on my new blog!

Well, I started this as a fun way to journal and date my artwork and it's progression. I have been a custom framer for nearly 30 years and have decided to combine my love of all things old and primitive with my love of custom framing.

Each piece is created on a hand made box frame with colonial inspired decoration.

I decided to name this blog after my sweet granny,

Laura Belle Henderson Campbell. One of the most creative people I have ever known. She was a quilter, painter, and an incredible journalist just to name a few. She had a great appreciation for all things old;

she kept every letter and card she had ever received.

I always knew she was a special person but, only after she died did I actually realize all of these truly wonderful things about her.
