Creative Play with a friend...What a mess!!!

My friend Kat and I gathered last week for a day of creative play and let's say we sure did make a mess, well really I made the mess, you see Kat is a clean scrapper and I make a total mess of the whole table....lol but we enjoyed every minute of it.... Here is a sneak peak at my tattered floral I made using Tim Holtz die, embossing folder and hardware, inks and glimmer mist. I love how these turned out.

And here is what Kat created with the tattered floral die, she used the new coordinated paper from Creative Imaginations...Glimmer mist, stamp.....so pretty

close up of Caged bird die of Tim Holtz, Kat flocked it in Turquoise love it Kat!!!! And here she is busy using the heat tool, we where running out of room on the table so we had to use the kitchen chairs....so creative!!!!

Creative play with a friend is so fun, call someone up and have a scrappin date with them!!!! There was much laughter, coffee, more laughter~glimmer mist everywhere and alot of oh my's and ohhhhhh!!!!!

enjoy, Peggy Lee

Vintage Scraps

This past weekend Livy and me headed out yard sale shopping, and did a little antique store shopping too!!! My fav.... Here is a treasure I found at a yard/barn sale, I was shocked at the price~~~looked it over really good (while screaming on the inside) the lady sold it for only $10.00's whooo hooo sold....it's a beauty, in good shape very heavy, glass door with vintage key and wooden wheels....love it. There is a drawer on the bottom that needs some repair but still couldn't let this little gem go bye..... Found some vintage trims at a local Antique store!!! can't wait to play with these!

adding to my collections~love the tin and I have never seen little green bottles...a must to add.

GoodBye 2009-Happy New Year 2010!!

Bittersweet is all I can say of what 2009 was for me, struggles, pain, family and friends going through sickness, raising teenagers, going home to help take care of my mother which leaving mine behind that was truly hard for a mother, wife to do. With all the highs and lows 2009 was a good year a Season of Growing for me and learning new things, being creative and stretching my creative ability. Thank you to all who were a part in that, even you my blog friends with out your support and encouraging words of everyday comments can help to keep a person pressing forward. Thank You.....
