Fingerprint Greetings

The latest batch of homemade cards:

Inspired by Ed Emberley's Complete Fun Print Drawing Book.

Fun With Scraps

Homemade Cards with Fabric Scraps

Mother's Day cards for two great mommies....

Teacher Appreciation cards for three great teachers....

Oh yeah, and some bookmarks.

Cubbies and Baskets

The cubbies have been done for awhile now (and the baskets), but I've only just taken pictures:

I think they're gorgeous, if I do say so myself. The wall paint obviously needs to be touched up and I bought the hooks for the wall above the cubbies, but they're not up yet (surprise, surprise: we're not good at fast around here) -- I'll take more pictures when everything's finally completed! Hooray!

Ruffles and fabric flowers

 My latest bag:

 It's so pretty, I haven't been able to use it yet. Can I make a museum for my too-beautiful-to-use creations?

Handmade Art

This is now hanging over our TV:

And here's where it came from:

Fabulous $6 framed puzzle from the thrift store












A few vinyl sticky letters, some creative juices, acrylic paint for the frame and spray paint for the puzzle itself and . . . . ART. Awesome!
If I had it to do over again, I would make all of the lettering bigger so you could see more of the colors and designs from the puzzle. Next time!

What a Difference a Few Hours Makes.....

Donner Lake - Wednesday, July 13

Taken at 10:56 am

Taken at 1:42 pm. 

We left the beach shortly after this picture was taken because thunderstorms were blowing in and it was too windy and cold!!!!

High Altitude Training

Today was my first high altitude training run here in Tahoe Donner.

 It's ridiculous how beautiful the scenery is, but running is HARD. Too many big hills and not enough oxygen!
