Besides the BEAUTIFUL weather we've been experiencing, I've also had many things on the go lately. Hopefully things will slow down a bit next week and I'll find some good tips to pass on to all of you.
In the meantime, I haven't been working on any paper projects for the last little while, but have been working on a quilt anf I have to say it's turning out very nice. Will finish it up and present it this weekend and will then post some photos.
What projects have YOU been working on?

Today's Tip - Picnik
My cousin introduced me to a new photo editing site, www.picnik.com. I've just started playing with it, but so far, I like it.
Do you use on-line photo editing? What site do you use? Have you tried Picnik?

Happy Birthday!!!!!
To me,
and to all our friends in the United States,
a very Happy Independance Day!!!!
No tip today, but rather a poll......
Does anybody wear a "crafting apron"?
Do you have one?
What do you like about it? What would you change?
Just thinking about them because aprons seem to be making a bit of a comeback (since I tend to wear a lot of what I'm cooking, I'm thinking I may need a few). And this thought led me to crafting aprons.
Are they better for the stand-up scrappers out there?

Today is my 20th Wedding Anniversary
We've planned a pretty low-key celebration with dinner out and a show after.
I'm so overwhelmed as 20 years passes by so quickly. Of course, as in all relationships, there have been ups and downs but through it all we've stuck together and he is still my best friend.
We've seen many loved ones come into this world, come into our lives, and we've also seen too many leave. All hold a special place in our hearts.
Thank you, honey, for the best years of my life and I look forward to the next 20 years! I love you!

Back from my Vacation.....
.... and lots of work to do. I have blog posts to catch up on, housework to be done, projects to complete. And, I'm sorry to say, I'm starting with the housework.
I've come home with fresh prints of my sister's family and need to see if I can create layouts to do the beautiful family photos justice. I will give these some thought.
In the meantim, do you have any projects you are working on? Anything you'd like to share? Descriptively or photos? I'd love to see.

Today's Tip: Beads
To make a cool and color appropriate embellishment for a layout, pick out seed beads and wire that matches colors in your layout. string the beads on your layout and twist into whatever shape you can think up.

Today's Tip: Magic Mesh
Do you love the look of mesh on layouts, but cringe at the cost? I use the mesh drywall tape! It's really inexpensive, already has an adhesive backing, and it can be painted or inked or chalked to whatever color you want. You can tear it, distress it, thread ribbons through it and more.
I've also used it as a "stencil" by sticking it down on my paper then dab an ink pad over it. Pull up your mesh and you have a great pattern, good for a background, a photo mat, or anything.
Its really cheap for a HUGE roll. You can get it any home improvement or hardware store. Lots of the big chain stores sell it also.
I haven't tested it for acidity, though, so if that's an issue for you, you may wish to check it out or refrain from placing in direct contact with your photos.
(My husband is a drywaller and hates the stuff for drywall, so he doesn't steal it from me..... tee hee hee)
