Finished necklace #1

So all I did after making the pendents the other night was add a jump ring and chain. It makes for a quick and cute statement necklace.

***Don't mind the bad image the other caused a little stir on Facebook. Funny but not funny at the same time.

Work in progress

So I started to work on these tonight. What are they? Well they are wood pendants I thought about collaging them,but in the end decided to paint them my current favorite colors coral and turquoise and stamping on them. And just to make sure the stamp imaging don't fade or wear off I mod podged over them. I think they are cute now I have to figure out what to do with them. Hang them off a simple chain? Do beaded necklace there are lots of choice aren't there? Ttys

In my minds eyes lost & found Sunshine

Today I did some shopping with mom. We went to AC Moore and Michael's. I ended up treating myself to a 6x6 pack of MME lost and found paper because they were 40% off and I purchased Teresa Collin's Sophisticated cartridge along with some great little stamps set from Hampton art stamps. I made the following cards using my new stuff plus some MME stamp sets I had at home and some vintage seam binding I have had hanging around. I think I'm starting to break out of my box a little bit. I'm trying to use my pattern papers and I think so far I'm doing pretty good.

Newest addition to the craft room

I mentioned that I got a metal cabinet from Ollie and I was hoping it would work in my craft room so I could get some stuff off the floor well it works perfectly! I have it next to my china cabinet and you can still walk through the room. It is hiding my magazines and some other not so pretty thing that were in baskets set on the floor. This is sooo much better. I'm hoping it will get a new coat of spray paint soon (whenever dad gets around to it), but I'm just happy to have it for the moment!

This morning before heading out for a ride on the motorcycle I whipped up this card. It's very similar to yesterday but instead I went tall with the card. I again am use up scraps from my tea pot card from last week. Supplies: K&company paper (old), vintage seam binding, cuttlebug embossing folder(organic flourish), distress ink (worn lipstick, tattered rose), sentiment (CTMH card chatter sympathy), decorative brad (CTMH). I hope you have a wonderful Easter. I will be spending my day on the bike with some special people.

A little creating and some thinking

The last couple days have been really nice I spent yesterday afternoon thrift and craft shopping with my mom and did some craft shopping today too. Then we can home and crafted the rest of afternoon away. We ended up with the radio on and at one point mom needed to unplug it which made it lose the channel it was on. Mom scanned through the channels and ended up on one that eventually had Delilah. I personally never like her. I spent hour working at the scrapbook store listening to her voice and really didn't like her lol. But tonight that voice put me in a very nice calm place. It made me miss my home away from home. The wonderful ladies that I shared my time with there. The hours of stocking and reorganizing the shelves. The laughter and sometime tear that happened there. And all these thoughts brought on by one voice on the radio.

the last of the Ollie scores

Today was the last day of moving Ollie's stuff out of her old house. I was pretty good aside from a cabinet I have to go back for with my dad. I'm not sure if it will work in the craft room but it's worth a try. If it doesn't work I will let my nephew borrow it to store his toys in. The bird cage is probably one of my favorite scores I was a little disappointed because at first the music box and mechanism that makes the bird work didn't. I came home and play with it for a few more minutes and IT WORKED!!! The bird swings back and forth as the music box plays. I also got a vintage camera to add to my collect. My great grandfather are the most precious to me, but I have a sweet shop for vintage cameras of all kinds. Now I'm slowly trying to find all my finds homes with in the room. Space is getting very limited as far as nick knacks of course that's not going to stop me from going to flea markets or thrift stores looking for something fun and "new". Now I need to go find plate hangers for the plates I did over a month ago. And clean. Maybe I'll craft some to night.
