FUTURE PROJECTS SHOWCASE!

 Good afternoon!

Bob took me to brunch this morning so I'm late coming in. I should have typed this up yesterday. However, I am right on time. As I opened the window, the time was 1:11 AND I saw that I have 1,111 posts. 

I study numerology and the 111 stands for - New Beginnings:  It signals a fresh start, a new cycle, or an open door in your life path. That's what this post is all about. New challenges for the month.

I'm needing to get back into Spectrum Art Creations challenges to try and win gift certificates. Social Security puts a crimp in my spending. 

If you'll go to my video from Saturday you'll see a flip-through of the Fabrika Decoru kit I'll be working with as well as the G45 papers I bought.

Here's a list of the challenges I'll be playing with this month:

Fabrika Decoru collection

Simply Stories

Halloween

Abstract

Aside from the themed challenge, there are the on-going Video Challenges:

Haul video- showing what we've purchased

Comment video - Whenever her videos reach a minimum of 20 comments on each one, the names go into a drawing.

I've made a list of what I need to do for each one: 

FABRIKA DECORU 

Tag Tuesday's (5)

Wednesday Album Progress (4)

SIMPLY STORIES

Sundays (3)

G45 HALLOWEEN

Friday Freebies (3)

ABSTRACT is the word prompt for this month. I hope to take at least an afternoon to play with Metallic Gilding Pastes

I want to get all the videos/ blog posts set up in the next two weeks, then I can start on the 31 Days of Halloween for October. I have decided those are all going to be Index Cards so if you want to play along next month, collect your October themed items (Halloween/ Gratitude/ Fall) and a stack of index cards in a size of your choice. Those will begin October 1.

All videos will be short so I can upload within my bandwidth restrictions. 

I'll be back tomorrow to show you our first Fabrika Decoru tag.

Creative Blessings!

WOYWW #618 - In Between Projects and Lost Keys!

 Good morning, crafty friends.

I'm going to preface this post by saying I had a fabulous day yesterday. After getting a few blog posts written, I took off for a lovely day of bill paying and shopping. My main goal was a stop at a local quilt store called The Rusty Moon & Quilts. I love his shop - yes you heard me right. The shop is owned by The McKinney family. Kurt is the prominent figure in the store. He can help with everything from helping you select fabric to running the long arm (which is really his primary duty).  

If you need a shopping cart - and I mean, who doesn't when you enter a quilt store?! - this is what you will use:

Tool cart from Harbor Freight

I new the Rusty Moon carried Tim Holtz fabrics. Tim is revamping everything about his product and is using a different company for the new fabric line being released to stores this month. I still had a few of his original line that I didn't have. Kurt had five of them. I'm still checking other stores to see if I can pick up any more.

On the drive there I heard a radio commercial for a yard sale in the town I was headed to. When the announcer said 'vintage linens' I knew I'd be hunting up that sale! I came home with lots of yummies. Several I'll be using in journals as well as sharing in my Etsy shop in the coming weeks.

Aside from paying a couple of bills, I stopped at ACE hardware to visit with one of the gals I've made friends with there, a bakery to set up an interview with the owner for my current book in progress, a thrift store, the yard sale (which was more of a huge church rummage sale) and had the opportunity to snoop through this for research on another series:

While this isn't an official NASCAR tour bus, the bus is owned by a local hardware store owner. He and his buddies used it for a tailgate party bus at Nascar events. I had the opportunity to go through the bus, take tons of pictures. Mind you, I've been on a lot of tour buses doing interviews in my career as an entertainment writer but this is the first time I've been able to really look in all the nooks and crannies.

I'm thinking somewhere between the church and this sale lot is where I lost the ring of keys that held my house, storage and mail box keys. I didn't realize they were gone until I'd stopped closer to home for supper.  Not a major thing. All the keys are replaceable and relatively inexpensive to do so except for the mailbox key, it's just not knowing where they are LOL.

Oh... and here's what I'm leaving behind as I go on the hunt for those keys:

Remnants of my card for the color challenge yesterday, the quilt that I film on is rolled out of the way as I was doing some last minute gluing. and a general mess of stuff I really need to put away. I'll throw a white sheet over the lot this morning and film the haul video so that can be uploading while I'm out between raindrops looking for those keys.

That's it for my desk (and story) this week. Who's Miss Julia and why am I here?  When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Stamping Ground  for all the details. Miss Julia has a long list of other studios you can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window. We open the doors wide and welcome you.  Please leave your number and you'll be among the first on my list. 

Creative Blessings
