Hot Pink and Zebra Strips

Thats the new colors of my neice Hannah's room..

I love this combination and it was so fun to work with...

Her birthday is coming up so I rambled thru my stash

and found some things to make for her...

check it out

I made her a awesome jewelry box

Every little girl loves Jewelry ?

Matched all the way around

Inside and out

This little clip board will also have a mirror clipped on it

And a huge clothes pin to hold a special picture

This is what I will wrap it all in

I was so happy to find this box

I have to mail all of this to her

Stay tuned for the cute card I also made her

It is crazy to me how it worked out

Happy Birthday Miss Hannah

Breast Cancer

I have a freind who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer...

As have many of my freinds.

Scares me a bit every year when I go for my own mammogram...

I go because I do believe early detection is the key to survival.

 I highly encourage all my friends, including you all

To go have have your yearly scan..

I wanted to make her a quillo but our other friend did that...

Then my friend Sandy  come over with this

little locket charm and here is what we created with it..

I made her this cute card with

Suzie Toronto graphics

at PcCrafter

Then Sandy beaded these little charms

and the locket

Inside the lock we rolled up a small message

Just for our friend

Signed DeeDee, Gayle and Sandy

I also made her a gift I have given many

Of my friends

Who fall ill.. a place to release it

A Journal

With a special book marker

And a pen to write her thoughts

I would love to show the front of this

But I made it personally for her and

She didn't want me to post her picture

She is a beautiful Lady

Inside and Out

But I respect her wishes.

Please say a prayer for my friend

And all the people of the world

Dealing will illness

And please for me

Schedule your yearly

Mammogram

I had mine , will you have yours

Notice the link on my side bar

The pink one with a ribbon

On it>>>

Click it to help fund Breast Cancer Research

Thanks

COH DYOB #3

I joined in with the Yahoo! group

Chain of Hearts

to make another Crazy Quilt block...

I wanted this to match my last one so

I can apply them to a muslin bag

One block to swap

One block for me

I tried hard to make them match...

They are similar

So will be easier to stitch

I am ready for our first assigned stitch

Stay with me and

Watch as this progresses

Garbage Disposal

Here is a craft that gets you looking at your garbage...
brought to us at Art Group this month with

The Little Blue House

I loved it...

Things I would never look at to craft with

I kept envelopes, ceral boxes, tags from clothes,

Cards from freinds..

You name it..

It can go in here.

Take a look with me

We used old books as the cover
I chose a blank one so I can really decorate it

I won this bingo card at

The Little Blue House

I use the book binding just to add character

A card from a friend and a calendar page

from my Betty Boop Calendar

Envelopes of all kinds

I eat cheerios everyday for breakfast

A graphic from one of my

Crafting buddies on this day

We all shared our garbage with each other

An old ledger page

An old post card collected along the way

A crown from a Medevil Times visit

A trimmed piece of scrapbook paper

As you can see you can add anything you'd like to

Your book..

and believe me it grows quickly too

Next month we will be decorating it

And Journaling in it...

And building a

Character for this book..

I since have changed my cover

I will be making a book of my railroad career

And a book about me the artist/ designer/ creator

That I am..

You still have time to catch up and do this with us

Collect your garbage and get it on to the binder rings

Then next month I will show you the next step

I love recycling things

Don't you!

I am an admitted Dumpster Diver too

I like to make all things have a new life

Wish it worked that way for people sometimes too

Happy Garbage Collecting

See ya next month on this one
