    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!

    I’m puzzled

    puzzle mail art1 puzzle mail art2I was feeling the need to make some mail art. My favorite kind to do are large puzzle pieces. Several years ago I bought a large floor puzzle at a garage sale. I’ve been sending altered postcards naked (meaning just addressed and stamped on the reverse) through the mail ever since.

    The people at the post office know me and always get a kick out of the objects I send through the mail…such as a water bottle filled with goodies. Altered CD’s are also fun to send. I can’t seem to find a picture of any I’ve sent though…grrr.
