A few ATC's

I finally got something made!!!

I'll be send three of these off for trade with my mother-in-law's cousins.

My container garden

These are a few of my herb plants.

They were started in yogurt cups on my grow cart in the late spring.

As were these yellow pear shaped tomatoes from saved seeds from last season.

I also saved marigold seeds about 6 years ago...who knew they'd still grow!

I have more flowers in pots and in the ground here and there but these I am most proud of since I propagated them myself.

BLAH!

I'm feeling slightly hog-tied.

OK...I've never tied a hog in my life. BUT my scanner isn't playing nicely with my new computer and my sweet, computer nerdy savvy husband hasn't had a chance to deal with it!

I'm totally Jonesin' to do some digital art but without my custom brushes, it really seems pointless.

Burried Treasure

I missed out on the last collaborative project that Seth put out there but didn't want to miss the boat on this one.

He called for fellow bloggers to look back at their blogs and repost their favorite.

Several blogs I get feeds from are doing this challenge as well. One of the bloggers I admire picked a favorite from each of the years she has blogged. I like that idea so I shall follow her lead.

Altered book page

This is the page that will go in the mail today to be included in the 10th Anniversary book being put together by Corinne Stubson. I just had to get involved, all be it late in the project.

Digital berries

This digital collage was completed BEFORE my computer died. I lost all my custom brushes at that time.

Of course, I found out later that I had no one to blame but my ignorant self. UGH! I hate it when I screw up. I never permanently saved my custom brushes.

Let this be a lesson to you all!!

Leave it to my husband...

only my guy could manage to get spanked with a ruler by a nun during a parade!!!

Hot summer nights

What could be more mesmerizing than a fire...

Skinny book complete

I got my ABC 6th Anniversary swap package in the mail yesterday and went to work on the front and back covers nearly immediately. I bound the book this morning and love how it looks.

Sewing project

I loved the look of my fabric ATC's so much that I decided to make a small purse in a simliar fashion. It totally reminds me of a crazy quilt.

Hopefully very soon I'll have my finished purse to take when I go shopping!

Hammered Copper Bowl?

NOPE.

My handmade paper bowl after some fixing.

Happy Independence Day
