Vintage Book Journal

I have such a love for old books. I have always loved collecting dusty old books that others would just toss in the trash. I always feel most of them still have a story to tell.

I saved this old encyclopedia and about 10 others from the recycle bin. Can you believe it??? I love it....Lucky for me, one of my duties at the library is teaching an occassional Adult Education class, and wow did this scream AE Class to me, haha. Don'tcha just love the cover. Now whereas I love to keep some books intact, some are just meant to disassemble. I have one friend who absolutely CANNOT take a book apart. I on the other hand, have absolutely no problem with it.

This book is not quite finished but I wanted to share something before I leave town for a few days. I will post the finished project next week and give you a look on the inside. I think you'll like what you see....Until then, enjoy the cover..

Blessings,

Sandi

Grandma's Heart

One of life's biggest blessings has got to be grandparenthood (is that a word, hahaha?). Our little Dylan was born 11-11-11 and has been a very unique person indeed. I didn't know it was possible to love someone so much and just be enthralled by his every breathe....He is a joy like no other.


Well, we are experiencing all the firsts and enjoying every minute just being his Grandma and Grandpa. On August 25, Dylan was baptized and of course his mom had to find the perfect outfit. I have to say, my daughter in law has a heart very much like my own. She loves vintage just as much as I do...She did find the most darling romper that was so 50's or so and then found shoes. We began talking about them and they would be a cinch to make....so began my journey with the sewing machine, haha...


Each shoe would be just a little off, haha, and don't ask me how that is possible but above is what came to be his baptism shoes...it was so much fun and of course I had to personalize them for Dylan. After all, these were going in with his outfit to hopefully be used again by future generations.


I used printable sticky back canvas and they stuck very well...


I always want him to know first and foremost that he is loved and that his life should be grounded in Him. It is Jims and my desire that He will come to love the Lord in just this way.


This is not my usual type of craft, but i'm finding a love in the sewing machine I didn't know I had...I've made rompers and i'll try to post one sometime soon..I have a really cute one in the works.

Enjoy! Blessings to you,

Sandi

Ooo Lala!!!

Long time no see!!! Life does have a way of taking us in different directions!!! The only major crafting I've been doing lately has either been for work or for my grandson, Dylan. We have an Adult Education class at our local library where I not only work, but get to teach classes as well. I love it!!! At any rate, this is a class I taught a couple of months ago and mine is on the far right...i forgot my glass knob for the top, but used a mini Christmas ornament for the top, which turned out ok but I'm still gonna change it out, hahaha... This was such a fun class and the only reason there are only 3, is because the other girls were still stuffing their forms.... This is not by any means my design, but just knew it would be a fun class and something pretty to go in my playroom!!!...You can find all the directions here and be sure and watch the video, it will give you step by step instructions and makes putting on the side pieces so very easy... I hope you enjoyed taking a peek and give this one a try...It would make a beautiful gift for a birthday or even Christmas! Blessings, Sandi

Welcome!!!

Spring is here and I'm ready to spring into many new things. Life has been busy and I've gotten side-tracked for quite a while now, but I am ready to start sharing a bit of the creatin i've been wanting to do....

I started a wreath well over a year ago, haha, ok, got the blocks stamped, haha....I need to finish my assembling and it'll be ready to show-off.....hope to see you all tomorrow night as I try to jumpstart my blog once again....i'll be changing things up a bit here and there, and my crafts will probably be all over the place, haha, sorta like me.....

Well, I am off to sleep and hope to see you all tomorrow night...

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Tim Holtz Configuration Box

I started this box at a class I did at Craft Crossing in Gonzales a couple months ago. I love shadow box things.

I had temporarily misplaced my "goodies" but finally found them and was able to get it finished this past week. I have another in the works for my bedroom and it will be more shabby chicy (is that a word?) and I am hoping to finish by tomorrow, but you all know how tomorrow can turn into a month or two for me, haha....

I'm sorry the pic isn't the greatest but with the clear sheet on the front of the box, it was hard for me not to have shadows so it is what it is and I hope you enjoy looking. All my goodies are pieces my son and husband collected for me when we lived in Europe. I love brass (ok, used to, haha) and I have a passion for anything delft.

These boxes are the neatest things and now TH comes out with one that is like a printers box...i have special plans for that one for my playroom...enjoy and I hope to see you soon...I have my craftin bug back!!!

