    Long term swap

    April 18, 2008 - By 



    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?

    Morse Code Key

    April 15, 2008 - By 


    My father-in-law passed down this key from his Navy days to our son. It just screamed at me to make something with it.

    I put machine screws into the wood so that the key is not permanently attached. Boy, am I glad of that!!! I know have a completely different concept brewing my my head.

    We’ll see how my hubby likes this piece…if he LOVES it I’ll likely leave it alone but if not….I’m starting work on my other concept.

    I’ve been saving the wrappers from my chocolate indulgence.
    The Chocolove bar is my favorite!

    Spring is a busy time for Birthdays aournd here. This is the card I gave to my hubby last week. We are getting to the age that celebrating getting another year closer to middle age isn’t anything to celebrate.

    I’m planning on ART-ing(act of random thoughtfulness) with the puzzle piece. So it’s a secret…SSSHHH!!
