What a fun day!!

My head is still spinning from all of the ideas at the Artful Blogger Party. What fun to look at the great ideas and spend time looking at some fun blogs!! I was inspired to do some crafting today...

A notebook to hold lots of new ideas (vintage wall paper - a HUGE roll for a quarter at a garage sale!) Sorry, the pictures are not the clearest.And, back in Feb. I bought tons of metal picture frames that Target had in their Dollar Spot. I've been adding paper, embellishments & magnets. They can be used for pictures, recipes, whatever. I did this one last night. Notice the magnet on the right - got that idea from the origami video someone linked to. The flowers are some vintage ones that I picked up in a big bunch for a quarter at a local thrift shop! Tomorrow I'm headed thrifting and rummaging with my sister.

Hopefully I'll find lots of treasures. Gotta run!!

ArtsyMama's Artful Blogger Party

For those of you who haven't heard...There's a party going on!!! Check it out at artsymama.blogspot.com

It's getting late and I decided that I would throw in a tutorial for refrigerator magnets that is SUPER easy. Something that anyone can do!! The story is...we live way out in the middle of nowhere, so we have no garbage service, but a local dump - which has its perks! :o) Not long ago, my husband came home with a huge bag of old silverware. It doesn't take much to dress them up a bit with some vintage lace, ribbon, or millinery flowers. Then hot glue two magnets on the back. I've been selling these at local craft shows. Some people prefer them plain. How easy is that?!!

And here's one more picture to prove that our dump is the best one ever!!! Check out the iron bed frame I brought home last month!!!

Around the yard today...

We finally got some much needed rain last night and this morning.

Everything is wet, but what a relief from the muggy heat we've been having.

Surely the plants will show off more color now!!

I've Been Busy

It's been awhile, and I'm finally at a point where I think that I can work on this blog. My daughter got married last week and the whirlwind is beginning to die down!!

Two New Scents

Gardener's Soap is a light citrus scent. Cornmeal has been added to give the soap some "grit" which helps scrub all the garden dirt away.

Lime Leaf & Lily is a light citrus, floral smell. Fresh, like after a summer rain.

See previous post for pricing.

I'm gearing up for the summer/fall show season. If you find this site after meeting me at a show, please drop me a note, I'd love to hear from you!!
