Silly girl...
I had to sneak over and take a picture.
A friends story....
Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing
could dampen her excitement – not even her parent's nasty divorce.
Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear, and
would be the best-dressed mother-of-the- bride ever!
A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her
father's new, young wife had bought
the exact same dress as her mother!
Jennifer asked her father's new young wife to exchange
it, but she refused. "Absolutely not! I look like a million bucks in
this dress, and I'm wearing it," she replied.
Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, ''Never
mind sweetheart. I'll get another
dress. After all, it's your special day.''
A few days later, they went shopping, and did find
another gorgeous dress for her mother.
When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her
mother, ''Aren't you going to
return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion
where you could wear it."
Her mother just smiled and replied, ''Of course I do,
dear.....I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night
BEFORE the wedding.''
Oh the virtue of a wise woman.....gotta ♥ it!

Sunflower mini
I got this idea from watching a YT video by Regan at Emora Designs.
She made it look so simple but I had a bugger of a time getting the paper to adhere to the chipboard.....why I do not know but the end result was worth it!
I wish you could see how shimmery they really are....the color is more vibrant than any shimmer mist out there.
While the pages were drying I glued two flowers together with a 1 3/4" circle between them.
I then used a piece of pink ribbon to attache the pages and an angel charm to the front.
Darn...the picture showing the back just got deleted....all I did was place a piece of pattern paper with a butterfly on it to the back circle.
I really like the way this mini turned out and probably will make another one for my grandchildren. Also, these would make great photo magnet gifts too!
That's it for today...enjoy your weekend and be as creative as you can not only in your art but in your life♥

Chipboard Sign....
So I'm posting it here instead.
Ok let's get back to the sign.....now where was I......oh yes, the flowers.......the centers are tiny
I Am Roses white and purple roses that were gifted to me as well as the leaves. I too painted them with the shimmer paints.
The blue satin lollypop flower is my first attempt at making them.
I added some bling by Recollections and the butterflies are from a Martha Stewart punch.
I used my dynamo label maker for the name...and that's it.

CC Creations....
Here are the two newest creations we did and our technique was paper piercing and using embroidery floss...not my style...
You know I use to be a great photographer with a 35mm but I stink with the digital. I could do all sorts of photo manipulation with the 35 but not with this digital...oh well times have changed and it is what it is!
Glitter bottles....
Little did I know that Donna Salazar would come out with 3 big salt shakers of Fairy Dust at CHA....smile!
Now I'm on a mission to find another set of these, for the rest of my glitters.
I wonder if the larger salt/pepper shakers would work for my embossing powder? Looks like a trip to the .99 store is on the list today...I'll let you know how that works too.

So, I decided to make him a pot of home made applesauce. Cut up 6 lbs of apples while watching the latest CSI online. Gotta catch up on Bones later...:-D

A Special gift for hubby....
The front cover of this 12x12 mini album. I saw Tim Holtz's video on how to make one of these on YouTube and I knew I had to make one for Bryan. The rosette I made using Vellum paper and an old music note stamp by Stampin Up. I like the way it turned out and it looks so rich on the cover.