A Drawer full of Keys!

We've all got em, some of us more than others. My sweet Jim cannot throw a key away, he just can't. I am sure we have the key to our first home, the skeleton key from our home in Belgium, and about every key to any lock made, hahaha....I came across a really neat site sometime ago and decided I needed a few of these for the journals I like to make and give away and to go on the endless collection of antique books I am so fond of. Craftygoodies has the site bookmarked, somehow I've messed something up and can't get the http....I know you'll love her site, so take a hop on over..

I am in awe of jewelry makers and I am determined to take a class as I am sure there is an easier way of me getting those jump rings on, haha...it was quite the site....i have lots of blings and things laying on my desk to complete but until then, here are just a few of what I've done so far....mine are a little shabby chicy (is that a word?) since thats what I like....Connie over at craftygoodies.blogspot.com decided we'd both post ours tonight so you could get a look a several different styles...I haven't see hers yet but I am headed over there once I post.....

Please excuse the low quality pics...I got in late this evening and just took so the quality is nothing to phone home over...at any rate I hope you enjoy, get a little inspiration and leave a note if you'd like...how would you decorate these???? I am really interested, I only have 2,427 more keys to go,,,hahaha....

I am redoing my site so if the colors don't match, don't worry they will, haha...Enjoy! Sandi
Thanks for dropping by!

Stickles or Alcohol Ink Container

So I've been surfing the European blogs because there are so many fabulous artists out there. I came across someone, somewhere who posted a holder (no instructions) but I didn't let that deter me one little bit...after a lot of thought about every time I woke up on Monday night, I had already figured it out...This takes only 1 pc of double sided paper, girls....I hope to have a tutorial for ya on Friday(my day off)if ya are interested and will try to tut one on the alcohol ink stick pins as I have had several requests. This will hold 16 bottles of stickles or alcohol inks and looks oh so cute on your crafty table.

I need to get busy as I'm teaching a scrapbooking class at the library where I work on March 5 so I'll try to get my samples together and share those as well. Well I am off to blog hop and get some inspiration.

Blessings to you all, Sandi

Button Jars

Connie over at Crafty Goodies inspired me to make my own button jars. Since I had been admiring them for some time, I jumped right in and it was quite fun.

Jim also was more than happy to help me in this little endeavor....He is our grocery shopper and so he picked up the Starbucks coffees at HEB and proceeded to "get rid" of the coffee that was in them before he ever left the store parking lot....He knew I was on a mission so for the next 2 days he buzzed around the house after he fulfilled my dreams to "empty" those bad boys....

I love how it turned out and my favorite piece is the stickpin I made...I no longer buy them done, I have gotten quite crafty at makin my own....i few jewels from Hob/Lob, some alcohol inks and wahla, you're done....Click on the pic a couple times for a close up....

I am off today and planning on working on and in the craftroom so hopefully I'll have something new soon. Please come back and check and I'd love your comments...And btw, if anyone needs someone to drink those "cold coffee's" for ya, Jim is available, haha..

Be blessed!!!

Sandi

Ya know, poster

I don't really appreciate that bad word you were trying to throw out there on my comment section in the last post, but I get your point, hahaha..I actually tried to load last week but blogger didn't cooperate!! haha....., well i hope you'll believe it anyway, and if ya don't, well I was tied up, haha...

While I finish up on my latest project which will be available for your viewing pleasure in just a few (days, hours, months, we'll have to wait and see, haha)please enjoy what i had so much fun living earlier this month...can't wait to do it again girls...and Pam, you might want to either seat me at the same table next time, or on the floor in the corner some where, hahaha...again, so sorry about the mishap, we Valley girls, don't get out much if ya know what I mean....

Now, not sure if I mentioned it or not, but Miss Pam aka keeper of the keys for Craft Crossing, gave out prizes all day and into the night...Please note last picture. Miss Penci, aka T!m's wanna be little sister, made and handed out this beautiful WISH book she made...I'd love to have shown you , but as y ou can see one of the locals couldn't stand that we might want to record this moment and jumped in front of the camera..yes, that is her and her girls who just couldn't stand Kathy in the limelight...just sayin,and again, girls enjoy the pics and I'm sure Miss Pam would love to woo and wahh ya in her store...I am told Miss Penci is givin some great classes in Jan and Feb and I so hope Miss Connie will too cuz I am wanting to revisit....blessings to you all, SAndi

Destination: Craft Crossing, Gonzales, Tx

I am back from a wonderful trip to Gonzales, Tx. Wanda and Kathy and I headed north on Friday morning to Belmont where we met up with Connie. The party never stopped until we arrived back in Harlingen late Sunday afternoon...All I can say is we went, we conquered and I don't think Craft Crossing or Gonzales will ever be the same!!! haha.... We had a ball. Thank you Pam, Connie, and Penci!!

