    A time for everything

    a time for everything yarn haul

    Another page in my cursed journal. Photographing this page proved to be a challenge. This was the best shot I could get and it still doesn’t have the look that it does in real life. I’m bummed because I think this is one of my very favorite pages EVER.

    After I stamped and embossed the pocket watch image, it looked just too perfect. I took some sandpaper to it to mess it up a bit. This made me much happier. 🙂

    I also had to show off my yarn haul from the thrift store. Woo-hoo…lots of knitting and crochet material for the less than the price of 2 average skeins.

    Craft Club

    Our new neighbor mentioned a while back that she hosted a monthly craft club at her house.

    I was very intrigued.

    Last week she stopped by to tell me the date and time.

    So last night I packed up a small plastic tote with supplies to make cards. I limited myself to paper from my scrap files.

    I thought this would be a good challenge for me.

    I learned that limited supplies doesn’t have to limit your creativity.

    There was only one thing that I was really missing…my foam mounting tape. One of the gals I just met was gracious enough to give me a few pieces so I could complete a couple of the cards.

    I’m already looking forward to next month!
