About Me

Sissy Dre was inspired by my father, Robert Felix Rosales, particularly his stylish clothes and big-hearted ways of being. My father was always open to any new hobbies or opportunities and especially enjoyed meeting new people. I take on this creative venture to honor him in my own way. Creating from scratch has opened artistic doors within me that I never knew existed and I hope this blog helps to inspire some crafty part of you too. 000000

Day of the Dead Couture Class

It was a special day for me. I was lucky enough to get into
a "Julie Nutting" class at "stamp you heart out" in Claremont, CA. today. 
The fist time I got to meet Julie was last weekend, at Glitterfest.
My daughter recognized Julie's art a mile away, and it didn't hurt that 
our booths were just a couple of table away from each other at the show, 
and we got to chat for a bit. 

When I arrived at class this morning, Julie & I said our hello's 
and then she stop'd and said Oh, I almost didn't recognized you
without your hat. You had to be there ~~~

Anyhow.... Julie is an awesome artist. She has been featured in Somerset 
Studio Magazine several times. Julie is funny, charming, and witty. 
Today we are learning the art of paper collage. We created an 8 x 10 project featuring one 
of her brilliantly designed works using a "Day of The Dead theme. 

Here is a couple of pic's from today's workshop ~

~ GF "Glitterfest October 2010"

Glitterfest started with a "meet & greet" party on Friday evening in Tustin, CA. 
I got to chat with Sheryl & Dianne's mom for a bit and enjoyed her humor, 
she is such a hoot, she a wonderful lady and of course is so very 
proud of her girls and this event. 

In the morning we all arrived and went to our assigned tables, 
and started the set-up process. 
This year Glitterfest had vendors outside and the doors remained
open durning the whole show, unfortunately that caused the AC to work on overload, 
and soon it became crazy hot.  I believe it was just a fluke this year, there
was not much anyone could to about it anyways. 

Lots of exciting elements of the day took place, a couple of photographers
from Romantic Home magazine came by to take pictures of my 
booth. No promises of getting published but will see, I'll keep you all 
posted. 

Here's some quick pic's ~ 





My daughter Samantha was a great help during the 
set-up and through out the show ~

Gift Tags Halloween Style

Hi Peeps ~

Three days till "GLITTERFEST" ~ what a rush ~ the factory
is cranking up the production......

I feel like I just went thru 3 batches of cookies.....
check it out ~




No time for cookies, just "Gift Tags" ~

Where did this energy come from?

I know where it came from... from JC in heaven ~ 
I talked with him for an hour this morning about so many
things, this is his way of saying you can do it.

Only Jesus can really say, "I know what your going thru"

Why?

~ Because He entered our World
~ He breathed our air
~ He shared our pain
~ He walked in our shoes, and then some

God is with us, believe that his word is TRUE!


Much Love to you daily ~
Sissy
