Photo Courtesy of Creating Keepsakes Today's the day! I can't believe it has been TWO whole years since I started this blog. I wasn't sure then where this adventure would lead, but it certainly has been more than my wildest dreams ever expected. I was just on a search for a few people to exchange artistic ideas with. And two years later I have so many new friends from places all over the world ~ imagine that! It is an honor to be a part of this technological experience with so many, many warm, wonderful, generous, kind and talented people. Thank you all for stopping by to say hello once in a while, and for swapping and sharing and exchanging gifts, supplies and ideas, and mostly for all the support you give to me.
Blogging has been so much more than I ever imagined.
So to help me celebrate and also to say THANK YOU to all of you, I want to have a little giveaway to mark this special occasion. I'm keeping the prize a secret, because surprises are always so much fun. But if you leave a comment on THIS post I will draw a winner from the all names in a week,
on Saturday, May 3. Good luck to everyone!
This is a little piece I made yesterday using vintage papers for the Casa Bella E-Zine Class. You can click on the pictures for a closer look. Hope you all have a great weekend!
A while back, Heather asked us to do a RAK for Mel because she was undergoing major surgery to remove a tumor from her brain. Happily, the surgery was a success and once Mel returned home she was presented with a container filled with lots of wonder handmade tags and greetings. You can see pics of Mel receiving the RAK gifts here. Pictured above and below is the tag I made for Mel. It was so much fun to make ~ I hoped she liked it!
The little vignette pictured below sits atop a cupboard in my kitchen. I have a teeny-tiny kitchen and not much space to have anything pretty around except for the top of this cupboard. I change it out as the mood hits and right now I have this little grouping soaking up the sun from the lace covered window.
These robin's egg blue spheres I made are another of the Casa Bella projects. These were easy-peasy to make. I have them sitting in an antique milk glass candy dish which once belonged to my aunt. I have a small collection of milk glass which once belonged to either my mother, my aunt or my grandmother. I think of them whenever I see or use these pieces. I remember this dish being used on my aunt and uncle's beautiful covered patio in the summertime.
