Lately I've been stuck on ebooks, and I have so many hard copies that I've not read yet. It was time to turn some real pages.<br />
<br />
Among the many books I have on my shelves, I have the first three books in a series by Kate Atkinson. I've never read anything by Atkinson, so I pulled out the first in the series, <i>Case Histories</i>, and started it. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijqq5JkpRmO1aHjHP6SumDtvBPSzqDnWsmaUDw4vP9xFB_8yzsPhtSXWHmPZ1QfXRhFzS9ycFPO6lhUmQ5Cms7p6MsQLPPNzaT3KNJYALyiqDDzfMW1ctyiAqY4Q-WuTYXh8zNaP3aFhE/s1600/Case+Histories.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijqq5JkpRmO1aHjHP6SumDtvBPSzqDnWsmaUDw4vP9xFB_8yzsPhtSXWHmPZ1QfXRhFzS9ycFPO6lhUmQ5Cms7p6MsQLPPNzaT3KNJYALyiqDDzfMW1ctyiAqY4Q-WuTYXh8zNaP3aFhE/s320/Case+Histories.jpg" width="198" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
You can see that Stephan King called it "the best mystery of the decade." High praise and I think the book is delivering on a pleasurable and interesting reading adventure.<br />
<br />
Atkinson takes a good 100 pages telling 4 seemingly unconnected stories. One is about a missing 3 year old, a story of a woman who loses it and murders her husband, the story of a man whose daughter is murdered by a man who has never been caught, and the story about the private detective who seems to be bringing all the stories together. <br />
<br />
Atkinson has a great voice and I like the flow of her writing. For a mystery writer, she is skilled in crafting prose that does more than tell the story with the appropriate clues and foreshadowing and is pleasurable to read. It evokes the feelings that go with the story, so we are not only on the journey to solve the mystery but we get to know the characters in an emotional way. <br />
<br />
If this book is good measure of Kate Atkinson's other books, I will continue to read her other books. Next up:<br />

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Makeovers--I want one, but I'll have to settle for this quick one I gave an old light fixture. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">
<img alt="contemporary-pendant-lighting.jpg" src="webkit-fake-url://442534E1-B0F1-4132-A5DF-CD8E08730A65/contemporary-pendant-lighting.jpg" /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I had one of these except think brass and 70's with plastic candles that were crumbling to nothing. Three or four years ago we took this fixture out of our entryway and put up a new pendant that matched all the light fixtures in our dining room and hallways. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Being the pack rat I am, I stuck this fixture into a box, thinking I might have a garage sale and get a couple of dollars for it. Yeah, right! I never had that garage sale. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I've been looking at all these amazing cloches and wishing I had one, or two, or three, or . . . Anyway one day when I going through my junk, I came across this light fixture and LIGHTBULB! I had an idea. So I dragged it out of the box dissembled it, painted the brass cap, used some 6000 glue to attach the metal part to the glass one and Viola! A cloche that is uniquely mine. And best of all, it was free! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Excuse the lousy photo. I took it at night and, well, it stinks, but you get the idea. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

