Creating…..

 

I am working on some very important tags….my friendship banners.  They are going to represent what my blog means to me…..it has been interesting this time.  The creative process has been enjoyable instead of stressful and I am thinking about  these years of blogging and the wonderful friends I have made…..

So here is a peek……sorry the photos are a little blurry, but I don’t want you to see everything! :)  Not yet, anyhow….

I make such a mess when I am crafting…..but I sure enjoy it!  

Have a great day!  

A Fun Little Vacation

I had a very dear friend come down from Colorado on Thursday just to take a bit of a break, I dropped her off at the airport this morning.  Miss her already….We had so little time to see and do all I wanted to show her in my craft room, but I did get to share all of you with her, she wasn’t real sure what a blog was……silly girl! :):)

We went out a couple of times but not for long in this heat…here is my stash…..

On sale for 2.50 each at Kirklands…

I LOVE paper straws!!! There were from the 4th of July…..

We went to JoAnn's and I normally do not buy scrapbook paper there, as I love my lines I buy at the scrapbook stores….but this was just too cute, very reasonable and I think it will make a cute little book, I have someone in mind for it already….

 

Up close….I love the cardboard embellishments, have a real weakness for them!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Isn’t it cute?  Fun fall  colors…..

Some sweet little tapes from Martha….

We went to Michaels and they had there little teacher display….

So……time to change some borders!  POLKA DOTS!!!!!  And Red!

They also had it in bright blue, fun green and yellow all with these sweet white polka dots….I went looking for some doilies that Sweet Bee talked about but could not find them…..but this made me happy…:)

In the mail……

Guess what I am doing with these?????

Here is a hint….

Sweet little bird clips…..

A wonderful vintage scrapbook full of my kind of cards….I went through and got what I wanted and gave the rest to Meri…

A while ago, I bought this wonderful frame from Lindsey from Two Crazy Crafters…..I made a copy of a favorite photo of my Mom and taped it in……

Isn’t this just perfection??????  This is on my dresser in my bedroom, I whisper “Good Night Mom” every night….:)  Thank you Lindsey for giving me the perfect frame to hold my sweet Mom!

Thanks for stopping in…..I suppose you notice no photos of my and my friend????  Weight issues on both sides and just not comfortable with it…but the memories are in my heart where they never leave….:)  And last but definitely not least, A fun gift from Cheryl, she knows how I love these Christmas tags….

I am seeing these used on some fun Christmas banners…:)
