Pisces

Journaling on tags: Physical Traits: Lips will tend to be full with a pursed or puckering quality, the jaw is generally weak. the nose is generally small, facial features will be round, especially the cheeks. The eyes similarly, may appear to bulge with somewhat of a sleepy or dreamy expression, and in them you can get the distinct impression of wisdom, mystery or spiritual depth, giving Pisces' eyes perhaps the most beautiful!

Some fabric from my purchase the other day.

The clear pebbles are arranged just like the constellation.

Had fun with this! Cutting the fabric and sewing....really loving my sewing machine!!!!

So what do you think?

Tropical Storm Fay

Is heading our way.....Only to be a Category 1 Hurricane when it lands on Florida...right now south of me in Sarasota but to come up the state right over us. This storm is going to be just that a big thunder, lighting, and wind storm!!! People are freaking out.....it is really weird because it has never been like that before....last time we had a Hurricane was in 2004 and that was a disaster because it didn't go where it was 'suppose too' and alot of people were not ready for this storm!!! I guess I should be alot more worried but I'm not. Weird. But atleast wish me luck that we don't lost power for days!!! That is what I'm worried about!!!

Things that make me smile

Finding these things at a second hand store....one is the old music tape from a piano and the book is a math book from '29. Kerry Lynn gave us the idea about the piano paper at SISiversary and I've been holding onto mine because I didn't want to cut it up but now I can because I have more!!! So happy about that!!

Receiving this in the mail!!! Mandi did a photo swap with me and this is what she made me!!! Doesn't this just rock!!! I was so excited to see it!!!

Getting a new sewing machine!!! I can't wait to use this on my scrapbook pages!!!!!!

Spending Friday night cropping at my LSS with Kim who I met through Studio Calico!! Making the following Lo's:

All of these Layouts were made with Studio Calico Kits....I know really tired of hearing that but I really love these kits and also I want to use them!!!

My Little Secret

I got a email from Kristy Wiseman on June 11th asking me if she could lift one of my layouts....ok so I was so flattered and surprised completely!!! But of course I said yes!!!! I wanted to see what she would come up with. Well I check their blog today and found this:


CWL2283's 'Adorable' layout from the Newsstand Gallery caught Kirsty's eye right away with the sweet pic of her dog and the trim along the edge. Kirsty used a scallop edge at the bottom of the patterned paper as well, but kept the title the same.

Amber was even cuter in person!! I've always thought that she was cute in her photo and from reading her blog but I didn't imagine that she could be any more cuter!! It was so wonderful to meet her and I hope that I have made a new friend with this beautiful lady!!!

It was so much fun putting faces, voices, and personalities with everyone I talk too in the message boards over at SIS.....
