I’ve been jammin’ on these squares. I’m pretty determined to get them all completed before the first mailing date. This will serve several purposes including saving postage, freeing me up for other projects and most of all, not forgetting until the last minute. I’m usually not that forgetful but my mind has been REALLY scattered lately. Forgot my purse one day and my workout shoes the next. Must be that birthday sneaking up on me.

I’ve completed the next 2 colors in my long term swap. I love that I get to use up scraps and the little bits and bobbles I’ve collected over time. It’s really stretching me creatively too…coming up with so many unique designs.

I haven’t decided which one of each color I’ll be keeping yet.

Any opinions?



I had decided I wasn’t going to sign up for anymore swaps that I had to make multiples of the exact same page again..at least for quite some time. My friend Theresa came up a long term swap that will eventually end up with a rainbow of colors. I was still reluctant to join until she said it was okay for each of the pages to be different.

I will keep 1 square from each set and the others will be part of the 5 for5 swap. In the end I’ll have 6 pages of each color. It will be a very chunky book.
From the purple set I’ll be keeping the page with the flowers and my name pin on it.
I’m torn with the blue pages…I’d like to keep 3 of them. I’ve got time before sending them to mull it over.

Which blue page is your favorite?




I was asked by an art friend if I’d make a page or 2 for a book she was putting together to be auctioned off at a Greyhound Rescue fundrasing event. I was more than happy to help out.

The “models'” for the pages are Casey, Ranger and Simon.


I keep using this same image over and over.
That would be the frugal girl in me. Yes, I said FRUGAL not cheap.

This one was made to fill a personal swap of 5 for 5 chunky pages.

I just realized that this is my 3rd post today! Good art day! Must be the stress…does it everytime.

I don’t think there will be much on the crafty list for the next couple days. I made a B-day card for my brother-in-law but that’s about it. My hubby is on vacation this week so I have a feeling I won’t be spending much time crafting anything.

Tomorrow we’ll be having a PIRATE DAY. We bought the 3rd installment of the Pirates of the Carribean series and plan to watch it sipping on our rum drinks.

I’ll leave you with this page I made for a junk mail swap a while back.


I got my new Bind-it-all on Friday. I have wanted a binding machine for so long. The first thing I bound was my ABC_alteredbookclub 4th Anniversary chunky book. I love how it turned out.
