Ribbon Help!!

Does your ribbon storage
look something like this
lots of loose, hanging, tangled spools
How about a little trick to help keep them ends tidy

Wonderful Double STICK Tape on a roll, this kind has a covering over one of the sides
LEAVE THAT COVERING ON

And STICK away.... easy to put on... easy to remove... leave a roll with your ribbons
so it is always handy .... and ... the end result .... drum  roll please

ATC CARDS

A swap I entered called Cute Woodland  since I am a photographer and I had these three deer visit my backyard last spring... what better swap...  the fur in from my Fly Tying inventory actually deer fur
ATC Cards
are 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" in size
and people trade them all over the world
different themes, colors, whatever.. some are on watercolor paper, miniture canvas, heavy cardstock, homemade papers...  it is just a nice hobby and also a way to promote ones business.
I am enjoying it and look forward to getting a nice collection from folks around the world.

This is the photo only - added beads and feathers for the swap

This swap required that one use a page out of a book, after that have fun
so I did



Enjoy

My Valentines Baby

On Valentines Day, 1976 in Anchorage, Alaska at 7 in the morning. I had a baby boy. When he came out the doctor said look at the size of his feet!... I asked if it was a boy or girl and he said a boy, but look at the size of those kids feet. As the years passed Josh grew into those feet. Today he is a successful father, artist, and handsome, honest, kind, generous, wonderful, and the list could go on... yep he is one great kid. Love you Josh, Mom

Pheasant Feather Rosette

Pheasant Feathers Rosette
I made this simple box, but added a few panels for strength and a velcro closure
I made the rosettes with Martha Stewarts scoring board - great tool!!!
I made two rosettes and hot glued some
pheasant feathers in the grooves added
a pretty button - done
Today (February 8, 2012) I put this up on Facebook as I want to give it away,
if you like it on FB and make a comment too
I will put your name in a drawing and pick a winner on Thursday, February 9, 2012
This was fun to make and if the new owner
doesn't want the box, well take the rosettes off and add a pin on the back
and enjoy a new piece of jewelry
ENJOY

I hate computers

I tried to get into Pintrest and link my Simple Pup Recipes - a dog treat cookbook everytime I clicked on it the little pin would go away in a little Poof of fake smoke - I let the company know they should hire me - but cause if I could do ANYTHING right the first time - then they would have a wonderful computer program... cause if a Tech-no-nothing can do it... anyone could.
Sheeezzzzz  I am not that dumb... I followed their instructions...  grrrrrrrr did I mention I hate computers.   Well, I really love 'em, when they work. :)

February 3rd 2012

It is almost Valentines Day - well not quite - but I sent my first two cards out - which really were not cards at all but Journals so the receiver can fill it with all their memories of loves and good times shared. My son was born on Valentines Day in 1976 - at a hospital that is no more - in Anchorage, Alaska - funny how time flies when one is busy living... My husband for this Valentines Day (early) bought some interest in a Gold Mine - guess it is better than getting a Star named after me... the chances of the mine producing funds is a bit better - The weather this winter had been over-the-top WONDERFUL!!!!  Which reminds me I best go feed the horses.
You all have a great day - and I will get back to this blog soon, I have more creative ideas - somewhere out there waiting to be made.  :)
