Tri-Fold Reliquary . . .

Love this design that Gina did for me. It will soon be available at For Keeps Sake as will all the products I used on this little tri-fold.

Don't you love the way all those Viva Products make this chipboard shine?

It's put together with some hinges Gina made out of chip

and they bend and work beautifully.

CYI girls and altered aprons . . .

Hi CYI gal pals. Remember when we worked on altered aprons. Look how cute this one is:

If Peter Piper . . .

Recently Aldi's carried a large bag of small sweet peppers. The colors were so beautiful I couldn't resist. Vibrant shades of red, yellow and orange. Too many for just the two of us, so . . . 

I used this recipe:

The Amateur Gourmet's Pickled Peppers

leaving out the shallots

and using 1 cup of white vinegar with 1 cup of white balsamic vinegar.

They'll *ferment* in the fridge for a bit

and then we'll taste.

 

I am totally in love with Graphic 45's Typography . . .

Thanks to Gina of Gina's Designs, we worked out a totally cool little tri-fold to use specifically with Graphic 45's Typography. 

This class will take place at

For Keeps Sake - St. Louis MO

Sunday, September 29

12:30 - 3:30

I will show you how to put this booklet together and then we'll decorate with the newest of Graphic 45's collections, Typography. The class includes everything you need to finish the project:  Gina's Designs chipboard cut to size; bookbinding tape; Graphic 45's Typography paper; paper pad and pen; elastic to hold pen in place; manilla envelope for your personal collections like coupons; ribbon closure. (sorry, Graphic 45 tag not included)

The class is only $25

and room for just 12 people.

Hope you can join me!

Does anyone have . . .

a small piece of chicken wire? I'm trying to make a little somethin' somethin' and I need a piece of chicken wire that would be approximately 7" tall x 12" wide.  After looking at some of the hardware stores, I could only find it in big packs that sold for $30.  

Or . . . if you know of a store in St. Louis that sells it by the yard, please let me know.

Thank you!

 

A Very Merry Christmas . . .

Did I just type September? Yikes!
