Oh my! I looked at my blog and have five days really gone by since my last post? Of course I updated last week's coupon post since then, but still, where has the time gone? For one thing, I've been battling another nasty bug, and am on round two of antibiotics, this time, Cypro! Anyone remember that one from the anthrax scare in 2001? What is it with these resistant Kentucky bugs I seem to be catching? But enough about being sick!
I've been working on a wedding mini book that I was commissionned to do. All the papers I used are from the
Best Creations line of papers! BC is known for their beautiful glitter paper! The album is finished, yeah! I'm hoping that Pat will both really love it and give me permission to share it with you! She plans on bringing it to CHA so that we can show it to Richard the owner of Best Creations! How awesome is that?
Friday, I created a mini-album to offer as a class and I must say I love the project and I've already got one taker for the class! I used the Girls' Paperie - Paper Girl Collection to make it! I still need to add the title and I'm debating whether people should also make their own bigger rose for the front of the book, not sure they'll have the time! Maybe we can do that in the next class! I spent a bunch of time today using different punches, die-cuts and techniques trying to come up with an easy to teach flower, both big and small! Getting there, I think!
As part of the e-course I've been taking, I've been reading blogs, lots of blogs, but I've got to say that the one that has captivated me this week is Monica's White Bench Blog and particularly her post about her
creative space! I just have to share that with all of you, her space literally makes me drool, not because it is big, but because it is so absolutely beautiful! Way to go Monica! What's more, Monica, like me, loves to make teddy bears, though like me too, she hasn't made one in a long time! Have I ever shared my favorite bear? Well here he is, meet Loam. I took that picture of him today, just beautiful out there, isn't it?
Lastly, I've been spending time looking for pictures, any pictures of my Hilltop Friends' week long visit to SLC and all things scrapbooking and well they all love to eat too. So between classes, including one by my friend
Sue Neil, and visits to various scrapbook manufacturers, they've been visiting diners featured on the Food Network's
Diner's Drive-ins and Dives show. They've been having so much fun on such a fun packed schedule, that I'm thinking that I'll have to wait till they get home to read and see more! Lucky them!
