She is very talented and sweet!

Mimzy

My Daughters went to see Mimzy the movie and brought these back. I jazzed one up! According to them when asked "What did you think about the movie?" they replied. "It was weird." I don't think either one will become a Movie Critc .... I guess it would have been two thumbs down?????


I tried button flowers....fun fun!

The most elegant Easter Bonnet EVER!

This hat is one of my favorite things. It was my Grandma's she is still living. The hat box is awesome as well.

Books Books and More Books

Well as Jimmy Carrey would say "Somebody Stop Me!" I cannot pass up books lately. I found these and unfortunately Melinda put her name in RED on almost everyone. I am seriously thinking of selling them on E-bay. These are really awesome. I had never seen these before. I got these bunny pics today and this vase.

"Her heart beat fast when she noticed the books!"

Drank a Grande Cinnamon Dolche Latte and looked at books at Goodwill.....found these two plus more.

Button Button Who's Got the Button?

Buttons from my Grandmother Jane Cox......I love the colors.

One cute chick

Teeny with a hat! I propped him up in front of a piece of paper I got from some grocery store sushi. He is the size of a penny............

The Day Pastel Colors Ruled the World

Yesterday was quite fun. I rambled along and looked for pastel goodies. The paper choices were over whelming. I got 5 sheets. The neat little flower goodies will be fun to use. I also tried my hand at crepe paper and put it around a little container and put some peeps in it....The scrapes of trim are neat. The white one is my fav.

Artist Trading Card

I did this real quick like,,,,, yesterday. I can't cut a straight line to save my life. I need some primo scissors. I was reading a blog and noticed a person's favorite crafting item was her scissors. I wonder if she was on a deserted island would she bring those or her mascara?????

I have seen so many pillow cases, on flickr that when I saw this one I could not pass it up. I love the colors and it is way soft. The best of both worlds!

Pollen Abounds

Everything around South Georgia is pale yellow. For people with allergies,,,,like me it is no fun. I did however have fun thrifting......I got this cute hat for 1.50..fun fun. It is by Kate Mack.

Plate

My mom has 12 of these. They say Taylor Stone Taylor Smith and Taylor. Pattern name is "Cathay". A grocery store gave had them as a special purchase. I think they are COOL!

Thrifting goodies

This past Friday was a perfect day to look for treasures.
My Mother and I spent the day checking out area thrift stores. We went into a new one and found several kitchen utensils for just 25 cents apiece. One that we found is a mystery. We don't really know what it's use is..... The three I got were neat. The pitcher is so neat. I love the simplicity of it!

Thrifting and found this owl spoon holder

which I would say falls into the kitsch category for sure. How the spoons actually line up or even if they are the original ones perplexes me.....It just cost a dollar and makes me smile!

The cute puppies need some fixing up. I tried to Google info about them but came up empty handed.

Target has taken a back seat.......

Target has taken a back seat....... I can hardly believe I typed that as a Title. The hard cold truth is that I look forward to going to Goodwill and Salvation Army thrift stores more than Target,,,,,,,,these days. One thing that our Goodwill does is buy what Target wants to get rid of ASAP. Right after Christmas GW had tons of Christmas cards from Target and lots of one of a kind curtains. and sheets. Really items from clothes, shoes all the way to the dollar stuff they have at the front of the store. I think once Target got their really old flip flops to 75 percent off they hauled them to GW. Yesterday I bought these blue gooodies for 1.00. I got this wall paper border with neat maps for 1.00.

Day after turning 45.

Well my birthday has come and gone. It was a good day. We went to my parent's house and they cooked ribs and pork tenderloin and lots of other good food. My mom made a Carmel cake and a chocolate pie that had frangelica in it.....Yummy.

Cold Sunday in South Georgia

I woke up and was full of energy and finished some cards for Etsy. You can see my work on Etsy at www.stephy4030.etsy.com. It is a dreay day and very windy and cold.

First Day for this Blog

I am trying my hand at blogging. I have so much enjoyed reading others. I like this form of communication. I have learned so much about that other stream of consciousness when one is "Crafting" ! LOL............I get in that zone and time flies by. I have to admit that it is disappointing when I can't get a card or layout just right. In that case I set it a side and tackle it later. I wonder how many people do that or If I am in the minority? The above picture is one of my thrift purchases yesterday. I got the vase for one dollar . . the decor in the background is from Target several years ago.
