Altered Clipboard


This is a Clipboard that i made for myself. This is for shopping. I saw a lady at the store the other day with a plain one with her list and coupons under the clip. I decided that this was my new MUST HAVE. Only, i had to have mine decorated!! it says "To Market, To Market" on it. I love how it came out and can not wait to go shopping!!

This is a LO with the same pictures and some more from a nature hike we went on. This is a LO for my album.

Handmade Christmas Gifts


This is try #1. I started this 3 years ago when i learned how to knit. I did a really bad job. I just finished it recently. As you can see it gets better as i go along to the top of it!!

These are #2 and #3. I did them each in about a week in spare time waiting for the kids at school, karate class and such. I got a lot better!! I have a few more to make!!!

I am going to be giving these for Christmas gifts this year to a few people!! Hope they like them!

ps. If you don't know, can't tell...they are kitchen wash cloths!!

Sept LO#6-8 and challenges

This LO is for the 52 in 52 sketch challenge on SSA...for Aug 17-23. I am late on thes, but thought i might as well get more done!!
This is a LO of me on Easter 1972. I noticed that I had 2 Easters before my 1st birthday!! How COOL is that!!! My b-day is April 7. In 1971 it was on April 11th and in 1972 it was on April 2nd.

These pictures are of my 1st birthday. The LO is from the 52 in 52 challenge also on SSA. This was for July 13-19. I took the LO and did it like the example and made smaller LO's inside the big LO. I Like this LO and hope to try it again on the larger scale!!

Sept LO #3-5



These 2 LO's are each for a child of mine. The 3rd is in a previous post. There is a different ribbon on these and 1 less picture. I love how these turned out!!

This LO was supposed to be for the SP S2L Layout contest. I just did not get it sent in to Vi in time!! So, there is another LO done...Now to find pictures!!!