Now I must tell you all about our day at Craft Crossing. It began at 9 a.m. and i think we left at midnight, hahaha....yes that is 15 hours of shopping in heaven and crafting and yes, we probably have a problem, but who cares and who asked you anyway!!!haha...

We took classes from all 3 ladies (and I use that term loosely if ya know what i mean ;), haha.

Pam did the first one and it was the cutest ornament that we sodered...i have ALWAYS wanted to play with the sodering tool and i love my project but there was just one problem..The smell in the room-- we did find out was not electrical. Imagine to my surprise when I found that I had not only perfected the art of melting that soder, I had also learned how to burn a perfect hole in a perfectly good table...yes I said the table, hahaha...that was NOT part of the class. Pam then smiled nicely and said maybe i shouldn't play with fire,....what???? Pam said to make yourself at home... haha...

ok, class 2....Connie had 3, yes that is 3 projects for us. I did the neatest dry erase frame, a layout , and we had to take # 3 home with us which i've not done yet but will....

and then there was Miss Penci aka T!m's groupie!!! haha...she loves everything T!m....Holtz that is...We made 4 of the neatest tags...and it was during this class that things started to get just a little bit UGLY with the local husseys, umm I mean our new friends from the community...by this time, they had figured out that all the goodies they had been wanting to purchase were no longer for sale--they were in our bags, WOOHOOO, GITTY UP!!!

SO, as the class proceeded and Miss Penci showed one thing after another that we felt we MUST have, there were 2 gals (our new friends) across the table (I beleive Teri was the name of the leader over there)who would get up and literally run towards the display. Now ordinarily I wouldn't care, but they wanted it ALL and they didn't seem to care that we might not get any?????? All in all it turned out very very well....

I seem to have misplaced my cord to the camera so will load the pics tonight..if any of you gals are from anywhere in Tx or plan to vist, you would do yourself a favor to head to Gonzales for a visit to Craft Crossing. Pam has absolutely the best store in Tx...Did I mention we had drawings throughout the day as well as goodies Miss Pam handed to us as well...and then there was the 40% off one item as well and her usual 20 % off for all you purchased if you took classes that day...oh my gosh.....heaven i tell ya!!!! Now Pam if the 20 % off is not your usual, well, I just told 10,000 of my closest friend, hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I am off and running to work, but please check back tonight, to see the goodies I made while I was gone...

Blessings, Sandi

P.S. to my new friend Terri in Gonzales...I do need to say it is not very becoming for a pregnant woman to literally sprint across the table and get our projects wrapped around your ankle to drag through Pam's store as you trying to bag it all for yourself, hahahahahaha.....THE END!!!!!

Shabby Card

I wish I'd spent more time on here and I'd certainly have done things differently if I had it to do over again. Isn't that always the way it is??? haha.... At any rate, I just had to play with T!m's cage die and I just love it...now can ya tell I have no idea where the feathers on the bird are suppose to go??? hahaha....he looks like he got into a fight with the cat, haha.... I am working on a super card that I saw on another blog and hope to have it up tomorrow so at any rate, enjoy!

....be blessed, Sandi

Tiles anyone???

Well I have finally gotten my tiles done. I wish the pics would do a little justice here. I am going to do them again and change it up abit as I am feeling it's a little off. I will save that for another day for when I post the coasters I am about to do. At any rate, I've had a ball in the playroom today.
My cast of characters:

6x6 tile (not the slick kind)
Pigment ink
Stamps (sorry gals ya just can't beat Stampin Up!)
UltraThick Embossing Enamel, this is the first time I've used it and I love it!
Kitchen Oven

