vacation pics

Here are some pictures from our trip to the White Mountains. The first one is in the woods behind the cabin where we stayed. Yes my son is holding a plunger...that was in case we ran into any bears he was going to protect us with that :) The next is Jacob at Hawley Lake. He wasn't in the mood for pictures this day, you may be able to tell from the smirk on his face. Next is a couple of squirrels that were keeping an eye on us. There are 3 in the photo...can you find them? The last pic is also Hawley Lake...what can I say...it's beautiful!

total slacker

That's what I am. So much to do and I always seem to run short on time. Still working on my techniques and some other miscellaneous crafty stuff. Getting ready to go on vacation, wanting to clean up the house before I go, still in process of re-organizing my life. *sigh* If anyone knows where I can purchase some more time let me know. ~moi

techniques 1 thru 3

Here are the first 3 techniques from the BPS online class Im' taking. It's sooo much fun, but I'm already behind. It's been just too hot here to do anything after I get home from work. I'm hoping to catch up some on this 3 day weekend.
The top card is clear embossing with acrlic paint. The second is a mosaic using scraps. I have lots of those that I can't seem to throw away so I'm sure I'll be using this technique quite a bit. The third is using flowers from B&T paper, you cut them out and curl to make 3-d elements. Way cute! Why didn't I ever think of that before.
