Oh Yeah!

I saw this today on Poppytalk and had to share it because it makes me so happy watching it! I love old retro patterns and this is just too funny. My favorite part is the little head nod from the girl in the back...oh yeah!

Love Notes

I'm participating in a sweet little project called Love Notes Postcard Project. It was dreamed up by Jennifer Belthoff and you can read all about it on the Love Notes site. Who wouldn't wanted to receive some love in the mail?  If you'd like to...go take a look!

Essentials

At work we throw away several small operator's manuals each day...they're included in every box of kits we open. I was looking at one the other day and decided it would be the perfect size for a small journal. So, I took one home, glued every other page together, gessoed the pages, added a light wash of paint to each spread and a cover and here it is...a handy little junk journal! For the cover I used a page out of a 1906 book called Health and Home. Reading it I realized that the "essential" things haven't changed much in the past 107 years!  Here's a copy of the image I used...feel free to use it in your own journal.

Happy Thanksgiving

Cemetery Angels

One of the highlights of my visit with my sister in Brooklyn was our trip to Greenwood Cemetery.  What we thought was going to be a quick trip for her to show me the famous Monk Parrots turned into a four hour tromp through one of the most beautiful, serene places I've ever seen. The cool, tree shaded lawns and quiet groves of gorgeous statuary kept us looking for hours. We took tons of photos and didn't see even half of it. If you're ever in Brooklyn be sure to stop in and take a walk. Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!