Yes, I said the kitchen oven. I had contemplated getting a toaster oven for my playroom but Jim put his foot down. I, ummmm, have a bit of a problem with burning things and fire when it involves a stove, hahaha....He wants all MY cooking experiences to be done in the kitchen where there is an extinguisher, hahaha....ok, so I gave in this time but who knows, haha ;) If any of you gals want the directions just shoot me an email. I did see this on another site somewhere and if it's yours, just holler at me and I'd love to give you credit.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my day off with my hubby and am now moving on to the next project....Check back tomorrow sometime.......Oh yes, and 2 weeks from today, the girls and I are headed to Gonzales for the Winterfest Celebration at Craft Crossings...Hope to see some of you Central Txns there...it promises to be a fun filled day from start to finish....and did I mention we are staying at the Casa????? hahahaha......yeah, yeah,,,,,,see ya tomorrow...Sandi

Mark Ur Calendars, girls....

One of the Hill Country's best craft stores (and believe me, if it's a craft, it's sold in this store) is hosting a fabulous craft day...not sure what they are calling it, but I do know my friends and I are headed north on DECEMBER 4.......Gonzales, Tx or bust!!!! hahaha.....

Pam the owner of Craft Crossing, is offering a day full (and I mean a day full, haha) of crafty fun for everyone....I love a party so thought I'd share with a few hundred of my closest internet friends...hahahaha...I don't know if you've ever been to Gonzales before but it's a darling town that not only houses this great shop, but there is antiquing and honey the best puffy tacos you ever put in your mouth...do what I'm doing, load your car up with your favorite girlfriends and head in whatever direction Gonzales is from you, haha...

Ok, for sure on the agenda, Miss Pam has someone who's taken numberous classes from T!m Holtz himself (and I do believe we are going to be doing the 12 days of Christmas tags), Connie Mercer( oh yeah, her link is to the left also, crafty goodies (now tell me you don't want to learn from her????)haha, a published scrapbooking artist will be teaching a class and I'm told she is designing something spectacular for this class, and of course Pam the owner will have a class (she is still working out the details but i'm told we will love it!!!)....i just love how things just fall together...dontcha!!!

I have absolutely no affiliation with this store..I just fell in love with the store and it's owner and I have to say i am a customer service junkie and when I saw this lady knows what she's selling, its exciting... I mean seriously what the heck is stickable canvas, but oh my, you ought to check out what the world is doing with that....at any rate, I am so excited about this trip, i just couldn't keep it to myself!!!!! Can ya just tell we live in the valley and don't get opportunities like this very often, hahaha...anyone interested in following us from the valley just shoot me an email.... jandsrunyanr@aol.com

I know I said I'd post my tiles, but i've had a delay...My son is in town, we went shopping and he even used a 40 off coupon for me at Hob/Lob and since it's cooler I made him my special chili...I love when that kid is over on Tuesdays....ok he's 31, haha...I have so much to do and so little time..I did make a little headway though...I can tell ya i won't post tomorrow as I have to work late at work, but I hope to have something up on the blog late Thursday or early Friday...so excited about this project!!!!

So gals you have plenty of time before the 4th...hey, when you're done, stay over and hit San Antonio for some Christmas shopping....trust me , these classes are going to be super...I hope to m eet some of my internet friends at the store...the Link to her store is posted on the right..go check it out....i am sure she will update as things are coming together....

Ok, I am off to bed...this day light savings time is killing me....be blessed and create something fun....Sandi

Lots going on!!

Hey craft siblings!!! Hope you've all been enjoying the cooler weather and gettin in to the swing of "fall back".....

I am right smack into the middle of getting ready for a Christmas bazaar and by in the middle of I mean, I 've barely begun, hahaha!!! Once again, Sandi is flying by the seat of her pants, haha...gotta love it....

I am off to Lowe's after work to pick up tiles....ARE YOU CRAZY???? No I'm not remodeling the bathroom floor (well not yet anyway, haha).....come back tomorrow and check out what I did with those tiles...I completely lifted this from another site but fell instantly in love with the tile and it is "so me"!! haha.....

Well I am to work....I love Tuesday mornings at work because it's Story time and I get to see all my favorite little people at the library....

Be blessed and enjoy God's creation when you step outside today!!! Sandi

It's called Red Rubbah, baby!!!

Nothing brings a smile to my face faster than gettin a new piece of red rubber...I ♥ stamps and you can NEVER have enough. They were beginning to take over my playroom....

