bottle!
YIPPEE I DO TOO!

Here's a photo from the new book...
which shows the FULL bottle stamp ...

I made the label a seperate stamp...
so that the bottle can be used for other things...
I have IDEAS...

and you can use the label other places too...

It's stamped on a Hambly transparency...

and colored with Ranger's alcohol ink fillable pen...
so simple & FUN!

You make me sooooooooooooo very happy!

ENABLING and holiday...

I get emails every day asking where to get the products I use...

Where can the elusive grungePAPER be found???
When are the Fillable alcohol ink pens shipping???
Who has the Memory Capsules in stock???

So...to make your shopping easier...

I'm now working with Joy & Daisy @ eclecticPaperie to provide you with one stop shopping...

Here's how it will work...

They will let me know when NEW products arrive...
and when items are SOLD OUT... (so you don't waste time looking)...

and I'll provide the link here, so you can grab what you need before it's GONE...

I chose to work with them because...

They have EXCELLENT customer service...
quick shipping...I WANT my stuff IMMEDIATELY!
I bet you do too...

They give eclectic goodies with orders over $40.00!
FREE stuff is GOOD!

... they are NICE gals too!

and...

they will have ALL my studio 490 stamps in stock!!

YIPPEE!
I LOVE to help people SHOP!

Your hubbies may not love me...
but they'll get over it when they see how happy you are!...ha!

So...if you've been looking for grungePAPER...
eclecticPaperie just got some in yesterday...

Grab some quick...it flies out the door as soon as it arrives everywhere!

Get a pack or 2...believe me...
it's ADDICTING stuff...

TRUST ME...
you won't want to run out!



Happy Memorial weekend from Rick & I to all of you!

This is our huge flag pole...
It was a Christmas gift to me a few years ago...
I LOVE IT!

As you can see...

we really DO live in the middle of nowhere!!

Critter report...

yes...the skunk is still around...
looks like we'll need to hire a sharp shooter...

I hope I'm out of town that day!

That's it!

Happy LONG holiday weekend and
Happy SHOPPING...
HEY...it's a FACT...

You NEED stuff...
to...

make art!
wendy

art stuff, vintage stuff and skunk stuff...

WHAT???

SKUNK???????

First...the art stuff...

I need to add more info for yesterday's post...

I was in a hurry to leave...Sorry about that!!


Rick said...
ROAD TRIP...get dressed!

We'll go get your organizers @ Costco...
(I'll have photos, as soon as they are assembled!) They're cute!

SHOPPING?

And maybe a quick stop @ an antique mall???

I'm outta here...I moved like the place was on fire!

So...

Here's the scoop about filling the alcohol pens, right from tim.

Filling info & more...check it out on you tube...

The cool striped background paper I used is from My Mind's Eye...
LOVE IT!

The pattern name is BelleBella French Flea Market Bleu Striped Item # BB1027...

Presentation board is a black mat type board...
it comes in large sheets @ Hobby Lobby...
I use it a lot...
Hey...it's BLACK!


Yes...once filled...
the pen works just like a marker on non porous surfaces...

metal, like I did...
transparencies...
glossy paper...
clear rhinestones...
fragments...

try the pens...you'll have fun!

now the vintage stuff...

We found some cool things again...

I love numbers...text...

A whole roll of carnival tickets...LOVE the color...
perfect for a class or 2 or 50!

And...an old drawer with a cool handle...
It's black...
I knew it was meant for me...



This was my best find!!
A vintage garment cutter...
it's about 2 feet tall...

copyrighted 1890!



Right now it's leaning on a hoosier in the dining room...
but it may just end up in the bathroom...
after the redo...
still got to find some cool black faucets...
I need more hours in the day!

Since our bedroom is across from the bath...
I'm planning a bedroom redo too...but that's still a secret!
Don't tell you know who...I'd like to surprise him...
or gently break the news...


We had a lovely day together...
stopped for dinner...
NO COOKING!
YIPPEE!

I sat down to read the newspaper...
looked out the window & saw this...

Click to make the photo larger...
See the spot in the middle???

I thought we had company...
a new mouth to feed...


I think...NOT!!

YIKES!!
A SKUNK!!!!!!!!!!

Now what???

We both love animals...
but ...we have limits...

How can we get this guy out of here??????????





And we saw him again early this morning...horrors!!


Any ideas???
Tell me if you do!!!
PLEASE!

I don't have time to be on "skunk patrol"...

I need to...

make art!
