This is where I come to be creative with paper, fabric and design.

Good morning......

I hope that your day is going as good as mine.
Here's some eye candy to bring a smile to your face......
We really aren't to far from autumn. My very favorite time of year!
Enjoy!

Breathe......

I thought this a fitting phrase to how we felt when we arrived at Cannon Beach, Oregon and were swept into the waves and the sunset the moment we arrived.......

 
I don't ever think I have seen my Husband more relaxed as I did when I captured him in this photo, thus the stamp that I found was fitting to the event.
 
 
It was well worth the drive to see him unwind and relax.
We that live among the mountains, are fascinated with the ocean.
 
 
So I captured that as we all do.....the sights, smells, the sunset and the waves in this layout.
Pretty simple....but then again.....so were the days that we shared at the beach.
 
Enjoy your weekend and remember something that gives you that restfulness and peace.

Not quite sure.......

if having my jaw wired or my misfortune of not having enough space in our rental to DIY much....or that I can not get my brand new camcorder and computer to recognize each other so I can post my new projects and minis...:o( ......whatever is getting the best of me today I have decided to look at the positive side...........the "jaw" is only temporary....coming out of the wires in January.....the rental will be gone johnson in about three months....(and it is a sweet little place...emphasis on SMALL however...LOL)....and I know that somewhere....someone...sometime....I will be getting the "puter and the camera" to talk and play nicely with each other......(keep your fingers crossed for me)....but in between all my "Monday" I have been scouring the net waves and have come across some fantastic blogs.........of great DIYers!
Gander at this beauty......
Who would have thought it would have started out like this......
Makes one simply take note and say....OMGosh....this is soooooo cute. My Daughter has this exact table.....I wish I could find her the chairs......
I mean come on.....aren't these just so elegant and lovely in their black coat of renewal? How I wish I had them......I need a new dining room set for the new house we are building.....and these chairs would be perfection!

Then there was another little gem.......
This darling little table that started out bland and was given new life with a shelf added very simply to the bottom and again...that gracious coat of paint.......isn't it just fabo-sous!
I have seen many tables similar to this many times in my wanderings and scouring's for just that cute, little, fun, right piece.......and they have surely done this one justice.
So dear ones.....before you toss, donate, set aside or just give up on yours......think twice....yes there is time and efforts in all these projects....but look what you end up with.....
Something beautiful.....something's you totally changed.....and something others wish they had discovered or found......that they could transform.......:o) Knowledge comes in all forms to us.....gather it around you and give yourself the gift of trying.....your skills on a worn, torn object that you transform into a piece that will give your home warmth and grace......:o)

Hope you have enjoyed them as much as I did......