I ordered almost everything I needed about 2 years ago (yes, that is years, haha) I changed my mind 4 or 5 times on this. I just snapped one day, and boom, I was pulling that rubber off my wood blocks....it was absolutely the best decision for organization I've ever done in my playroom. You ought to see my pile now, of blocks, that is....wowzeeeeeeeeeeer....there are a lot of dead trees sitting in boxes now, haha.

My tools consisted of: glass mat, hot knife, ez mount (for the raw rubber I still hadn't done anything with), Aleens Tack it over and over (love this stuff), scissors, ez mount panels, and univenture cases, and lots of patients..the total job took about a week...

For those of you interested in freeing up a lot and I do mean major amount of space, let me know and I'll be happy to talk ya through...It is so easy and so worth it....I have literally cleared out a huge cabinet and down to 1 shelf on the wall, haha...I will be posting as soon as I get that last wall, wallpapered...

Univenture has the cases (sorry I didn't have time to shoot one, but will soon) and if you get the black ones, they are $1.07 right now..Don't worry about the color because the case has a clear insert around it that you can insert your fav DSP with...can't get much better than that.....Fabulous price....http://www.univenture.com/shop/1.25_3_ring_A5_binder.php
and here's where you can find the panels to go inside.... http://sundayint.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2354

Let me know if you have questions...it really was an easy job...

Be blessed today and find that awesome gift of creativity God gave you.....Sandi

The secret's in the Alcohol

Got your attention right....drunk, haha!!!

Check out my fabulous new pins gals..No need to go out and lay down five bucks for 8 of these babies anymore...I have just discovered alcohol inks.. Yeah, yeah, i'm a day late I know, but it's ok, cuz I got the secret baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha.....You can have pins on every layout or card ya make from here on out....I took my alcohols to my friends this week and we experimented with them. I had "heard" (ok read on SOMEONE'S blog ) that this might work. If you want instructions on how to get that nipple off the inks real easy send me a pm (it ain't pretty i can tell ya, but if you are a true crafter you won't care you have ink all down your mouth, cuz you'll match those pins, haha) and I'll tell ya how...Once that top is off dip, pull out, and kind of roll the metal part of the pin through your fingers...wahla!!! You now have a stick pin.....AND to get those really glamorous ones, head to your nearest jewelry making store and you can buy the most beautiful beads with diamonds (ok, bling) on them....I have a stash on my table now so all i have to do is ADORN....Jenni, you'll have nothing on me now girl......

Valley friends, Yolanda at Memory Gardens in Pharr http://mgss-rgv.blogspot.com/ has a new shipment of this stuff , so run, do not walk, to her store immediately and pick it up...Trust me hob/lob and Michaels DO NOT have her colors so just save yourself some aggravation...Besides, they don't have Yolanda either and she stamps a card for ya for every buck ya spend, haha great little perk!!!

As soon as my adorning is over, gals, i'll repost a pic so you can get the full effect...I am off today (yeah, yeah, i know i just got from vacation, get over yourself, haha_) but I've got plans to meet up with Cathy, Cindy, and a day with my bestest and hubster, JimaLee (don't ask, hahaha).....

Be blessed today and find that awesome gift of creativity God gave you.....Sandi

(his) Champion

Yes, I am back, not only from my friends but to the blogging community.....please stop the applause..my head is swelling (and Cindy, I felt that thought so stopppppppppppp it!, haha)

My gf Connie (aka http://craftygoodies.blogspot.com) is one of the best scrapbookers around and it's not because she's my friend..I love her style, the simplicity and most of all the passion she puts into her layouts which I feel is so evident when you look at her pics. She gave me a private lesson (yes, I said private) this weekend in her studio and I am so thrilled with what I walked away with.....I hope you agree.... thanks so much Connie! I ♥ you!

This is my nephew JP (married to my sweet niece, Kat) and their darling son, Jayden (look Jayden, it's you!!).....Jay is now 4 1/2 (got to get that 1/2 in there, right???) but I have always loved this picture. JP is a boxer and champion in that arena so the title was evident. What is also very evident to anyone who knows JP, it that Jayden is everything to him so that title was almost a no brainer... I am going to enjoy it in my craft room for about a month and then frame it for Kat & JP and I hope they will love it....

I used SU DSP paper which I dearly love. I raided my gf's stash of Jenni Bowlin letters and whooped out some cute ribbon and wahhlaa...don'tcha just love this pic as much as I do???? Let me know what ya think..I'd love to hear from ya.....

