Another Piece

I love this newest piece I made.  The original pattern is by a member of our Seedbeadersters Yahoo group and I just tweaked it a little.  It was part of my birthday present to my friend Carole.  I definitely need to make one for myself, as I just love it!!! 

This last photo is a Russian spiral bracelet I made.   Hope y'all enjoyed my latest passion!!!

Finally Some Photos!

Thanks to my girlfriend Carole, who along with my granddaughters is most often the recipient of the jewelry I make, I have pictures (nice ones at that) of 2 pieces of my work, the first being a very early piece and the second my absolute latest, her birthday present, completed and given to her yesterday.  Enjoy...

SURE HAS BEEN A WHILE

I have not been on my blog in so long I thought it was gone... LOL.  I have not been working in paper for so long that I have had nothing to share with my paper loving friends.  For the past year or more I have been cuttin' only wire and/or beading thread and have not been photographing my work before giving it away.  Though my goal for this year is to begin to sell my jewelry, I am also thinking about getting somewhat into papercrafting again.  Tim's online class is very tempting... Anyway, was just checking to be sure my old blog was still around. 

I did purchase a photography studio to photograph my jewelry but haven't every used it.  Plan to soon practice and then start posting my jewelry hopefully!!  Take care anyone who happens to read this and know I am still alive and well and crafting!!!

A Fun Giveaway at a Fun Craft Site

Want to win a pack of Viva Pearl Pens, I know I do... LOL... the entry can be found at the Favecrafts website and if you haven't been there, make sure you have loads of time to get lost in all that site offers.  It is a GREAT website to inspire you and to help you step by step with brand new projects in just about any craft you want to try!!!  My fav is Eco-Heidi and her incredible recycled projects but there is something (or 4 or 5 somethings) for everyone!!  It is a site you can get lost in.  Have fun there and let me know what you think!!!

Simon Says Stamp and Show and More

I failed to mention in my post about Terry's card that I was entering it into the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge.  Alas, it is too late for that one I think but believe me, I won't be forgetting to do that anymore...  and as I think of it, I forgot to mention I also entered it in Hels Sunday Stamper challenge on her blog.   There are so many challenge sites anymore and I rarely have the time to participate but it is always great fun when I can...  Though I said I entered at Grungy Monday I didn't link to it so go have fun on Linda's blog too.  Now, go check out each of their latest challenges.  They know how to keep you busy!!!

YAY!!! Terry got her Thank You card

I am so glad Terry got her thank you card and enjoyed it.  Now, I can share it with the rest of the world... LOL...  it will be submitted to the Grungy Monday challenge, at the very least, but Terry mentioned some others it would work for.   Here it is, using 2 Tim techniques:

That Terry is such a sweetie!!!

MOSAS 29

I finally completed my last OSA MOSAS 29 project.  I chose to make a box with a drawer and then I filled the drawer with some goodies for the recipients.  Here are the very poor quality photos of the boxes:

I just realized that at the bottom you can sort of see the drawer.  So, I took another photo (of just one box) with the drawer open somewhat, with the goodies wrapped inside:

OK, that's it.  I am on to a new project!!!
