Visitors of the good kind

I had 2 visitors this afternoon. Not birds or critters of any kind either. Jenn and Sadera popped over for a short visit. They delivered Anthony's scout thing he was selling. They also were excited about all the purses Colleen had left here. Sadera had fun looking through them all.

I spent a greater share of the day finalizing the packaging of the swaps for Artistic Affaire Deux in 2 weeks. Getting really excited about the weekend. I joined the house swap, canvas swap and the cigar box swap. All are done just needed to figure out the packaging. Yesterday at Zoey's I picked up some beautiful muted material with flowers and birds. I made little envelopes with lace and buttons to put the houses in. It took me a bit to figure out the pattern but I finally came up with it and from there on it went pretty quickly. I only needed to make 6 of them so that wasn't so bad


For the canvas I used a Halloween bandanna and then added a tag. We won't know who are swap partner is until we arrive at Kim's house.


Here is Sadera clowning around in a mask that Beth and Pete made. Sadera wants to wear this for Halloween. Anyway she had fun posing for her Mom. Her Mom had fun playing with my camera!!!!





So that wraps up my weekend Back to work tomorrow.

Today: Chaos, Cooking, Cleaning and Creating

Image
What a day. I think I put the "Labor" into Labor Day. After yesterday, where I basically sat all day I needed to get going. And get going I did. From laundry to cleaning to grocery shopping to creating I have had a busy day. I have decided that what I eat sucks. I rarely cook a good meal and then at bedtime I am back to starving. So in my great wisdom I decided I needed to get with it and start fixing better meals for myself. Cooking for 1 is not the most inspiring thing. I am so used to cooking for larger groups and I tend to make too much. any how armed with a list for the grocery store and determination I headed out. I shopped and shopped, loaded all the groceries into the car and unloaded all the groceries from the car when I got home. From there it was a whirlwind of mixing and making my meals for the week. But let's be honest I probably made enough for 2 weeks plus. Groceries waiting to be put away and made into meals It only took about 30 minutes to whip this all t

Tag Dress Form= a great day

Image
Yesterday Kim and I took an Altered Dress Form with tags class at Mystic Paper with Lisa Super . This was a fun self paced class. I managed to get a few tags completed and Kim went a different direction and painted her dress form with gesso and gessoed her tags. The tags she completed were beautiful so I am anxious to see hers completed too. All of us had unique tags even though we were working with the same supplies. Lisa had tons of paper, flowers, stamps and on and on for us to complete the projects. Of course I did a wee bit of shopping and was able to pick up Prima's new stitched papers and 3 of their acrylic stamps as well as a wonderful new stand to hang "things" on. Then I scored some of Kim's new wood shapes. Loving her new line! So here you go tons of pics The new Prima stitched papers and a couple of collage sheets for future projects My fabulous new stand with my new Prima stamps And the new wood shapes by Kim. And congrats Kim on the overwhelming success
