To all of my mother's Renderosity friends:
It saddens me to no end to tell you that my mother, Mina, passed on May 31st, from endometrial cancer. She is survived by my father, Roger, and myself. I apologize for not letting you all know sooner, but her passing has left me with a broken heart and it is very hard to write this, even now. I don't suppose there will ever come a time that it will be easier.
I know how much she loved you all, how much it meant to her to have met such wonderful people, and how much it meant to her to create & share her art with you. I am leaving her work here for a while, as tribute to her, her beauty, her talent & her love.
Brightest Blessings to you all!
Heather
 Mina's daughter
Thanks to all for stopping by and hope you enjoy your visit.

After that the critics can write what they please.
I have already settled it for myself so flattery
and criticism go down the same drain and I am quite free.

Fantastic, Mina! What great fun seeing you in these photos. The captions are priceless. Thanks for the smiles. Sometimes during cleaning we stumble upon something that evokes memories or life lessons and it makes the work seem worthwhile. (I hate to clean! I'd much rather work at the computer). That said, I'd better get back to mine. You are brave to tackle your garage. I am trying very hard to ignore mine. : )

very cute collection and collage.you were pretty back then also.I remember having to use a metal tub to bathe in and how cold it was during winter

I think you looked pretty normal in your teens though going fishing in curlers is a laugh though I guess you had a hot date that night. Lovely to see a glimpse of you and I guess you would have had a great time going through all the old photos. Excellent collage.
