Well, I'm trying something new. When I finish a mini scrapbook album I have to find it a new home. This one, "Gift of a Secret Garden", is going to find itself going to a member of the yahoo IOCSA group. First I have to share it here. It is a paper bag style album. Love the closure which is a jewerly hitch style clasp combined with chain. 75% complete with the sister album. That two will find a new home after I post some pics here.

I've been wanting these Julie Nutting Mix Media Paper Doll stamps every since I seen them two weeks ago. Well, look what I picked up from The Queen's Ink (
www.queensink.com) today....
All six of the first set.
I also got these cool hardware closures....
Recently I also made these hankie bridal dresses for a friend's high tea party last month. It looks like I'm on the roll again.
Will be back soon with some Gelli Plate pieces to share.
Be creative and share your talent.
Received my We are Memory Envelope Maker. UPS misplaced it for two weeks but after requesting a tracer I got it yesterday. I had the corrected measuring template ready to go and now I get to play.
Termra and I took a class with Ann Greenspan (
http://anngcrafts.blogspot.com) last weekend at our local Hobby Lobby store and we learned how to make rosette cards. Well, after we got home Termra could not stop. Here is a peek of what she created.
We know someone who is going to have a birthday soon.
A beautiful thank you card.
If you look harder in the right hand corner you will see a lovely embossed owl.
Well I'm off to put away my purchase haul from today (Michaels, Hobby Lobby, AcMoore and JoAnn Fabrics).
Well, the holidays are here and I want to share what I got under the tree. If you know me I'm all about inspiration and raw talent. My oldest son who has a God given talent gave my husband and I this self portait he drew himself.
I'm back... Here is the latest and greatest inspiration that I want to share with you from my recent renovation to our mobilehome. As you know we installed a wood burning stove but I wanted an appealing way to store the wood during the winter months.
Here is the inspirational piece -
And this is what I came up with using a Expedit Bookshelf from Ikea -
Once winter is over I can fill up with more family photos or my artwork.
Well, today the wood stove was installed and I'm so in love with how it turned out. Now I get to shop for new fireplace accessories. My contractor did a wonderful job in constructing the hearth and the installers said it made their job so easy.
Here is a pic of the rugs I got for all three rooms and I want to thank my sister for suggesting to get all three the same.
This picture says it all.
