Good morning, crafty friends!
Thanks for stopping in. I should be able to visit everyone this week. Bob is off to his brother's in OK this weekend then could possibly head back to work on Tuesday.
I have a lot to catch up on so let me show you a rather tidy desk this morning.
Before I do that, I have this picture I took for Elizabeth from Elizabeth & Bluebeard
I saw this rocking horse in a consignment shop a few weeks ago. I immediately took my phone out and snapped the picture to show her. For those of you who don't know, Elizabeth collects rocking horses. I'd love to have taken this to her but a photo will have to do.
Okay, the desk:
Not super exciting as I was actually crafting on the dining room table last night while I visited with Bob.
These are junk mail envelopes (right) and tags for them (left).
As is the challenge for this week on my YouTube channel to use pattern paper (so much easier than printing off, I imagine, Miss Julia. ;-) I decided to cover all five of the envelopes with the pattern paper. I'll need to decorate at least one on my video for tomorrow. I hope to have the other four done before I have to film this afternoon.
The tags are made from the scrapbook paper pack from Stampin' Up! that I'm using for this kit. I've cut each one to size and glued an aged piece of spiral notebook paper to the back for journaling. I still need to decorate the inside of the envelope for what you'll see through the window when the tag is removed. Still thinking on that one. To the far left you'll see scraps from the retired paper pad, Painted Autumn. I'm really trying to work through my stash!
I hope you all stopped in to see our very own
Tracy Easson on the blog last month. Tomorrow, I'll be featuring cardmaker, Justine Hovey. Justine shared excited news a couple of months ago and I knew I needed to bring her on board to let all of you know what she's up to.
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!
