Extreme Make Over...

Boy do I wish all I needed was a dash of glitter, some tulle and a sassy bow
to take me from basic item to a fun treat...and let me tell you...right now,
this "fun treat" is in serious need of a dye job! Oh, to be a match box! ;}

Pretty-ing Up Plastic...For Easter

Here I am, searching for just the right eggs to decoupage when all along I could
have been slapping paper on the cheesy cheap-o dime-store eggs I already had!
DUH! I had this idea that the paper wouldn't adhere...DUH! Then I saw what
the sisters @ Nice & Easy Antiques did...right in front of my eyes...easy
as pie...1...2...3!




Thx girls!




It's addicting really!




So much scope for the imagination!




And there's still time! Get going! You have baskets to fill! ;}

If You Go Chasing Rabbits..

The wonderful Karla of Karla's Cottage was our hostess for the
Alice: Tag Book Swap...which meant that she had to create, receive,
organize, attach & mail out 100 billion Alice In Wonderland tags!!! All
whilst {I thought I'd go with that English influence!;} feeling ever so
poorly! What a trooper! Now, that's what I call mid-western gumption!
{sorry... the English thing is over ;}




She wrapped our tag sets up so fabulously! And included a tiny bottle of that potion! And! Drew her own Alice! Sheesh!




These are the other tags that were included...sooooo interesting to see
every one's interpretation of all things Alice!





Rabbits...tea...wonder...





And this was mine...red...I know! What is up with that? Huh? I really
just wanted to use my little cups, saucers & spoons!

Thank you Karla for all your hard work! This was really fun!

The "Novelty" Still Hasn't Worn Off...

I guess my cats better watch out! Cuz I just might cover them with words too...
this starfish just wasn't fast enough to get out of my path!




I just cut up the strips and and gathered the complimentary bits & bobs...




I couldn't decide if I liked it or not...




so, I didn't want to commit to anything...




but now it's growing on me, so I think I'll make a few more.