I've wanted to for a while and really my lack of blogging was a sort of self enforced ban, so here I am! No big earth shattering announcement and I doubt anyone will notice, but still, I am back.<br />
<br />
I've decided that on Wednesdays I will share something from the world of books. Books have always been something I love. I read to live and I live to read. Who said that? <br />
<br />
For a while I've been enjoying Flavia de Luce, an eleven year old sleuth who happens to be a chemistry prodigy and lives in a moldering British estate with her father and two sisters. I know this may sound as though this series is for the juvenile, or young adult readers, but that is not so. Alan Bradley has written her as a delightful, energetic detective and narrator, who is still a child and naive in the most enduring ways, and manages to pull the adult reader in with good story lines. <br />
<br />
The father is absorbed in his stamp collecting and grieving the loss of his wife and Flavia's mother, who was an adventurous soul with a real zest for living. Her death has left some huge holes in her family's lives. This is especially true for Flavia who has no real memories of her mother. The whole family is a study in disfunction and Flavia and her sister live to torture each other. <br />
<br />
There are 5 books so far beginning with <i>The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie</i><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<img alt="9780440338468_p0_v1_s260x420.JPG.jpg" src="webkit-fake-url://8165ADE2-7C1F-498D-BDDF-53FA86F2F2B9/9780440338468_p0_v1_s260x420.JPG.jpg" /></div>
<br />
<br />
Next is <i>The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Bag</i><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<img alt="9780440339175_p0_v1_s260x420.JPG.jpg" src="webkit-fake-url://CACD2670-B563-4376-8DB3-6C3FBEDBF088/9780440339175_p0_v1_s260x420.JPG.jpg" /></div>
<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>A Red Herring without Mustard</i><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<img alt="9780440339861_p0_v1_s260x420.JPG.jpg" src="webkit-fake-url://CB34D546-A975-49C5-8AA0-238323F7D7B7/9780440339861_p0_v1_s260x420.JPG.jpg" /></div>
<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I Am Half-Sick of Shadows</i><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<img alt="9780345532152_p0_v1_s260x420.JPG.jpg" src="webkit-fake-url://A15FBD41-EA5A-4151-B713-8C49E6B0B846/9780345532152_p0_v1_s260x420.JPG.jpg" /></div>
<br />
<br />
and finally my present read: <i>Speaking from among the Bones</i><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<img alt="9780345538680_p0_v2_s260x420.JPG.jpg" src="webkit-fake-url://1F070D74-0D43-43D1-97E5-64614F682869/9780345538680_p0_v2_s260x420.JPG.jpg" /></div>

Forgive me! It is just the way I am.<br />It's also been a lot of months since my last entry. Sorry. I've running from my blog for a while, feeling less than inspired and creative. Maybe now I am back on the wings of inspiration and ready to inspire more than me.<br />For my first day of love, I made a simple card using my Cricut. The cuts come from the following cartridges:<br />The heart and the x are from George and basic shapes with the heart cut at 2" and the x at 1".<br />The sentiment is cut from A Child's Year at 1".<br />Under the heart is a chocolate marshmallow heart which happens to be one of my husband's favorite things. Inside is a sentiment written by me and a carpenter's pencil that I attached to the inside with adhesive.<br />The photos are not great because I took them with my iPad and quickly, but here they are anyway.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcCHLLUytBF7CaUUTR7Y13tEwcnkzDKIZvCJBDhX-YF9a61ZzCqb-NbKgzaEb9y2Q_sF-deIt47wISpf8sqL5TjFGooqcLHvRespxRtTN1P8N9yCGogy1hmVx8rXW-2coeklaYYQV0j28/s640/blogger-image-1820608645.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcCHLLUytBF7CaUUTR7Y13tEwcnkzDKIZvCJBDhX-YF9a61ZzCqb-NbKgzaEb9y2Q_sF-deIt47wISpf8sqL5TjFGooqcLHvRespxRtTN1P8N9yCGogy1hmVx8rXW-2coeklaYYQV0j28/s640/blogger-image-1820608645.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTP6168Ma0iwV_A6JRLk0evMwQc5VxZibghtdVtGCyXdsVM4QGPjh0j-BRpAsiBvKleQbZ6aYqy8DRD_1_zBdXLfkizcXQtXQgvUGPralJ4Kbajpo9PQHgzEw2qp3y5Nv6KVJAMC7WHVk/s640/blogger-image-2023821280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTP6168Ma0iwV_A6JRLk0evMwQc5VxZibghtdVtGCyXdsVM4QGPjh0j-BRpAsiBvKleQbZ6aYqy8DRD_1_zBdXLfkizcXQtXQgvUGPralJ4Kbajpo9PQHgzEw2qp3y5Nv6KVJAMC7WHVk/s640/blogger-image-2023821280.jpg" /></a></div>Debrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01127305394648104716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311542176448263691.post-29936236903323961272011-09-17T08:09:00.000-07:002011-09-17T08:10:04.158-07:00If you love readingNeed a little nookie?<br />It’s time to rock the house with an awesome,<br />amazing PIG OUT!<br />One lucky winner takes all!<br /><br /><br />-The Simple Touch Reader™<br />“Best e-ink reader”<br />–CNET, 06/01/2011<br />Easiest to use 6″ touchscreen<br />Longest battery life-read up to 2 months on just 1 charge<br />Ultra-light and thin-under 7.5 ounces<br />Largest bookstore with more than 2 million titles-get them in seconds<br />Expert recommendations & fun social features<br />-An Oberon gift certificate in the amount of the purchase price of the ALL NEW NST Oberon case!<br />and of course – a $50 BN e-gift certificate to help load up your new nook!<br />Now that you know the prizes are you ready to learn how to enter???<br />Step 1: Subscribe to the Cheap Daily Email.

