I am so excited about the deal I got at a garage sale today…only $7
A rotating rack for my greeting cards. It will work perfect for craft sales!
In the past I’ve had my cards in a photobox with theme dividers. When cards are displayed on a rack they invite you to come and check them out instead of flipping through a box.
It comes apart into 4 pieces for storage, although the pieces are pretty big. Good thing I’m in the middle of reorganizing, right!?!
Was that a confusing title or what?!? But it is accurate. Thanks to my friend Patty, I now have a quick and easy way to make a collage or mosaic of photos… The program is called pixlr and I just love it!
These are just few of the cards I’ve made as of late. I’d been slacking a bit on my etsy store inventory but figured it was time to get back at it.
Welcome to another edition of T stands for Tuesday hosted by my friend Elizabeth. As always I have my beverage at hand. 
A to-go cup? Yep…we’ve already been to the orthodontist this morning. Ah yes…the joys of summer vacation. I’m thinking we are going to get out and enjoy some sunshine today and fresh air. Maybe walk around a lake… Bike some trails…. Throw a frisbee… Not sure but we could all use some outside time.
I’ve been continuing to work on some cards.
I started a painting yesterday on a canvas board. I’m out of regular canvas to this will have to do for now.
It still a work in progress….
A very special young man in our life just graduated from high school. He is like my 3rd child…my unofficially adopted one. He surprised me with a cup of Caribou coffee one Mother’s Day morning. So sweet. He is friend to Big J…and an over-sized big brother to Little J. 
The boys have had a love for video games since the day they met. Nintendo was the platform of choice. Now “my second son” is going off to college into a video game design program in a few short months. I thought this card would make him smile.
Congrats T!
It’s Tuesday again…time to have some sparkling water in my favorite glass and link up with Elizabeth for T stands for Tuesday.
So what I have I been up to lately? I’ve been doing more crafting than blogging…. And more yard work than crafting. Weeding, mowing, planting and watering… But now that we’ve had over 4 inches of rain, at least I don’t have to worry about the watering.
Now on to the random crafts…
Here we have scarf/necklace made from my favorite tie-dye t-shirt. I finally had to give the shirt up after discovering a huge unrepairable hole. Apparently I wasn’t ready to completely part with it…
I started this American Girl doll hat when Little J and I were at our camp. One of the little girls asked if she could have it when I was done. Well certainly, my dear. I used my cabbage dyed yarn and knitting loom.
Then, of course, more cards…
I’m trying to get ahead for the Fall/Winter craft sale season.
I was going to share one more new item today but I’m thinking that it deserves it’s own post. It’s something new that I’ve never tried. I was inspired by something on YouTube. Basically to think outside the box. That’s generally how my brain works anyway.
Stop back tomorrow and see what I’m talking about. (how’s that for a teaser)
What are you doing today??
I’ve been at it again. Sewing bits and pieces together. This time I broke out some colored card stock for inspiration.
I added sentiments to this batch. I don’t seem to be running out out scraps any time soon so I’m sure there will be more.
These are my favorites…
I put some finishing touches on about half of the mini collages I’ve made over the last couple of days. They are addictive to make.
The rest I think should go on colored card stock and I didn’t have any of that cut, folded and ready to go. Plus I’ll likely match each collage to particular paper before cutting.
These are my favorites from this batch of cards.
The flowers just seem to dress them up in a perfect way.