Check back soon...I have lots to share!!!!

Sandi

Destination: Craft Crossings

I grew up in Smalltown , USA so i know what its like to finally just "settle" on what's aound and be thankful to just have what's available. For months now, Connie and someone else (who I won't mention her name, but you know who you are Cindy!) have been raving on a little craft store in nearby Gonzales....I sort of smile and nod and agree that I'll let Connie "show" me her little place of heaven out here in the middle of God's country.

We had to travel 15 miles to get there and did I mention I just knew we'd walk in to a shop with a little old lady who probably had blue hair ( you know the type, like my 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Ely, yeah , that's the one!). I knew we'd walk in and there'd be mass supplies of left over Tri-Chem from the 70's and that gawd-awful plastic canvas that the neighbors just had to make sure they decorated YOUR house with....anyone you get the picture. I thought so, my neighbor got around, haha..anyway....follow on....

We got to Craft Crossings and I was hopeful since I "heard" she had Tim Holtz goodies I might find something to come out with...I had my $20 tucked in my bra(& I was reluctant to spend it all here, hahaha) and enter we did....

I walked in and I swear I heard angels singing the HALLELUJAH CHORUS.. Out walks this lady in angel wings ( I swear!!!, and NO BLUE HAIR!) to greet us...I was in Craft Heaven...who'd of thought, out here amongst the cow pastures and that stupid junk store that wouldn't give Connie and me a good deal ...(ok, ok, another post.....snap back , girl).....There were every sort of Prima you could imagine, the Tim Holtz display, oh my, can I just say,Jenni Bowlin, the list goes on and on.... I wanted to stay and play with Pam....Pam had the latest and greatest and best of all, SHE KNEW WHAT TO DO WITH THE STUFF!!! Wow what a concept!!! Someone selling merchandise who knew what it was for (now don't even get me started on that).....

For a crafter I can tell you this is your little Heaven on Earth.....It is a "must" for anyone visiting and certainly worth a trip just to come shop at her store....Oh my, that $20 stayed in my bra, I pulled out the car and smiled as I carried my bags (ok, I skipped to the car, hehe) to the car....(secretly, I thought I'd give that bill back to Jim and tell him I didn't need it afterall...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.......

Girls, I am telling you Heaven is real and God just gave me a sneak preview yesterday.. I have heard stories though, and brace yourselves, that in the real heaven, the angels DO have blue hair....

Pam thanks so much for sharing your store with me and just taking that plastic thing for payment for all my goodies...gosh I love that card, haha!!!

Be blessed everyone...I am headed home at some point today but I do promise pics before I head to work tomorrow...oh yeah, THE MOJO'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!..love ya, Sandi

p.s. craftcrossing.blogspot.com do become a follower of Pam's...you won't be sorry...she has the best Scrapbooking and Tim Holtz instructors the state has to offer...I am seriously planning a trip back for classes so if ya want to ride with me, give me a holler!!!! And yes, Connie, I am now a believer!!! Pam has the neatest store...San Antonio has nothing on her....

My Mojo's coming back...

I spent Saturday morning with a great group of ladies at Yolandas (aka, The Memory Garden, Pharr, Tx) taking a class from my sweet friend, Cindy. Now Cindy brought me a whole kit to do this at home a few weeks ago when she and Connie took a class in Gonzales.

Fast forward....the flowers certainly weren't going together ANYTHING like these, and in fact, did not resemble anything that would be grown outdoors other than a weed, haha...I am a visual and hands on type of gal! Enter Yolanda!!! She was nice enough to have Cindy teach this class at her shop and I was the first in line...wow, what fun and so much easier with a room full of gals who are pumped up on coffee and the fumes of Glimmer mist and glue, oh my!! Need I say more??? hahaha...you get the picture don'tcha!!

Thought i'd share and I know I promised to put on the pic of my copic book but will do that when I return.....Oh did I forget to tell you???? I am on my way out the door to head to Connie's at Casa de Belmont where i plan to play for the next day and half..I promise to post either from Con's or asa I get home...I know I know, you've heard that story before....but let's see.... hope you enjoy the frame..not a great pic, but I am in the middle of vacumming and getting packed and leaving..Hey and Cindy, you are an awesome teacher...Yolanda let's do another class..Till later...Sandi
