    Flowers

    July 27, 2008 - By 

    I had a chance to play a bit yesterday.

    I mostly worked on putting the tip-ins I’ve received together with my own pages in a patriotic theme book. I think I still have a page or 2 coming so I can’t say I’m done with that one yet.

    Although I did make one new spread in my just for fun altered book.

    New Chimenea

    May 29, 2008 - By 

    We’ve wanted a chimenea for years but the kids were just too young and it would have been dangerous. We finally decided they are old enough so I went with a neighbor and bought this one. I bought a terracotta saucer to put on top to keep the rain out but we pondered how to keep the rain out the big “mouth” in the front.

    I did some thinking then sketching and came up with an idea.

    Hubby scoffed at me, so I took it upon myself to make it myself. I started it yesterday but was unable to complete it before he got home. I hid the whole works because I didn’t want him to see it until completed. Boy is he going to be surprised when he gets home!!

    Project cost: $0.00 I only used items we already had around the house.

    I think I did a pretty good job.

    What do you think?
