My Vintage Glue Book!

Hello everyone..
I am back to share just a little of what
I have been playing with lately..

After seeing a couple of people sharing there Gluebooks on line
I knew it was something I wanted to play with..

Jean from Blueburd Paperie has the most gorgeous pages
you should stop by and see them.

One of the main reasons I wanted to play around with 

a gluebook was because It takes very little supplies.

A journal or book..

lots of images and paper..

Glue sticks..

scissors..

I am definitely going  to be taking a 

little case with all my supplies camping with me!

I am not real excited about my first couple of pages. 

But in the class they said to expect that.

I just love this vintage image of my Mom and uncle.. 

The class doesn't have you put lace on your

pages.  But being vintage and all, I just thought 

it gave it that extra something.. 

So if you want to take a peek at what this is all about you can click 

on the link below. 

I couldn't leave with out sharing sharing some photos

Of you know who!!!

Is he the cutest thing ever or what!!
Can you tell I am one proud Meemaw!

Thanks for stopping by..

Hugs, Linda

Home Sweet Home....

I have a new little friend that has made him self at home!

This new little friend has been sharing the feeder 

with a gal with the crazy beak.  

And she doesn't let anyone else drink from her feeder..

Call me crazy but I think they got something going on!!

If you know what I mean..

Crazy Lady with that crazy beak!!

So I thought is was kinda cool when this weeks theme over

at City Crafters Challenge Blog was

Home Sweet Home..

So sweet Kirsty is Challenging us to make a project with

a bird cage and the words Home Sweet Home.

So I decided to try another mixed media page in my journal.

I had so much fun with this.  I sketched out the bird free hand on

some paper and cut her out..  I can't believe she look that good!!

My birdcage is a stamp I have and I blew it up on my printer

and cut it out and decoupaged it on!

Then a whole lot of doodling and panting and rub-ons.
And I do have to say I just love her red shoes..

And Another journal page done!!

How Fun!!

I do believe he likes it also.. Hee Hee..

To get all the details on this challenge or to check out what

City Crafter Challenge Blog you can hop over HERE..

One more thing before I let you go.  I got my stitches out

yesterday and I am feeling great!!  I do believe my scare will heal

nicely..  Thanks so much for all your well wishes. 

You guys are the best!!

Hugs, Linda

Low Key..


Here is a shot of my sweet grandsons hand while he was sleeping..
I really don't know if I did this prompt correctly.  But I think it's pretty close..



Monochromatic/Analogous color..

OK, I have to admit..  I pulled this one from my archives..

But I do believe it is perfect for this prompt. 

And I just love this shot.  

Circle

The prompt was circle, and consider a self-portrait,

Well I thought about it for a couple of minutes.

And then came up with this.. 

Scarf

Just one of the many project I have started..

One day I will have a fluffy, cozy scarf...

Phone

So many apps so little time!!

Phone #2

Here is another phone shot..  This is my Hubbies phone

to get my stitches out!!  You are all so kind and sweet, And I am so glad 

I met you all here in blogland..

At least the mornings and evenings are a bit cooler. 

I just love this time of year!!

I am back to show you a card I made!

Christmas Card #2..  I am on my way!!

You might remember this image from last year. 

I used it a lot..  I just love it.

The sketch I used is from Mojo Monday. 

I haven't played along with them in awhile.

I used watercolors and copics to color these cute cats. 

and there is a whole lota stitching.. 

I love that!!

Well that is all I have for today!!
I do hope everyone is enjoy the first day of Fall!!

Hugs, Linda

I am running a little slow...

Hello my friends..

I am hoping this post makes sense. 

I had a little procedure done yesterday and I am on some pain medication.

(Just cause I'm a little bit of a baby when it comes to pain)

If I were on top of things I would have done this post before 

My procedure...  That's a whole different story. 

My little procedure was some skin cancer removed from
the side of my face..  

To tell you the truth, It's a little bit of a problem with me.
I am almost always having something burned, scraped or cut off.

I guess growing up here in the desert, being fair skinned, 

doesn't help at all..   But I am pretty proactive about it.  In fact I see

my dermatologist more than I see my dentist.
Sad but true. Thanks so much for listening to me whine this morning.


Any way on to something a little bit happier.
It's Tuesday and time for City Crafters Challenge.
Ros is our Hostess and once again has come up with a great theme.

"Let's Face the Music"

So all you need to do is add something musical to your project.. 

When I first read this challenge I knew I was going to do a Christmas card. 

And I really need to do a lot of them..  

This is my first one I have made this year.

YIKES!!

I just love this vintage image, I am pretty sure I got it from 

the graphic fairy. 

And I just love this Lace.. and of course I did a little stitching. 

So there you have it..  My first Christmas card done..
A lot more to go..

To get the details of our challenge you can hop on over
to City Crafters and get all the details..
You should take a look at all the wonderful project the
rest of the lovely ladies have come up with while your there..

Thanks so much for stopping by..

Hugs, Linda

Scavenger Hunt Sunday. (9/18/11)

Hello,
How are you?
I do hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.
Well it's time for another Scavenger Hunt..

So I will get right to it..



Street Photography

Yep, This is a photo of my street right after a good rain.
We don't get that much here.


Street Photography #2

I really don't think street photography really means a photo of your street.
I have to say this is an older shot that I just love.
It is of a showgirl drinking coffee down on Fremont street.
I am pretty sure that's what they were going for.
But I do believe either would do!!



From a Distance

This is a shot I took the other evening out at Lake Las Vegas
We only live about 10 minutes away and it is such a beautiful place.



Sunday

To be honest I try to remind my self of this everyday,
not just Sunday!



Liquid

Even if this green liquid my daughter is drinking is green tea,
I just can't bring myself to try it..
I think I will stick to my Cafe Mocha.



Behind

I grabbed this shot from my kitchen window..
I am really surprised it turned out..  Yes I am saying my window was dirty..
But its clean now!!  Maybe!!

To see all the other entries you can head over to

Thanks so much for stopping by.

A Day at the County Fair…

I just now getting around to editing some photos I took

 from the county fair in Ventura.  I have to say going to the fair really 

makes me feel like a kid again!!

I hadn’t been to a Fair in for ever..  

All the smells of the food cooking and loud music

brought me back to when I was a kid..

My first stop was to get a hot dog on a stick.. My hubby said I was crazy.. 

They had so much wonderful and yummy food here at the fair..  

But like I told my hubby, I can’t go to a fair and not get a corn dog.. 

It just wouldn’t be right..

And then there were the rides.. 

I just don't remember rides being this scary when I was young.

The swings were always a favorite..

And who doesn't love to ride the marry-go-round..

And how can you forget all the crazy games.

You know you always have to play. 

Even if the prizes are not even worth it..

This one cracked me up… They must have ran out of coke bottles.. 

 And had to throw in a Corona bottle..

Well there you have it,  A great day at the fair..
