A New Year – A New Start

Posted in Just my Thoughts, tagged , , , on 30 December 2007 | Leave a Comment »

I have been blogging at Yahoo! 360 for some time.  I do like it for the most part but there are issues that I am having and they bother me a lot.  First, I don’t like when it looks like some of my blogs have disappeared.  I have over 200 entries in the last year [...]

I was back at Green Pepper Press’s Street Team and…. what a shock! Crusade #15 is where I live. About two years ago or so, I did a round robin altered book that had this same theme. Above is both the Crusade #15 banner and the spread I did for my altered book. If I [...]

Victorian Ornament

I have to say that this was out of my comfort zone. Victorian is not my style. I don’t work in that era often and very seldom like what I do when it comes to that. This ornament is an exception. The challenge was to create something using a vintage holiday image of your choice, [...]

Aspirations versus Resolutions

Posted in Just my Thoughts, tagged , , , , , on 28 December 2007 | 1 Comment »

I have always said, in recent years, that I do not make new year’s resolutions. I set in writing my aspirations for the new year. People sort of laugh and say what’s the difference?

… yesterday. Special thanks to Tim Holtz for his “12 Tags of Christmas.” The idea he used on day five gave me inspriation and the idea to make my mom a pin. I picked dominoes as they are non-porous and the Adirondack Alcohol Inks that I have had for forever it seems. The image above [...]

Leisure Suit Larry

Okay, I am not a big game player. I occasionally pick up the WiiMote and bowl or play tennis but I don’t play Guitar Hero much. I occasionally threaten that I am going to ask for the Dancing with the Stars game for the Wii. So, my son who swears the Wii is his likes [...]
