I’m so happy with these glass jars I was able to find at the thrift store.
It got me to clean off my pile of random junk so I could display these jars full of wrapped ribbons.
I’m hoping these colorful additions will provide lots of inspiration.

I saw this post a while ago and knew I wanted to emulate it. 
I finally made it to a dollar store to get some old fashion clothes pins.
The wrapping process has begun.
I think a trip to Goodwill is in order to find some pretty glass jars to store them in.
I joined a numbers themed ATC swap on ABC.
I used pages from a Mathmatic tables book…from back in the day that you didn’t just push the button on the calculator….as the background.
I attached these pages to recycled cereal and pasta boxes for a more sturdy base.
The woman’s image came from The Commons on Flickr. What a great resource for artists! Thanks to Penny for giving our group the heads up on this one!!
I love putting words into people mouths…especially when I can get a chuckle out of it!

Just playing around with layering.
I was inspired to work in a board book today for something different. I started by gluing down random scraps of text from old books. I then brushed on several colors until I was pleased with the background.
I took out this image of my Grandmother, her sisters and parents to use. Wasn’t sure what the page would become but wanted to use it none the less.
Here are a couple of close ups of each side.
