Cute Baby Day!
This is my nephew Henry. Remember him? He is now 7 weeks old, and as you can see, cute as the dickens! The toy he is playing with is one I sent him. It is a big stuffed elephant, and all over it there are things for him to grab (ribbons, rings, etc). Evidently he [...]

Health Care Scare
We have been hearing about death panels for old people, socialized medicine, and all sorts of other scary things about the new Health Care bill HR3200. Are they true? Well, I personally didn’t want to read the whole darn thing, so I went to my fave place, Fact Check. If you want to know if [...]

Sunflower card, version 4
I’m sure I’ll be making more sunflower cards in the future, but this is the last one for now. I cut out 2 circles and snipped them into petals for this one. It is kind of hard to tell from the picture, but one set of petals is on top of the next one. When [...]

Sunflower Card, version 3
This is my 3rd go a the sunflower challenge. I decided to tear the flowers instead of cutting anything. The great part about the petal paper is that it is 2 colors, a light yellow on one side and a dark yellow on the other. So when I tore out the outer petals, I got [...]

Sunflower card, version 2
Ok, so cutting out all those little petals was a bit of a hassle. And I’m sure that no one wants to pay for 2 hours of my time so they can send someone a sunflower card. So I went looking for ways to shorten the time it takes to make one, without loosing that [...]

Torn paper cards
I took a class on making torn paper cards at the Mercantile, one of my fave places to go. It is a great way to use up those little pieces of leftover paper from making cards. You know how you always have little bits left from projects, and they are too big to throw away, [...]

Beads from Class!
With hubby visiting his family this past week, I have been very lazy. Most of what I’ve done has been read books, watch movies, and take care of the dogs. In fact, these are the beads I made during the Gathering in Rashan Jones‘ class. I must say that I am really pleased with them. [...]
