Pennsylvania

As I was in Pennsylvania last week, I haven't finished much except Joanne's 4th of July box and some jewelry which I haven't photographed yet.

Got my 4th of July box!

Got a wonderful surprise in the mail yesterday - Kathy's 4th of July box !  Thank you, Kathy!!! All sorts of goodies! Joanne-you'll get yours soon, I promise!

Rest to Create!

After a very crazy busy week - but wildly fun & successful - at work, I'm resting & aiming to create a little tonight - whoo hoo! I haven't journalled or anything since last weekend and I still need to plant my tomatoes.

This scan is from an old scrapbook from my friend Rhea. Feel free to create something marvelous with it! It's art with JELLO... there's always room for art with Jello!

Another happy little find is this great idea to use a wine rack to hold yarn! LOVE the colors! What if you filled it with vodka and kittens?! That would be awesome!

Hey - back to pens... Sharpie has 80's glam colors out!! OMG like gag me with a pen! I'm like so getting those. OMG ...sorry, just goin' back to my middle schol days. The colors: Argyle Green, Leg Warmer Orange, Jellie Pink, Banana Clip Yellow and Valley Girl Violet

Necklace Exchange

This is my necklace in the necklace exchange organized by Joanne with my other extremely crafty friends: Beth, Kathy, & Sue. We each created 5 inches on each of our necklaces. My theme was Victorian Mourning/Red/Gun Metal kind of goodies... Thanks to all of you for making my necklace so gorgeous!

Spring Garden

Got a ton of great plants and I'm slowly getting them planted. Too hot, not enough soil, hot again... lots of excuses, but the plants don't agree! They're growing like crazy! The irises are blooming more than I've ever seen them bloom and the lilac is just covered(pics coming soon)! All three roses are blooming too!

Intention Words Photo Project

Impatient awaiting a collaborative book to arrive in the mail... it's Intention Words that I participated in with Catherine Anderson's great photo group. Can't wait! She always does a beautiful job organizing and assembling our books. My word is "Restore," which seems to be a reoccurring theme this year.

New Pen Addiction

The Uniball Signo White Gel Pen UM 153.
This pen is awesome. I must order MORE!!!
And yet doesn't have enough ink in it... mine is almost gone. I'm finding on the internets that the ink is made of angels. I understand why. I'm thinking of doing my reports at work on colored paper so the ink will show. THe pink at the top is my addition - so I can tell it apart from the impostors in my pen case.
