Good Morning Everyone... Mercy it has been hot...Well as promised here are a few of my 4th of July creations...I love my Santos doll my Mom bought me...she is so fun to dress up and decorate with... last year I put one of my outdoor flags around her waist and loved it... I made these tags and I thought they turned out cute...Like I said I am having a really hard time finding anything to buy to decorate with that is not primitive...I am just not a very primitive decorator...glitter is not very cute on rustic stuff!!!

You can't see it very well , but this is a vintage flower I made with an anchor button in the center for Donna's mannequin...Betty... I will have to introduce Betty and Beatrice to you someday...Her mannequin and mine...and the card in the background is one she made for me...love it...

Well, here is my version of 4th of July flash cards...they are easy if you can get the spacing right on the computer...which I am not very good at...but I love them..

and here are some cute bottles I did and a little vintage Washington,D.C. silver shoe I found in my travels...

isn't she the cutest Lady Liberty???

Well I hope you stay cool and inspired... Remember tonight is the Meet & Greet at the Paper Crown...It is always fun...Thanks Cindy for having it we love it...It starts at 6...Oh yea...If you like my Santos go to Laurie Anna's and enter a comment to try to win a Santos Doll... her Blog is Fab...B

A long time AGAIN...

Well here are a few of my new 4th of July Treasures... I entered a comment drawing on "Good Grief Girdie's" Blog the other day...and I WON...she made these wonderful spools and the card and lantern came on the package...aren't they the cutest ever...Thanks Jackie and hubby for drawing my name...

Last night Donna and I went to The Paper Crown and took another one of Jackie's classes... what fun... we made this adorable hanger...it was really fun because everyones was so different... we were able to let our creative juices flow...we always have a wonderful time at the classes and learn something new everytime... this Tuesday The Paper Crown is having another meet and greet so hope you will all come it is so much fun...

Last year we took one of Jackie's classes and we made this banner... I added a few trinkets to mine this year and it is sooooo cute.

Hello... sorry it has been soooo long... I have been at the Lake Estate...Hope all of you are having a great summer... it sure is HOT enough...

Well I have been busy again... Donna and her honey...Jerry... celebrated their 20th Anniversary last night and we went out to eat at Mama Rojo's..oh my it was fabulous...it is on Lake Hefner and you must have the guacamole and the Baja Style Ceviche...it has shrimp lime, cilantro, mango's...etc... it was amazing...we took pics out by the lake... it was really windy and the sailboats were out in full force...it was beautiful...

Well now for the reason for the blog...I made her and JP 

2 Anniversary Books.. they turned out really well...

I made the lakey one first and my pics didn't fit very well

 so I made the mr. & mrs. one.

I put all kinds of pictures I had of them and used a 2 blank domino, an I 20 bingo number...It really turned out cute.

the lakey one was fun...of course...we have a great time there and it was fitting that I had one of them...

I left blank pages so she could add pictures later... in the mr. & mrs. book I had a page for their wedding picture and one from last night.  She loved it and I had a great time making it...

well I am off to the Dr. with my Dad.  Say an extra prayer for him, he stepped on a toothpick about 2 months ago , and he has Diabetes ...and of course he went to his GP and said it was good...well it is bad now and we have an appt. with an Orthopedic Dr. today at 2...life brings a lot sometimes...I just hope he will be all right and it it isn't too bad. 

till next time...have a cool day...B
