Mixed Media Necklace

Mary's necklace

Last month at one of my art group meetings we made these cool mixed media necklaces. The meeting was at Mary's house and she fixed a great lunch of taco potatoes with salad. YUM YUM!! She did a wonderful job of kitting a bag for everyone. I wished I had taken a photo of the cute bag but I didn't. She made the numbers from shrink plastic and most of the rest of the items were from the Tim Holtz line of Ideaology products. It was a fun project for sure!

Field of Sunflowers

I was on my way to a class at Crafty Scrapper yesterday and saw this beautiful field of sunflowers off Interstate 35. I have never seen this here. It was so pretty I had to stop on my way home and get some photos. Some of the heads of the flowers were bigger than a dinner plate. Incredible!!

Alan & I

We went to La Hacienda Ranch restaurant for lunch today. My favorite food, Mexican! This bear was in the entryway so I had to get a picture with him. He was really big! His sign said "welcome to the ranch". Had a great Mother's Day! Got flowers and a new purse!

May Mouse Card

This is the final card I will be doing for House Mouse. Hobby Lobby has cancelled the Stamp of the Month program for House Mouse. Sorry to see this program go but all things change at some point. I have enjoyed my experience with Crafts Etc (Hobby Lobby). They are a great bunch of people to work for. Very professional and generous. I have enjoyed these past several years immensely.

Arty Wooden Birds

I actually had some time this past weekend to make a few birthday gifts for some friends. Two people in one of my art groups had shown the birds they had made and I just loved them! So off to Michael's I went to buy raw wooden birds. I already had enough jewels to add to the birds, it was just hard to decide what to use. But in the end I didn't think they needed a lot of embellishment. They were fun to create!

Wedding Of Heather & Josh

In February one of my good friend's daughter was married. I helped out with the wedding as much as I could. Making some of the corsages, helping with setting up the alter, as well as getting everyone down the isle on the big evening and making sure everything went off without a hitch at the reception. There were a few hiccups but the bride and groom never knew a thing and all was well in the end. Below are a few pictures a wonderful friend of the bride's family took. Enjoy!
