Ten Second Cross

This past Saturday, Holly, Mel and I returned to The Crafty Scrapper in Waxahatche. We signed up for a metal cross class hosted by Cheryl at Ten Seconds Studio. Here are some of the photos, we had a ball! Next time we need to take an RV so that we have a rest room close at hand, we or at least I was almost wetting my pants laughing so hard!


Mel wasn't very happy with her color and she is working on a newer version. I kinda like the old one though. Holly's cross was awsome! The photo doesn't do it justice.




Below is my cross. I also took mine home and worked on it just a little more. The first shot is at the class. I darkened the base and really like the softer image.

Metal Fun

How much fun does it look? I must admit, I was a bit aprehensive when starting this project. Once I started, it was nothing but fun fun fun. I mounted it on the board this morning. I only wish that I had taken photos of the process as I went.

You gotta go to Milford Texas!

I was lucky enough to get a canceled spot at Our House in Milford scrapbooking retreat! This place is a must for anyone in the Texas, Oklahoma or Louisiana area who scraps or quilts. The food was good, the is more than enough space as well as lighting! Angie and her mother, Ann are the most wonderful hostesses. You will not have to lift a finger for anything! Check them out here: http://ourhouseinmilford.homestead.com/index.html

I was having to much fun with the Scrapple Dumpling Gang that I was only able to spit out 3 layouts! But the week end was a hit anyway.

Lots o' Links

2 Weeker

It appears that I blog about every weeks. I can accept that!

Unemployment is not what it is cracked up to be. I thought that I would get lots and lots of scrapping and cleaning done, but NOOOOO. Sleep seems to be the big deterrent. I won't be able to keep this up though. Family visits are coming up. My sister in law and her husband are headed our way soon. And Les and I will be traveling to Kerrville soon to see my dad and his wife soon too! Lots of photo ops for sure!

Mel's husband had a surprise party for her this past Friday. What a blast, this was my first surprise party and Mel did not suspect a thing! I made my first banner for her too. I will post photos soon.

Lynda and her daughter are on a week cruise to the Caribbean. I know that she will love it just as much as I do. Cruising is so laid back.

I hope all is well with everyone. Next time it will not be 2 weeks, I promise.

Brrrrr.....

Well, ok, so it is not that cold here in Texas, but for us thin skinned people it certainly is! It is half past noon and the temp is 37!!! Egads, at this rate, I may have to move to the beach! Keep warm everyone!

Celebration NO style.

Might not be the most thrilling minute of video that you have seen in the last week, but here is Addie, Sophie and me ringing in the new year in New Orleans.....

Well, I am working on my video skills. Thanks for looking. Happy New Years everyone.
