Thanks for the nice comments everyone!

Magic Portals

The second book in the round robin has arrived.
The theme: Magic.
The thought of magical portals came to mind immediately. A world brought to life through the power of imagination. Our imaginations are magical...they can take us places, experience things, create a world all our own...suspend reality...

I have a more traditional "Magic" thought for the second page in mind.

Friday Freebie

Hey, it's tax day here in the good old USA ...do you know where your paperwork is?

The the IRS would believe you if you said the bears ate it?  Probably not....

Enjoy!

***Just two days left to enter my blogoversary giveaway!***

Wedding Paper Bag Book

My daughters teacher is getting married. She is such a sweet and fun gal, so I wanted to do something special for her.
Of course, because I am the way I am I wait until the final moments to complete it. That works out okay I guess because since she's already opened it I can share it with you!

Tea and books

I really enjoy my tea. It's a daily ritual for me...at least until the hot weather comes.

I also love books! I'm especially drawn to old books. I love the way they look and feel.

Some I would never alter in any way and others scream at me to make them my own with paint, paper, fabric and glue.

Hop on over to Kimmies blog to see what the other girls are doing today.

Blogoversary..and a giveaway!

I can't believe it's been 4 years since I started blogging! I wasn't sure it was going to be for me but now I can't image not blogging!

My very first post was on a tiny handmade book that I sent off to North Dakota if memory serves.

I'd like to celebrate by having a giveaway!!  Doesn't that sound like a great idea...

So if you'd like to win this set of 5 blank greeting cards...
Just leave a comment on this post, making sure I have some way to contact you if you win, by 10pm CT on April 17th.  I'll draw a name and post the winner on Monday morning!  

Lions and Tigers and Bears...oh my!

Ok...so, no lion... I'm not sure that there is one at our zoo. But we didn't make it through the whole thing. We were tired and the weather wasn't nearly as warm as promised.


How about Wolves, Tigers and Bears... oh my! 

The bear on the tree just cracks me up!!!
