A Succulent Life!: March 2014
http://asucculentlife.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 30, 2014. A sewn reversible messenger bag. I 've nearly completely my first handmade bag. When it is completely done, I will show it turned both ways. Now that I see it, the bright, colorful fruit pattern might make for a good lunch bag. I will have to see how it looks turned the other way! It's been a lot of fun to do this evening, following Debbie Shore on YouTube's video. Hope to show more pics soon! PS See the bag turned both ways HERE. Sunday, March 30, 2014.

A Succulent Life!: January 2015
http://asucculentlife.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 9, 2015. Taking down the Christmas tree, and put up the little 2 foot Valentine tree today. Its very cute. I found the pink lights at Big Lots yesterday, and that sort of cinched the deal. Almost all of the ornaments and chains (garlands) were made previous years by the grands. I took photos from all three sides. I know, I'm just a silly Chika! Now I am slowly working on finishing the other tree takedown. Here are some Swedish Heart baskets that Emmie and I made from Christmas cards!

Saturday, May 23, 2015. I have some random things to show here. Most has been seen on Facebook already. First, I want to say have a happy, fun, and safe Memorial Day weekend. God bless our military! Thank you to my son, too, for his 5 years of military service! I am very proud of you! Love you, Brent! Her she is making the "disco ball". Here it is finished . We wrapped multi colored garland on it with hot glue gun and hung it up. Of course, we had to hang up streamers too! I have to say, I am intrigued!

Tuesday, February 25, 2014. Adding Frozen characters to my snowflake pillowcase! I've had these two done for a few weeks, but suddenly got sort of burnt out on the project! I still have three more characters to add! Pray I can get re-motivated to do more before my granddaughter moves on to a new absolute LOVE of something else! Tuesday, February 25, 2014. Monday, February 24, 2014. Lentil quiche recipe here. Monday, February 24, 2014. Wednesday, February 19, 2014. Even sweeter little bud. I was looking o...

Paper Vernissage: April 2015
http://papervernissage.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Whats This All About. Wednesday, April 29, 2015. Snowy Egret and Garage Sale Finds. Did you come all the way here just for the community garage sales today? You drove all that way just to go to some garage sales? Yes, and we got lucky in finding you, Snowy Egret, perched near the side of the road across the refuge. I wonder - were you people-watching? Whatever it was doing, it was very content and calm and just a tad bit wary of the car stopping. I fell in love with this old Christmas card with the beach...

Paper Vernissage: May 2015
http://papervernissage.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Whats This All About. Saturday, May 30, 2015. Antiques Inside and Out. There's a stretch of little shops in Viking Village and this little antique/gift shop is among them. I find that antique stores are not always the best lit places and this one was no exception relying a lot on the limited amount of outdoor light through the windows. Still there were some very colorful (and clever) vignettes that caught my eye. Some felt ornaments and sealife toys. Old carnival/boardwalk games and whatnot. We weren't a...

Paper Vernissage: ASLEEP, DOWN, CLIMB - Photo Challenge Wrap Up
http://papervernissage.blogspot.com/2015/07/asleep-down-climb-photo-challenge-wrap.html
Whats This All About. Friday, July 31, 2015. ASLEEP, DOWN, CLIMB - Photo Challenge Wrap Up. These next two pictures are taken looking DOWN the hall at school. You can see some detritus still in the hallways, but most of these rooms have been cleaned top-to-bottom and in a couple more weeks the halls will be cleared so the floors there can be stripped and waxed and ready for the new school year. In the hallways you can find several ways to CLIMB - with ladders that are scattered about at this time of year.

Paper Vernissage: June 2015
http://papervernissage.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Whats This All About. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. It's a Marriage - Jingle Belles and Summer of Color Collide. I think I totally forgot to do my Jingle Belles card for the last challenge two weeks ago. And something luckily stirred me to get this done last night - the Summer of Color Challenge colors for this week actually. I think I managed to marry the two challenges together but let's just check and see. The Jingle Belles said NO DESIGNER PAPER. Do you think I could get away with doing this same card but ...

Paper Vernissage: ICAD 2015 - Week 8
http://papervernissage.blogspot.com/2015/07/icad-2015-week-8.html
Whats This All About. Friday, July 31, 2015. ICAD 2015 - Week 8. I should be finishing this today but our Merry Fishmas party put me a little behind. Who am I kidding - it put me very behind on a number of things, but guess what? It's almost August and there's still lot's of summer left to get these things caught up. Lessons have been learned though. Like the need to limit participation in too many things. Ah, but they are fun, so let me get on with getting on. Day 50 - Kimono. Day 51 - Symmetry. This wa...

Whats This All About. Saturday, August 1, 2015. ICAD 2015 - Last Week. I'm finished. All 61 cards done. And only one day past the end of July. So without further ado. Day 57 - Sunrise. I took my rolls of solid colored washi tape and tore them up into little pieces to make my sunrise. Day 58 - Queen of Hearts. Day 59 - Plaid. Day 60 - Advice. I have actually made up some business-size cards with this winged pig and that sentiment. This time I added some printed scrap paper for color. Day 61 - Parachute.
