  • frondly yours

    I just learned that Debris Journal is currently full for the event in July.  *dances a jig*  There is still room in Frond Chronicles.  I've been working on another class sample….I am addicted to making and using these shapes, inspired by real plant life, with a little creative license.

    See, even the wishes have *winks*.  If you want to know more and are thinking of attending the event in New Jersey in July, visit the CREATE site HERE.

    Thanks for all the birthday wishes.  For me and for Shannon. 

    I'm heading home.  See you in a week.  *waves*

  • happy birthday to us

    Whether you say Always Remembering You or Remembering You Always, it simply means you never stop thinking about someone.  Especially when your heart is so filled with love.  And sweet memories.  And sister secrets.  Especially because you are missing her.  The day she left for heaven is significant, but the day she was born is the one to celebrate, especially if your share that same birthdate.

    Roses fill the gardens.  Roses fill the vases.  Piles of cards and packages.  Lots of joy here.  I'm a lucky girl.

  • discomfort zone: orange

    I don't do orange.  I don't have orange paint.  But I had to make a page about my new crush:  Cara Cara from Sunkist.  I usually wake up with a glass of orange juice but lately I'm substituting with these.  So juicy, seedless, nearly red interior…they got a celebration in my journal.  No orange?  Red + Yellow does the trick.

    Have you stepped out of your comfort zone lately?  I'm feeling a little better about orange today.

  • minimalism

    Our challenge this month on the Street Team is a exercise of restraint.  Hold back.  Compose cleverly so there is more breathing room, less clutter.  Often we think that untouched space means it's unfinished.  Not true.  Less isn't superior or inferior, just a different approach.  Busy can be good too.  There are no rules, but for this crusade it's been interesting to see how the artists have responded to purposely going minimal.  Like this the page below….because last week I saw my first new patch of clovers!

    This will be the last crusade for a while as I take a self-imposed hiatus.  Maybe you'll come play?

  • confetti time

    First, let me say Thank You to everyone who came by for Seth's book launch celebration.  Loved hearing from so many new readers, and love seeing all the answers to the questions!  It felt like I was in a confetti storm – it's been a festive week.

    In case you didn't get the memo, today is Oreo's 100th anniversary.  Can you believe Google didn't jump on that?  Hello, where was the clever variation of their logo?  Two cookies that drop down into milk.  Easy.  Oreo is a treat available worldwide.  Where is the respect?  I wonder if they will pass over Titanic's anniversary next month too?  I didn't forget….I made a page.  Yes, 100 dots.  And a few quickie carvings to help me mimic some Oreo-ness.

    We scored some birthday cake confetti frosting Oreos last week.  We don't usually stray from the original.  Double Stuff probably makes alot of people happy but I think they are too much.  Now these dunkers were cool – did you ever see them?  A few years ago Shannon brought these to the cabin.  I howled at the cleverness.  Never saw them after that but never forgot them either.

    I'm off to dunk a few of the standard issue Oreos in my coffee.  But before I go….let's meet in the comment section again.  It was so much fun to see the conversation that was generated by the questions in the last post.  How about another?

    1.  Are you a cookie person? 

    2.  If so, what is your favorite?

    3.  Do Oreos fall in your top 5 of cookies?
