Shoppin in Savannah

I took this photo at a shop called @Home Victorian General. It was everything that you and I love! If you google it, you can find it and she has a blog...but I am pretty sure it's not set up for online shopping. But I SO LOVED this store...it's in Savannah, Georgia. I bought a few things. I'll do more pictures when I get home. Right now we are in Hilton Head, SC...which is beautiful as well. But I haven't found any of those "kind of shops" we love yet. But I have two more days to look! If you know of any place on Hilton Head Island I should go...leave a comment before Wed noon. I could possibly go Thursday...but we do fly out of Savannah Thursday in the late afternoon.

A rose instead

I fought the urge to put a new photo of David Cook up...and put a rose instead.

This is a close-up of one that DH gave me for my birthday.

I'm leaving for Savannah, GA on Wednesday!! I'm really looking forward to it. DH and I will just be pure tourists there and that Sunday, June 1st we'll drive over to Hilton Head, SC for a few days. I've always wanted to go there... so I am excited. I have two books that need reading.

I don't know if I'll get any photos uploaded on my blog while I'm away, but I should be able to do some posts as I'll have DH's computer. Thursday, the 5th, is our 32nd wedding anniversary!!

David Cook!

YESSSSSSS!

Another Year!

Yes, yesterday was my birthday... let's just put it this way - next year is a big one! See the bracelet I got!!! It's from Anthropologie! My DD gave it to me! And my friend, Virginia, made the necklace for moi! Roses from DH! I didn't take a picture of the great purse my DS gave me... it's by Fossil and I sent him the picture and pretty much everything but the sku. I was with my DD when she bought my bracelet. Do you think I have control issues? Well, they did ask for help. I don't think I ever showed you the bug and butterfly inchies I got in the swap... and these are my inchies for the Alphabet Swap on Christian Paper Artists Yahoo Group. I have the letter "s".... Now...go vote for David Cook on American Idol!

Monday, May 19th

It's my birthday!

It's Friday Again!

Yesterday was pretty productive for me. I did a lot of CLEANING HOUSE and... I did art! I made this little booklet a few months ago and just couldn't figure out what to do with it. After getting my great book from Natalea the other day, I decided I should sew some ledger pages in it. Now I'm going to mail it to someone on my CPA RAK List today! Oh...look...one more shot of it! I think it would be good to put quotes in? It's basically a folded book. Then I worked on my piece for the 4 x 4 Patriotic Swap... again on CPA List. Today I'm going out to look for red/white/blue crepe paper... I tried painting my white, but not too great - I was just making myself stay home yesterday and use what I have. Well, today is a new day and I'm goin out! That is Martha Stewart glitter on the edges. Napkin base. AND.... I finally sat down and put together my charm bracelet kit that I bought from Altered Belly! I love it. I NEEDED another bracelet.

I ALSO worked on my star inchies for the CPA List swap...but I will save that for tomorrow ... or later today.

Just Tuesday

Christine wanted to know what a greenbelt was. See above. It's a bike trail, walking trail, greenbelt..... I'm not sure why they call it a greenbelt - where I live is called "the livable forest" so it's all green...but there are these trails that run through it and TPTB call them "greenbelts". More flowers - everything is blooming!

I got the above in the mail yesterday from my friend Anna! All good stuff... vintage buttons and then tags that she bought for me at Sweetpeas & Snapshots in Santa Monica. When I read on her blog that she was going there for the day .... with Amanda.... I grabbed the phone and called her and said "You MUST go to this store!" They loved it - of course! Friends don't let friends miss good shopping. Also some other goodies!!! Nothing like a bag of paper art goodies to set things right in the world.
