    It "niche" the end.

    Now I realize that title only makes a bit of sense if your pronounce as knee-sh
    …not knit-ch.
    Regardless of how you say it…my Nature book is complete!!

    I decided to place one of the prairie dog photos I took at the MN Zoo under the niche.

     The opening of the niche was slightly larger than the photo so I recreated the sandy hill this little guy was perched upon in sand.
    Worked perfect and if I hadn’t told you why, you’d have just thought I was terribly clever. *wink*
    I’ve decided not to alter the outside of the book as it lays relatively flat. This way it can sit on the shelf along side the rest and be a big surprise to anyone who pulls it out to read.
    Such a good feeling to complete another project. It’s been tucked away in among the rest of the UFO’s for several years.
    Thanks to Elizabeth for her online class that got this book started in the first place.

    Craft expo

    I’m gearing up to participate in my first Craft Expo. I’m very excited!! I’m about 6 weeks out from it but I know how fast time goes.
    Over the weekend I made a bunch of wine charms. Then all I needed was a label. I wanted something wine themed so I went in search of images. Inspiration struck when I walked through our family room.
    Why not use my painting?!?
    A little help from photoshop and my label was complete.
    I’m thinking about Christmas as well….
    One of my chandelier bulbs recently burned out so now it has a new blinged out life.