So until then I’ll give you a peek at what I’m working on.  </p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TUwioxrG_JI/AAAAAAAABVQ/eebinNhpl58/s1600-h/P1070992%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1070992" border="0" alt="P1070992" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TUwipWC1KFI/AAAAAAAABVU/A8oJovnmj58/P1070992_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a></p> <p>I’ll have lots of picture to show you when I’m done.  Until then I hope every one of you has a wonderful and productive day.  </p> Debrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01127305394648104716noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311542176448263691.post-67842176694397422132011-02-03T00:00:00.000-08:002011-02-03T00:00:04.018-08:00Remember that Taco Bell Box?<p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TUopPucGzDI/AAAAAAAABUc/iNz6sL9pivQ/s1600-h/P1070795%5B6%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: ; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1070795" border="0" alt="P1070795" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TUopP7k4bmI/AAAAAAAABUg/Ak5UTEGcY9k/P1070795_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="464" height="359" /></a></p> <p>It’s got a new life and tomorrow it will hold some yummy brownies I’m making for my husband to take to work.

I used Hello Kitty for the Hello Kitty—of course!  The paper is from that My Mind’s Eye Love Nest stack.

I do and I have to get more than one done every week.  I used the sketch over on <a href="http://www.mojomonday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mojo Monday</a> to guide me and let <a href="http://www.mypinkstamper.com/" target="_blank">My Pink Stamper</a> provide the subject—something yummy and I had my card.  </p> <p>Here’s the sketch: </p> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TUDtdoR_OmI/AAAAAAAABPI/8j5-IMw8xJY/s1600-h/mojo125%5B1%5D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: ; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="mojo125" border="0" alt="mojo125" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TUDteOejvKI/AAAAAAAABPM/JvkMxYaAnLY/mojo125_thumb%5B1%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="464" height="400" /></a> <p>And here’s my card:</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TUDtfPcEvVI/AAAAAAAABPQ/pJmcGe6jgNs/s1600-h/P1070910%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: ; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1070910" border="0" alt="P1070910" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TUDtfRDv1aI/AAAAAAAABPU/LaggL9P-UVc/P1070910_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="464" height="349" /></a></p> <p>I used a sheet of paper from that Ever After pack of Cosmo Cricket for the base of the card and a sheet from My Mind Eye’s Love Nest for the top of the card.  The card stock is all scraps from my scrap drawers.  I love it when I use what I have and see my scrap drawers start to dwindle down to nothing.  It’ll be a while until that happens but I am working on it!  </p> <p align="left">The sun like piece behind the coffee cup cut at 3” and the 3 hearts are from Accent Essentials. The coffee cup is from Christmas Cheer and is cut at almost 2”.  I used the contour and hide feature to hide the steamy swirls  that come out of the cup.

The font is Printing press and I welded it with my Gypsy.  The lettering is cut at 1” except for the U and it is cut at about 1 1/4”.  <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TUDtf6s56VI/AAAAAAAABPY/GzBbi_KGAKw/s1600-h/P1070911%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: ; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1070911" border="0" alt="P1070911" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TUDtgCtTg4I/AAAAAAAABPc/3Iwn1UM5P-k/P1070911_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="464" height="349" /></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TUDtg7ykMRI/AAAAAAAABPg/bOOIRuJ3djI/s1600-h/P1070912%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: ; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1070912" border="0" alt="P1070912" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TUDthDUKjNI/AAAAAAAABPk/vTdXy7Vmsn4/P1070912_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="464" height="349" /></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TUDthTlObVI/AAAAAAAABPo/6qv2Q7tkWLw/s1600-h/P1070913%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: ; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1070913" border="0" alt="P1070913" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TUDth3qb3JI/AAAAAAAABPs/G2Z2MEygYBg/P1070913_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="464" height="349" /></a></p> Debrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01127305394648104716noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311542176448263691.post-2270594438793543452011-01-26T00:00:00.000-08:002011-01-26T00:00:10.474-08:00The second half of Acts of Love<p>I had a very busy day!

