My Thanks to "Frenchkissed"

Wow!  I stopped by my email tonight and got such a big surprise!!!  I have to say I was blown away and so thrilled with joy that Trishia of "Frenchkissed" made my day :)  Such nice praise!!  Trishia had stopped by my new shop  "alittlescrappy"  last week and placed an order for some of my "french script" ribbons and  tags  for some fun and pretty "French" packaging for her beautiful postcards! 
I feel so honored that she picked me to help her out with this :)
Trishia mentions my ribbons on her blog  I'm blown away!   Thank you Trishia!!  That's just way too cool!!
Here's a few samples of ribbons with script on them...Oh, hehehe...I forgot to take pictures of the brown script ribbons, before I mailed them out to Trishia...but you can see them on her blog.

If you're not following her blog...add it to your list! Me too!

A Little Scrappy on Etsy

I've opened up another shop on etsy...YAY!  "aLittleScrappy"  I've been re-doing the photo's as something happened to my camera which made my pictures not look like usual. I reset my default and I think I got it back to normal now. My new shop is made up of items like scraps and do dads and whatnots...fun for crafters to use in scrapbooking, arts and craft projects etc...come take a look!

 

This is a little set of die cuts and more in the theme of "little Bo Peep"  

some funnnnn.....cotton frayed ribbon in aqua blue and white, one of my favorites!

 

some of my French script printed ribbons.....Ooh la la

The New Blog Banner

Updated my blog banner the other night...Yay! Isn't that bird yummy! She comes from another one of my digital friends over on etsy, you must check out her work at Land of Enchantment and her blog at whimsicalworldoffairies, you can find her down the page also on my blogroll :)
Let me know what do you think about the new banner ???

Here's the old one...

A Work in Progress...The Mannequin

Here's the scoop ... it all started one day with a dingy grey material body. This poor girl had been sitting out in the rain over at a neighbors house. After a few days of watching her just sit there I couldn't stand it and had to go rescue her. I worked up the nerve to go and ask "can I have the mannequin?" I promise to take good care of her. Like at this point it would matter... lol
My job was cut out for me! First things first she had to be dried out and then the work started. I ended up covering her almost like a pinata with lots of paper and glue. No candy inside this girl. When I finished I was pretty satisfied, however I'm already thinking I'd like to re-do the "look" so one of these days...there will be a do-over. If you've worked on a mannequin drop me a comment and let me know I'd love to come see your girl :)

Here's a couple more pics from Jills House showing some of the ladies working on their crafts, her house is so cutely decorated and we all had such a fun time!  A wonderful bazaar going on outside during the same time  in her garage...everything was cutely set out and displayed. 

Ice, Ice and more ice

Brrrrrrrrrrr.....it's been very cold here lately in the Oregon area like everywhere...we've had ice with some wind chills as low as 6 degrees the other day, but it's still so pretty outside when the sun makes it through the crisp and cold.  Perfect soup weather!

 I got a kick today, I was working in my studio and noticed that lots of Robins were landing
