Just playing around in the digital word a bit.
Using some of my custom brushes along with filters and a kaleidoscope plugin I made this….

Congrats Jean!! I’ll email you privately for your mailing address and your choice of journals.
A few weeks ago at a craft show, I saw a woman selling wine cork Christmas trees.
I thought…”hey, I have corks…I could make that!”
I changed things up a bit to make it more “mine” and love the result.
I’m thinking I have the start of a tree collection when paired with my Dr. Suess tree.
I can scarcely believe that I’ve written that many posts!
And even more shocking is the fact that you all are still here reading after all this time.
Especially considering that I’ve been in quite a dry spell lately.
With that said, I’d like to reward one of you for sticking with me by sending you one of my newly created scrap journals.
All you need to do is leave a comment on this post, making sure I have some way to contact you if you are the winner.
I’ll draw the winning name on November 27th.
The winner will have their choice of cover designs.
Easy peasy, right!?!?
Once again I’ve been browsing Pinterest
…likely too much…
in an effort to find fun ways to use the book pages that have piled up from previous projects.
I saw the cutest little Christmas tree
(below)
I wasn’t exactly sure how she put it together so I “winged it” and ended up with this silly little tree.
The funniest thing is that the wire I ran up the middle is very flexible. So the tree wiggles and wobbles at the slightest touch.
I’m calling it my Dr. Suess tree since it makes me think of something you’d find in Whoville.
I successfully made soap!!
I’ve been nervous to try it on my own but figured with the month of cure time for this cold process soap that I better get over it and do it.
This is a coconut oil and olive oil soap with no added fragrance or color. Figured I better start with the basics and work my way up.
I have to tell you that I was super worried yesterday.
I never got a good “trace” before pouring it into the mold.
So maybe I shouldn’t say that it’s a success yet….
I’ll let you know in a month.
I’ve been working on loom knitting again. I have an order for 10 dishcloths and am expecting I’ll be getting a few more orders real soon. I decided to use some of my scraps of yarn to give some visual interest to these cloths. Waste not, want not.
As long as I was thinking scrappy…
I put together the first in a series of journals. The cover is a print of one of my kaleidoscopes. I believe this one started as a rose.
I love the look of all the different papers. It’s up to the recipient to decide how to use them.