The Happy Birthday is on page 31.  The cupcake is on page 61 of the From My Kitchen handbook.  There are lots of cuts but the card went together quickly.  I did a little pen work on this card such as a shiny bit on the cupcake and some faux stitching and used pop dots to add dimension.  The paper is from the Sweet stack from <a href="http://dcwvinc.blogspot.com/2010/09/well-hello-monday.html?showComment=1285850288274_AIe9_BHdBTukV41C2nJ6NVTliLmvZi3zPmxYUWwm5Sdp2nPpZArSuS4kj3fu7rJUhe833gelqFve40cyZA0zBMYfvdy8YwgAyOeBxHtz4OW0A0NP1uePWLLVUaGkcs5FhK3zAPh36OxR0T0tjefqzB3hrokyqpwEew4SBOlQHE0p4hX-EGmirdXGOEsNbaAsH-akfqEittRrhGRckaps2l3lJuoM5IgFOt4aTY0aRfPZF1B-B3UVcfk3bn__c54lS6UL8iPv2FvA8GGtHSvAP8PCc3OcgPa9c_v6Mv7csGRwgAUOK1ADj6uhvIVbj96jbn1xJskJ86Zie3Xje9n9tcQxEUFY87AW_KGE3L2WS-KPyByU-F0KXSEkzPaOBQtZLIUNi6QbCxd9cBkod8m8s_YqzO-VspaGaBPkiLV3bcA-SFSWXrZ35VGH1kye7_tB9Y--Vo7ANkwrZR9_kCYPIQPG19ZtXZtMCyp-lgTgO_2gPNJ1kUU4U-sglSZwz-_zjSOwmIEI9ximUeFG9s5H1PlPInmywuguHIHzL-aOB0qyhn7j6UVaJgAfRbBI6W8gdbRw-U7elEidLlkO6vK2GUDYYO0tjxofIDedYtrFe_RI65rBOXloDSCV-yjJLTL7dUgqv7JbnPly49Al9VrHCVaeJHDUBEWqiC_vsPn8UOTCTNNXh0Lp9sRFyxNsLSpmcnmuslVuxKdNtFmCVMUc6Vpv-VBldxaHYLP202oO1Jqdlg5FP4VsyJoldy3p7r1x8Khcbpimrp5MvthA-SC9ORgJOCEMQ8Z9U89LQJUKxjugXmSA12S8zY4#c7121694428228136284">DCWV</a>.

If you read this whoever you are, thank you for the idea.  Any way I tucked it away in my idea book—the one in my head and pulled it out to make this calendar.  I don’t know why I gave it the oriental look but the paper really pleased me.  Anyway it’s a great idea that could be adapted to many different styles and colors.  I’ve made a couple over the years but this one is going to a good friend who needs a calendar on her desk!  Enjoy. <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTkDPsIjt8I/AAAAAAAABJM/MAPaF-1sPxs/s1600-h/P1070828%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: ; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1070828" border="0" alt="P1070828" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTkDPwltniI/AAAAAAAABJQ/7N2qvC6OQCo/P1070828_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="464" height="349" /></a></p> <p>The font is Base Camp and the bamboo stamp is a Hero Arts stamp that I bought especially for this project. I stamped the image on the month pages and then stamped and heat embossed the main image which I then cut out and glued to the page.  I inked all the edges and used my Bind it All to pull it all together.  It measures 9X6 3/4”.  The two main pages are stiff enough to use as a stand for the calendar.  </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTkDQjL3YKI/AAAAAAAABJU/qBV4jIeFyx0/s1600-h/P1070829%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: ; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1070829" border="0" alt="P1070829" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTkDRJAsqxI/AAAAAAAABJY/9qhPgTHTRdo/P1070829_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="464" height="349" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTkDRjF2z2I/AAAAAAAABJc/rbbYWbLtXxs/s1600-h/P1070831%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: ; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1070831" border="0" alt="P1070831" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTkDR3Ga_eI/AAAAAAAABJg/BbqA8Km7VSo/P1070831_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="464" height="349" /></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTkDSUNABzI/AAAAAAAABJk/8orKpMXkW_8/s1600-h/P1070837%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: ; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1070837" border="0" alt="P1070837" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTkDS8FCCZI/AAAAAAAABJo/k6rvbaEVj4E/P1070837_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="464" height="349" /></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTkDTGlXO9I/AAAAAAAABJs/mztMb5SAZ4M/s1600-h/P1070836%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: ; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1070836" border="0" alt="P1070836" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTkDTkEBBhI/AAAAAAAABJw/ZbcqVoxAy54/P1070836_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="464" height="349" /></a></p> <p>The day flips are 1x5”, month flips are 4x5, numbers are 2x3”.  Of course you could make them however long you want.  </p> <p>That’s my project for the day.  I’m still working on that little Valentine’s project and I’m going to leave you another little peek.  </p> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTkDTwc8AjI/AAAAAAAABJ0/E52xlcrnjfY/s1600-h/P1070839%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: ; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1070839" border="0" alt="P1070839" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTkDUu_vWUI/AAAAAAAABJ4/kFUptUnt-wM/P1070839_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="464" height="349" /></a> Debrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01127305394648104716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311542176448263691.post-58732974931540565922011-01-20T00:00:00.000-08:002011-01-20T00:00:07.138-08:0014 days of Valentines box<p>I decided to show you the Valentines box I made 2 years ago for my husband’s 14 days of Valentines.

