This one would make a great gift for someone to jot down daily inspiration or favorite prayers.
The rubber stamps I have used on these are from The Unity Stamp Company. They have a great selection of stamps, and their customer service is outstanding~ And Angela has a wonderful blog too!
This one could be a travel journal for your next trip~ or a place to plan your dream vacation.
We were very happy to have Michael join us this year. Last year he stayed up at college and it just wasnt the same...
Michael and Bob had a go of it first.
The crown jewel!!!
The first is a recipe tag that makes an awesome dessert for these chilly evenings. It is stamped and then colored in with watercolor pencils.
Next are a set of walnut inked-coffee stained-vanilla scented tags that are so pretty for a bookmark, journaling spot,package tie-on, or even displayed in an old bowl in the foyer or bedroom. They are sold in a set of 2.
Lastly, there are a set of 4 Thanksgiving tags made from vintage postcard copies. These tags are a large 4 by 6 inches and would make an awesome hostess gift. How about tying one on a bottle of wine, or attaching it with ribbon to the dessert or side dish you are bringing to the feast? The tags are rubber stamped, flowered and crystaled for your viewing pleasure. Thanks for stopping by....
I made this card with a stamp set by C.C.Designs that I turn to quite a bit. The images are adorable and work so well in so many cards. I think this card would work well for either an adult or a child.
Just thought I would share some cute photos of our 3 dogs as they waited their turn for a saturday afternoon bath. Peeking thru the gate is our Wheaton Terrier A.J. He is used to this , as he must frequently go to the groomer for a haircut.
Next up is our baby Kody. He tolerates his bath, but would rather sit back here on the step and be an observer.
Madison decided that she would go first~ At 11 years old, this is nothing new to her. And as a Lab, should'nt she be loving this water thing??
Here is your prize ~ take good care of him...
Here is my daughter happily showing off her new pet goldfish. We play this game every year, and usually come home with one. Last years only lasted about 3 days though. We have high hopes for this guy, and so far he's living up to his expectations!!
Here's a shot of the winning ball. Theresa named her fish "35" because the game was 35 balls for $5.00, and she didnt win until the very last ball.
This llama was watching everything I did. Since we were standing so close to each other, I am real glad he seemed friendly~
My husband enjoyed having conversations with the winning chickens. We were cracking up at this ones hairdo.
For the last few years, we go to our local fall fair and 4H expo. We love to see the animals and then go on the rides. Of course the food is awesome also. I cannot go to a fair without having some cotton candy. What is your favorite fair food? I will have more pictures tomorrow.
Look at these awesome old bingo games!!!! They both are just chock full of great pieces to create with!! There must be about 50-75 bingo cards in total!!! Can you say "Motherload?" I was so excited to find these. And the cards are different in each set~ Im not familiar with the setup on the bottom game. It looks to be pretty old. I got these 2 games, a large bowl for my dog to drink out of when she is outside and 2 new baseball caps all for $3.00. Now thats a good deal!!!!!
I think this little music stand is adorable. Not sure what it was used for originally, because it is so little, but now it will become a display stand for my ATC'S or cards.
I found these at my last stop. Dont you love retro juice pitchers?? Should I know squeeze my own orange juice? they will join my tomato juice pitcher that I got last spring at a different yard sale.
This card , made by me is being sent to The Artman Home in Ambler, PA in celebration of World Alzheimers Day. It was done to thank the caretakers who work in this home for what is often a difficult job. A fellow blogger- http://www.myblogbycammie.blogspot.com/ had a grandmother there who was afflicted with this disease. In honor of her, cammie has made a beautiful stamp set with the proceeds going towards alzheimers research. We all must do our part to bring attention to this illness, which is often harder on the caretakers than it is to the patient. Cammie and many wonderful artists and companies out there have put together a prize package to end all prizes. Please check it out on her blog. Perhaps you know someone who would benefit from a card like this.
This is the cover which was tied shut with seam binding ribbon from the Martha Stewart Collection.
This is a view of the whole book opened. I aged the inside with walnut stain and a little cinnamon to make it smell good.
There is rubber stamping and fairies on each of the pages.
Their tiny wings were glittered to make them all sparkley~
She may be my favorite fairy, sitting atop her postcard. Hope you liked it Rhonda~~~
It is made from a large cigar box. Inside, not only was it decorated to the nines~ it was filled with awesome goodies!!! Did Rhonda peak into my art studio and see what things I love?? She must have~
This is the inside of the box without all the goodies.
Here is a side view. It stands up on its own little feet~
The little feet are old fashioned wooden spools! Done to perfection!!! Thank you
