Layers of the Heart

Just want to wish all you love bugs a Happy Valentine's Day! I will be attempting red velvet brownies here in awhile. I was supposed to make them yesterday for hubby to take to work today, but my yesterday was not a good day. I was in my office until 7pm, so nothing creative got done. I hate when that happens!

This morning I did finish my layered paper heart. For some reason it reminds me of a kite. I would like to fly a heart shaped kite. Hmmmm....I'm having a light bulb moment!

The tissue ruffle is made from an old pattern!

Love the touch of  *BLING*

Layers of Paper Embellished with Various Ribbons and a Dash of German Glass Glitter!


Anyhoo...enjoy your day with your loved ones. Eat a cookie or some chocolate and do whatever brings a smile to your face! I'm thinking those red velvet brownies are gonna do it for ME! *Twinkle*Twinkle

30 Day Challenge of Things I Love...Day 5

This is my favorite new picture frame. I found it at the Feathered Nest Market, which is just down the street from me. I was at Country Temptations the other day and found the exact same frame on sale...50% off!

I love unique finds and this was perfect for this photo of me and Kira at her wedding. The perfect rustic touch for an outdoor mountain wedding!

One of the BEST Days of My Life!

The Photo is Actually Screwed Into The Frame. 

The cool thing is the frame can be turned sideways, as well. Just unscrew the wing nut and slide it up and flip the frame around. The stand is wrought iron. Very well made!

30 Day Challenge of Things I love...Day 4

Ok, so I blew it. I missed a couple of days, but life happens.  Hubby got sick and I ended up taking him to the walk in clinic on Saturday. Sunday and Monday, I wasn't feeling well and Tuesday was month end for work and frankly...a day from hell! Waaa, Waaa, Waaa! Ok, moving on now...

DREAMY!

SWEET CHIPPINESS!
Is that even a word?!

LOVE those knobs!!!

I went nuts when I found this gem of a chest! It was at one of my favorite antique/junk joints. The chippy paint pulled at my heartstrings and I just had to have it. There's blue paint showing through and some pale yellow and gold. The knobs are porcelain. The drawers are lined with felt and the top drawer has compartments. It's filled with my jewelry and some other tidbits, like extra buttons from tops I've purchased, stuff like that. It was nicely organized at one point, but now I just sort of throw it all in there. Did I really just say that out loud??? Ooops!
