We found that we wanted to record more info about the wines we’ve tried than would fit in the previous wine label book. This book is 5.5 x 8.5 twice the size of the old one. This should give plenty of room for details.

I still need to order bigger O-wires for the book but these will do until I get around to it. I also will make dividers to separate the kinds.

It’s funny because even as I finish this one I am thinking of Wine 3.0 …I think the next one will be a 3-ring binder type. Maybe an old cookbook.


I decided to pull out my “just for fun” altered book to use up some scraps on my work surface.

Well, technically, the tall ship packing tape transfer was adhered to the cabinet door. Everything else was just laying within reach both on the desk and the small drawer that I throw random small scraps into while creating. Bigger scraps go into my color coded files eventually.

It was really fun working in an altered book again. It’s been a while…


I finished my With One Image challenge and am ready to ship it to Somerset Memories for their consideration.

Cross your fingers for me!! I’d SO love to get published again!


I was shocked the other day when I was approving a couple of comments that I had 199 posts! I wanted to celebrate this occasion with a giveaway.

Remember this mixed-media collage…

It could be yours…

Just leave a comment and I’ll randomly choose a winner on Monday afternoon.


For some reason I had a hard time with a child theme ATC.
I think it was because I wanted to use this image but it was so long and narrow that it was hard to work with in ATC size. Anyway, I am happy with my end result.

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR MONITOR!
He is actually greenish.

My friend Elizabeth twisted my arm to join a couple of her swaps this month. They are both ATC swaps. I’ve completed the Men ATC’s. It’s funny though, this is not what I had intended at all for these but my printer decided to run out of ink part way through the printout. Since the guy had this funky green color to him I figured he had to be either from Mars, nauseated or radioactive. Obviously, I went for radioactive.

Now I need to come up with something fun for the Children theme ATC’s. I have a couple good vintage child photos.



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.