Of course I could never say that!</p> <p>The paper is a stack that is exclusive from <a href="http://www.mymindseye.com/Index.asp" target="_blank">My Minds Eye</a> for Hobby Lobby called Love Nest. I picked it up today with my %40 off coupon. It’s a nice glitter stack and the colors are not all pink and feminine, so I think it will work for some of my Valentines projects.  The card stock was all from my scrap drawers. I’ve got to use those scraps up though my green drawer just keeps getting fuller.  </p> <p>I used my threading water punch for the green cardstock to give a little more interest to this card.  I think it turned out quite nice!  </p> <p>Here are some more pictures:</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTZy1IaeY7I/AAAAAAAABHk/XAsvB39dVCY/s1600-h/P1070800%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: ; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1070800" border="0" alt="P1070800" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTZy1bpOpTI/AAAAAAAABHo/3i4T_AJ-9dY/P1070800_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="464" height="349" /></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTZy1lm-bLI/AAAAAAAABHs/TtLFudL4wME/s1600-h/P1070801%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: ; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1070801" border="0" alt="P1070801" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTZy2Jy9rjI/AAAAAAAABHw/LDKi_9VSOSU/P1070801_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="464" height="349" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTZy2UjjgVI/AAAAAAAABH0/d9hWJbTyrQw/s1600-h/P1070803%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: ; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1070803" border="0" alt="P1070803" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTZy24vbQBI/AAAAAAAABH8/KMLezPp0l2A/P1070803_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="464" height="349" /></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTZy3JPGADI/AAAAAAAABIA/m7NFMOwLVGY/s1600-h/P1070804%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: ; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="P1070804" border="0" alt="P1070804" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_BgfG0biHH8E/TTZy3wC5F5I/AAAAAAAABIE/zY9MBvU5kWo/P1070804_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="464" height="349" /></a></p> Debrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01127305394648104716noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311542176448263691.post-44623623007568036572011-01-18T08:06:00.001-08:002011-01-18T08:06:24.743-08:00A few give aways you might be interested in<p align="left">First <a href="http://www.coredinations.com/">Core’dinations</a> is giving away an unreleased pad of Core’impressions.  You get to chose which one but hustle on over there and register.  You can do that <a href="http://pages.email.darice.com/coredinations/p?eKey=gBFcP0lbjmqtdR7mc00X4cu" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p> <p align="left">Second Disney Dreamer is giving away a Cricut Lite Cupcake Wrappers carts and you can read about that <a href="http://disneydreamerdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/01/i-am-officially-at-400-followers-so.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p> <p align="left">And last Erin over at Erin Lee Creative is hosting two give aways which you can read about and register for <a href="http://www.erinleecreative.com/2011/01/1000-followers-giveaway.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.  </p> <p align="left">I’ll be back later today with a Valentine’s project and a sneak peak at a project I’m currently working on.</p> Debrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01127305394648104716noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311542176448263691.post-89710239381310776062011-01-18T00:00:00.000-08:002011-01-18T00:00:08.966-08:00Number 10# and done!!!<p>Yes, I am done!
