Where Artistic Memories Begin by PAM HAIRFIELD

"Vintage Beginnings" is a place for me to document and share my thoughts, family, inspirations and creativity. They "begin" here for your enjoyment, as well as mine and some day, they will be "vintage" and hopefully, a link to my history.







MIXED MEDIA ARTIST

My photo
My name is Pam Hairfield. I have been creating most all my life, from paper crafts to sewing to needle work and everything else, in between. I would describe myself as a versatile, Mixed Media Artist. I have previously volunteered my time and craft experiences with senior citizens and as a leader in Girl and Boy Scouts. It gave me great satisfaction. Since being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 12 years ago and having to retire from nursing, my passion for creativity and self expression has kept my mind and heart open. I am consistently discovering new art techniques and perspectives, by taking workshops, reading, experimenting and sharing with other artists. This not only fulfills my own satisfaction, but will allow me to share my learned knowledge and encourage the process and creativity with others. I live with my loving husband of 28 years, who supports all my quirky ideas and 3 rescued dogs, Cody, Sam and Lily. I have three married children, 2 grandchildren and a third due next February. My life is full and I couldn’t be any happier!

WHERE I'VE BEEN

Hey Friends, Yes, it has been a while since I've last posted. My trip to NY to see my family went well, but as usual, it's nice to come home. I have been cleaning up my craft room, doing a little re-organizing, purging some old stuff I no longer use and making room for all the new goodies I see coming out! It makes me Happy! I just bought some of Tim Holtz's new distressed inks! Ooooo..... is all I can say! My current project is in full swing and I'm almost finished. I am on my last layout of my wedding album that I have been working on for over a year. Oh, by the way, I have been married for 27 years, but better late than never! Until next time...
