Happy Monday!!

Here's what's on the work table:
ideas are flowing with this paint fan I had leftover when they changed the names and colors at a paint company..




My bag of old papers was calling my name, and I wanted to use them in a cool way..

I was feeling the need to be inspired , so I hopped over to Tim Holtz site and viewed a few of his demo videos for some ideas..I just love that wings and heart thing he's always doing..so I knew these old papers would look very cool..

Then I pulled out the grunge board I've had for ages and ran some of it thru my cutter and made some hearts..one is just plain chipboard the other is the GB...

I'm not too impressed with TH's line of crackle paints..I don't seem to get big cracks, I've applied it thick and thin and get the same small crazing..and it leaves the brush strokes, which sometimes is a good thing..but I really don't always want them to show..

Now all this mess is waiting for me to do something with it...I'll be sure to show you the finished project!

The solder class went well over at The Craft Scrapper this past Saturday! I was too busy to take photos..so maybe Carolyn will have hers posted on TCS blog. Thanks again to all those who attended and for TCS for having me there! We scheduled more classes!!

Paper Cowgirl is filling up nicely and we are having alot of questions and such! Cindy and I are looking forward to meeting all the new gals and seeing the returning Cowgirls from last year!!

Happy Monday!

Good Will finds

Headed off to town. I was going after a hollow core door..hub is making me a computer desk in the studio's closet..we wired it for that when we built but just have not finished out that one little detail of a desk top..well, Good Will is just on the way to the Home Box store..so I had to stop..right?





Do you try to think about what you want to find when you are about to thrift? I do, I was thinking along the lines of a bingo or scrabble game today..


Instead, I found this:

These sweet baby pages came out of a Home Health Encyclopedia that was OLD..maybe as old as some of my friends who were born is the FIFTIES..snicker.. I took the pages I wanted out of it and just pitched the rest of it..I have way too many books and didn't need one full of medical jargon..

Found this cool old Texas tin tray..put it up with all my other collectibles in the kitchen..an older spool of velvet type ribbon..which was wonderfully aged and the red was not bright anymore so that was perfect..

Then the find I was not after:

It's worn and ragged and scribbled in, but for a buck, it was mine!! So, I came away from there smiling and high fiving myself over this little book, everyone lusts after..yea baby!

Have a great day and hope you find some goodies too !
