Butterfly pages

I really wanted to do another lesson for the AB101 class I took online. It was over long ago but I have yet to finish. Of course my muse didn't cooperate with me today and this is the spread that came out. It incorporated NONE, ZIP, ZERO of the lessons..oh well. I never was much of a rule follower.

I decided to only glue down one side of each butterfly so they'd have a dimensional quality. Hopefully they'll still pop up after being smashed in the book over time.

Glass Bead Magnets

OK...they will be magnets as soon as I get some to attach to the silver painted backs.

These were really fun to make. Next time I want to get some glass bits that aren't as iridescent.

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.
