On the work table

Here's what's on my work table: These are TINY~ One inch by One and a half inch..

Each one cut and embellished separately. They are for a soldered charm swap..The background for each is a page torn from a time book that is over 70 years old. A bit of egg display image was used in each background and each one has some type of swirl on it..and each has the initial of the recipients on it.

This is only ONE side of the charm..the other will be one of my photographs... So, if your in the swap, here it's a sneaky peak..If not..I may have some similar on my Etsy soon. That is much neglected at them moment~

We woke up to fog here in the prairie this morning..it's a bit odd to see it in the middle of summer..and the weather stick is pointing down, so that means more rain for the day. I hope it's correct on it's prediction~

I read this and thought it a bit funny, see what you think:

Number of guys who, like Tim Taylor, have asked a neighbor for advice over the fence: 1 in 4.

Number who say the advice was lousy: 1 in 5.

What do you think about those numbers?? I thought it was a riot~ that came from Men's Heath Mag, btw~

Fall Paper Cowgirl sign ups are under way~ Check it out~

Hope your Tuesday is a slow ride~ enjoy the trip!

Swap Goodness

OMyGosh..ya'll !!! I have to show you the goodness my Flickr partner Lisa sent me! She decorated the outsides and insides of it all..it was just one thing after another to look at! Her attention to detail is wonderful...


I have to confess, I've been very jaded about swapping lately..I have felt slighted more than enough times this last year...

But, this Vintage Ephemera flickr group, I'm in..these gals know how to swap!!!

I have lusted after some vintage Valentines for awhile now, for I have only found a very few that I would pay for..WELL, Lisa was very, very generous with hers to me!!!

We had to fill up a candy box with goodness..I just thought I stuffed my full to her...she gave a new meaning to over filled..lol

She even gave me a file folder (decorated of course) full of papers and sheet music and such..

So...there you have it..some of that goodness Lisa shared with me...It's been such fun 'meeting' people thru blogs and flickr from all over that share the same interests..you don't feel so alone when there is no one in your neighborhood how has the same addictions to paper and ephemera!

THanks AgAin LISA for all the goodness you shared with me and I hope you had as much fun opening yours!! Happy V-Day!!

Happy Tuesday!
