Completed CD Project

The pictures aren't very good, but this ring is absolutely adorable.

This little guy has taken up residence on my balcony. Apparently he finds it the ideal spot to sit and watch the world go by, whistle a tune or two and call out to his mates...who perform fly-bys on a regular basis. I tried to capture a pic of two of them in the air but I wasn't quick enough.

Then there's the cat factor. Oh. My. God. These little birds are just as curious about my cat as he is of them. They have NO fear! They fly low in front of Frasier's face to get a good look...this is when we all freeze...me, the cat, the hummer, all in suspended animation as I warn Frasier..."DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT".

Got another cd done. Yay! I think I'll make one for Halloween and call it done,,,then add to it during the year, (which wouldn't be a bad idea for an annual mini album. Certainly not a lot of work involved). This one I decorated with a LOVE sticker I bought at Target for 99 cents. So Cute!

This project is so cute. These are old cd's that I'm scrapping and making into a cd ring for my 10 year old (grand) niece. I got this great idea from Voodoo Vixen,,, found some pics on her Flickr site and fell in love with them!

I'm also working on a mini album for Frasier that I started way back when. I plan on getting this finished any day now...you betcha.




And I REALLY want to make an altered book now that I've watched the cd from Paperclipping that Noell Hyman and Dedra Long put together. I LOVED the cd...I wanted it to go on and on, I wanted to see more and learn more. I so love seeing what other people create. I love looking through galleries online, I love seeing all the scraprooms, the cards, the gifts. What a great hobby this is. Anyway....if you have an interest in making an altered book but don't know where to begin, or even if you DO know where to begin, this is the cd for you. It's over an hour long, has a ton of tips in it, and you get to watch Dedra and Noell as they actually work on their books. It's pretty cool, kids.

I've added another link to my favorites! Scrap Happens Here

I first noticed Annette (otherwise known as Voodoo Vixen) on one of the message boards. She posted a mini album that caught my eye, and I followed a link to her blog...which I've been following ever since. Not only is she a gifted scrapper, but she's one of the original Zutter Sisters, the design team for the Bind It All, which she's very crafty with! She makes some very clever albums and gifts, one of which I'm attempting to create in the above photo. Can you guess what I'm using?

I find her blog interesting on so many levels. I adore her work, her writing style, and the glimpses into her life in Saudi Arabia!

Maybe I should get dressed now...

It's 12:30 pm and I'm still not dressed. I've been sitting here all morning playing around on the computer, downloading podcasts from Paperclipping and loving it! I've been watching the free versions of paperclipping live for two years, but haven't signed up to be a premium member until now...something to do with work and time...not money, because the membership is very affordable and well worth the money.

Gotta tell ya, Noell's video's rock. Oh yeah, and that Izzy guy that produces the vids....he ain't so bad either! (I think he knows what he's doing!)

Happy Birthday to Me!

It's hard to believe, but this little girl is 62 years old! OMG!! She was so cute! If you look real close you can see how crooked my bangs were! I Love the Graphic 45 paper...it really lends itself to these old black and white photos.

I'll be shopping with my sister today at The General Store, probably stop by Tarjay, and then lunch at The Market Broiler. Yum.
