Outside business hours

We completed the 5k Autism walk. We are so proud of our sons' excitement and determination to do the big walk. Definately would have been happy if he wanted to quit early, it showed my lack of excercise! But we did it and had a great time. It was good to see all our friends and people.

Outside business hours

Sat, tmrw is the Walk for Autism, little confusion but i am signed up for 5 miles! I have been walking everyday but not sure about the 5 miles. so if you see anyone laying off the road drop some water, of course it may be raining anyway. lol! Seriously Thank you to all of you and family whom has donated to the cause. Like i said before not just for our son Johnathon but to all those families and children out there. xoxoxoxo

Outside Business Hours

hmm, when you here a noise not normal from a microwave pay attention, i rarely walk out of the kitchen when i cook but a normal snack at night is for popcorn! Last night i was in the kitchen and kept hearing a wierd noise off and on, finaly though hmm it has to be the microwave. Yep, lo and behold the microwave was flaming in side yep flaming! i opened the door and grabbed a towel and beat the fire out. luckily it was small but scary! So next time you hear a noise pay attention especialy if the microwave is on, also - it is now off to try and find a new one, (
Just fyi.

Blog Kits!

Wow i had a better than expected response and so glad for those of you have enjoyed my new kits! I will finalize these last few and add to the list. Keep watching and let me know if you need something specific. xoxoxo

New kits

I have been busy creating some new kits, they have been popular and hard to keep up with. they have sold well at market before i can upload to blog. Making extras for you to be able to enjoy and share with your friends. Most i can duplicate as long as supplies are in stock.

I have more to upload soon. Hope you enjoy the idea of having a class in the box at your home! Written instructions and closer pics available to those serious buyers.

Thanks and spread the word! xoxoxo

Pictures

The wonderful world of pictures, and of computer technology. I recently experienced the most scary of it. I lost my pics or so i thought after my PC guy came to search for them and reassure me they were still there hiding. My actual camera program was stirring ups some issues. Lo and behold i got in a rush and started the big download of classes, photos, clips and such and started the burning the midnight oil. literally burning Cd's that is!

I feel so much better and less overwhelmed at the thought of loosing those pics. So before you sit back and feel good about having all those pics on your system think twice about possible PC crashes, space and so on.

Just my food for thought!

Old days!?

In the old days or say 20 years ago? when we didnt have Tim Holtz and distress ink we used actual things like that shoe polish that Dana mentioned in her post to me. We also used actual coffee and tea and actual elmers glue ahahha

Of course with all the cool stuff they think it is faster, which brings to mind i was at a flea market last weekend and some guy yes some guy is selling tshirts that was dyed with Oklahoma red clay mud! and they were cool, little stiff but very dark clay red and prewashed so you won't turn red!

He had vintage american flags i loved them! He also sold red clay dirt in kerr jars for us to be adventerous! hmmm i think we could make tags? but archival/acid free hmmm i wont tell if you wont! lol

Gesso is my friend part II

first one just coverage with gesso, second one you can see getting coverage and last spraying with walnut ink for a vintage look.

Last you start decorating!

Gesso or Not?

Oh, i love gesso it has been my freind for so long! Well i broke down and purchased some of Claudine Hellmuth gesso, of course she has paints too!



Long time ago in painting and compositions classes I learned so much about gesso. It is a great coverage as well as a nice texture to play with. Of course i never used products for what they really were for. Thats how you find happy mistakes! la la!



Here hopefully are some pics, her Gesso is so premium creamy and very little goes a long way most are fast drying. Nice way to cover something dark to lighten with a new color as you will see. I will post pics later. so keep a watch!

Trunk Show

Feb 14th, ok before you have those hot dates come out and see whats hot in my trunk show of suitcases. I am starting to get more boxes open and cleaned out yeah! and so the newer stuff will be at 10% - 20 percent off. Rest is clearing out at 75% off!

Classes

Well this crazy weather, we are at winter you know or so we say only in Oklahoma!

I just wanted to add two pics of classes, with the Owasso store.

Date book class is rescheduled the 5th of Feb. - note each month those special dates/notes

Card class is a future Feb. class - various cards to add pics or messages to.

Trunk show?

More like suitcases - well i have some more fresh items that had to be unboxed the next debut will be hopefully Feb. 24th. There was a date open for the Feb. 14th but i figured most will be getting all fixed up for their hot dates that night.

So Feb. 24th will be the next packed up suitcases for show and tell! Yeah! Hope to see ya!

Storage

I vote for clear containers and nice clear jars. Everything at your fingertips and seeing everything! (to use) not just store! lol
