Index Card A Day




Okay......... I have a plan....

I'm going to do Daisy Yellow's 3 x 5 Card a Day Challenge for June and July!
You should join me!!!
 
I've also been doing 21 Secrets!
There are 21 teachers with 21 classes with videos.....
 you can do it at your own pace (which I definitely require).
 
 I do love this new world we live in with online classes!
 
Tammy Garcia (Daisy Yellow) is one of the teachers at 21 Secrets...
and that's how I found out about the 3 x 5 card a day challenge...
from her blog!

Let me know if you've done this before...
it's my first time!!!

Happy Friday!

Busy Weekend



Attended a beautiful Greek wedding last Saturday night...
 
I could've taken a ton of gorgeous shots of the beautiful sanctuary....
But it didn't seem "appropriate" if ya know what I mean....
 
Above is a quick shot with my phone....
 
And then we went to the reception...
 That's DH and I with our son and his wife.....
love those photo booths!
 
(Above I'm looking shocked...
Below I'm looking snooty...
in case you wondered!)

It's stilllll May!



Remember when I showed you this?
Well, my daughter got it for me!
It's her combo Mother's Day/Birthday gift to me!!
 
For now it's on my kitchen bar/counter.
I love being able to see the back and the front!

My sweet daughter-in-law (and son) got me the candle that is in front of it...
along with a bag of other stuff from Anthropologie!
They know they can't go wrong at Anthropologie!


Patty sent me this gorgeous bird cross that is art from Haiti.
(for my birthday)
 
On the left is an angel that I bought when Rebecca Sower was
helping sell Haiti items....
 
These two are perfect together
and
I am going to have to find a third
to go with them!

(Patty didn't know I had the angel!!!)
 



..... about those previously mentioned classes.....
I just snapped my table top because I'm too lazy to do more than that right now.

So you are getting all iphone pics today....

these are just background pages mostly..
 
I'm taking the 21 Secrets class.
  I'm having trouble giving you a link without my log in page....
so if you are interested in it...
just google it.

 It's a great class...... 21 different artists.
 
The collaged page on the bottom is what I did in
 
I really enjoyed her lessons!
 
Happy weekend!

Early Morning Thoughts

 
I've been a bad blogger....
I'm still in a creative slump....
 
But I did enter my local library's Altered Book Competition...



I used one of my altered books that is a work in progress...
 
I added some new work to it...
including my old standby scripture nest....
 
 
 

 
I won the Adult Division!!!
 
 
I get a $15 Michael's Gift Card!
 
..and I started taking an online class...
I'll show you what I've done in that soon...
