Another quick post! Last week I made a few of these small gift cards. Look close you can see I stapled the edges, I like the look. I also like using pages from old books. I think the pages give the cards or whatever I am making a vintage look. I have a lot of old books that I can use! Now, I am off to finish reading a book about Irish fairies. It is a suspense novel based in Boston and Ireland.
I made this cute little button jar last week. The jar was just too cute to throw away! I have decided that I need more buttons! I sure do use a lot on my projects. I am still busy working around the house and enjoying the warm sunny days here in New England. Right now, I need a cup of coffee to help me tackle all my household chores! It's all about coffee...
I am going to be taking a few days off to enjoy a long weekend. Tomorrow, I will be going out with friends to celebrate a birthday. We live pretty close to Foxwoods Casino so that is where we are headed. I am not a gambler by any stretch of the imagination! I like to go deposit my $20, have lunch and maybe do a little shopping! The next few days I will travel where the wind takes me. No plans, just taking it easy and enjoying the summer!
I made another paper covered chocolate box on Friday. I also made some cards (they are in the box) and I just love everyone of them. However, the box and cards not for me, but a gift for a friend. The last picture is two small white bags with gift cards attached. I love the bright colors! It was very hard not to do a little something creative yesterday, but I did paint the tops two coffee tables and an end table that are in my living room. That has to count for something! Boring!
A quick post for today! I had a very nice weekend! I did a little papering. The end result is a composition notebook that I started last week and finally finished. Most of the paper is actually wallpaper. I finished a few other things. But I must put my glue stick down for a few days. I think my laundry is actually walking to the washer! My house needs a good spring cleaning...I know it is summer. I missed spring cleaning this year. I must of been papering something during that time. Maybe I was planting something, I can not remember. So off I go to wash, dust and vacuum. This may take a while. It's a dirty job and I guess I have to do it! I hope to visit every one's blog tonight!
