Monthly Theme: Frozen Moments

Well I've finally come up with one for this month. The 'frozen moment.' I decided this would be fun since it's December and there is so much in the way of family and activities and parties and, well, life--exploding in every direction. Vibrant and happy.

What would be a better way to catch it all than in a photograph. Besides, I'm having fun with my arrows and notes.

So here is my second photo for you all in this months theme.

Stay tuned for many more to follow.

I REALLY like it!! So much that I'd like to do it some day. (Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?? Yea. I'll stick with that!). So, do share how you do your arrows!

remember that program I told you about--Paint.net?

when you are in there you can change the edge of your lines to make arrows (I don't know if all programs can do this or just this one)

so that's what I did I changed the edge of my line and then drew it out to where I wanted.

Very nice feature.

It is a fun idea! It takes pictures that would otherwise be tossed out and makes them into something interesting.

Feel free to steal it (I totally did). ;)

How-To Pretend You Work For Anthropologie

The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Altered Shoe Art: Ring Holder Shoe Tutorial

Image
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it. I tried about a million different decorations before settling on one that didn't drown out my rings. I wanted them to the focal point. This is also why I went with black fabric and not something more vivid. Don't be intimidated by the lack of 101 I'm giving you. It really is a straight forward sort of project. If you know how to use a glue gun without burning yourself you can do this. Just be sure to dust off your imaginative brain space first. :) The one important thing you might be wondering is how I got the pink fabric to stick to the shoe. I really just Mod Podged it on. There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section. I thought that might have been easier, but I had scraps o

Mutterings of a Middle-Aged Dreamer

Image
Use your words, my dear sweet soul, they are inside of you... So find them. Write, you silly girl, write so hard the world will never forget you. But does it matter if the world remembers you?  Age begins to press its hands upon your chest and the need to be remembered seems to increase with the pressure.  Stop. That's not a line of thought you're interested in pursuing.  Live in the now. Does it matter if the world remembers you if your neighbor is going hungry?  Perhaps age is merely pushing you out the door.  Go. Live in the now.
