Round Robin pages

This is the second to last book in the round robin for me. The theme was “questions of love”.
I’m not exactly sure I hit what Jana was looking for in the most literal sense but I’m happy with my results.

I’ve titled this spread Secret Embrace

The image is from the cover of an off romance novel.
This is a tribute to Gina Wise…she did some really fun arches for last years ABC 7th anniversary swap with this same technique.

This one is titled Ecstasy

The image is from a late ’60s hairdressing guide. I loved the expression, so it drove the direction of the page.

Rusty sneak peek

I’ll be getting my package ready to mail off to Elizabeth today.

I can only show you a tiny snippet or two of her rust and white pages until she receives them.

I used both rusted fabric

and rusted paper to create my pages.

I hope Elizabeth likes them!!

Before I let you go, I just had to share these flowers…
I picked all of them from my yard.
Did I mention that I love flowers!?!?

Tired Tuesday

After a fun filled, busy weekend… it’s hard to believe that it’s already Tuesday.

We over-indulged…

Enjoyed a carnival both from great heights…

and with our feet firmly planted on the ground…

The people watching is always fun…

Of course, we still had more fun to pack in yesterday…

A car show…

Parade…

Tractor rides for the kiddos…

We never even made it to fireworks. Everyone was tired, sweaty and slightly sunburned. A shower and bed sounded like the best option.

This morning the kids and I took my mom out to visit my dad’s grave. He would have been 84 today. We left red, white & blue flowers and placed little stones on his marker. I think it would have made him very happy. He always said he was a late firecracker. He always treated the 4th of July as part of his birthday celebration too. Time for family, friends and fun. Makes me happy to think of it as that way as well.

Hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday weekend! I think I need a nap now!

Tea for the road

The baby girl got her palette expander and partial braces this morning…poor thing.

Time for a smoothie…

8th anniversary swap

Since we had a totally open theme this time around for the annual abc_alterbookclub anniversary swap…I decided to use this photo of myself and my grandpa that always makes me giggle. Neither one of us looks to happy about the whole deal.
