Pages have landed in Cyprus

I’ve been anxiously awaiting confirmation that the package I sent to Cath in Cyprus had arrived safely.  I was getting very worried even though the post office assured me that things can get tied up in customs from time to time. 
Cath is another member of the colors swap I’ve been particpating in over the last few months.
Her colors were yellow and black. Not my usual fair but that’s where the challenge lies. 

                                                                         

 The photos are not the best…I can’t remember why anymore but alas…once they are sent off there isn’t much chance for retakes.

                                                                               

 This one is a kalidescope that I made from 
a photo of a marigold.
These black eyed susans are from my in-laws garden.
Thanks to Elizabeth 
for the awesome yellow handmade paper!!

Rust and white pages

Elizabeth has gotten her pages and says she loves them…

Hooray!
Don’t know why but these “colors swap” pages are giving me fits. Couldn’t tell you why if I tried.
Maybe I just do better with a theme instead of a list of colors to use.

Patty’s Tip-ins


Quite a while ago Elizabeth facilitated a swap between Patty and I. I was in need of a few more pages for my Quotes AB and Patty was thinking about possibly doing a chunky book.

Just look at the wonderful tip-ins that Patty created!
**I have been so neglectful in actually posting these.**
                          Sorry Patty!!!

This is a gorgeous piece. I’ve never been good with “white” but here it is done so well.
Such wonderful quotes were chosen.
“The universe sings to those who listen”
Love that…

And just take a gander at this one!!  The colors are amazing together. The texture in the photo pales in comparison to the real deal.

The quote:
“Happiness belongs to those who are easily contented.”
            ~Aristotle

Patty has included one of her little nests that I admire so much.

Patty gave me free reign to do whatever came to me at the moment for the chunky pages.
Sweet!
I’m pretty random most of the time so that suits me just fine.
Since I forgot to actually take photos before sending them off to her…she was kind enough to photograph them for me.

And if that wasn’t enough…she sent a wonderful package of “goodies” to play with. Although it wasn’t planned…when I looked through the lens of my camera…look what I saw.

A Heart! 

It was a gift from the heart from Patty!
Thank you my dear.

Quote pages


After a little nudge…I thought I’d show some of my pages. Some of these have been shown on the blog before quite a while ago. The rest were made in my pre-blogging days.

I’m only showing my pages as I didn’t ask permission from the others to display their work.

Please forgive the weird formatting…not sure whats up with the pictures and why they won’t go where I want them!

Altered book page


This is the page that will go in the mail today to be included in the 10th Anniversary book being put together by Corinne Stubson. I just had to get involved, all be it late in the project.

Completed old projects..starting new



I finally bound some old tip-in and smaller size pages into one book this week.

I’m on a mission to finish all these UFO’s (unfinished objects) I’ve started somewhere along the line.

I was chatting with a neighbor just this evening over the bonfire about memory and lack thereof. Is it Adult-ADD or short-term memory loss but whatever you want to call it…I’ve got it!!! Geez… I can’t walk down the 2 sets of stairs to the basement and remember what the heck it was I went down there for!
OK…I think I’m on a tangent now….

My original point was…I have a ton of projects started or even nearly complete but never seem to tie up all my loose ends. THAT is my new mission.

With that said….haha…I have started a new project or more of a challenge. It’s a call for art from Somerset Memories magazine. It can be either a group or an individual using ONE IMAGE to create a multitude of art. Of course since it will be up for submission I won’t be showing what I’ve created until I’ve heard the news either way… I hope to get my projects in the mail next week for consideration.
