I love the cording and the big swirly wire and the
crystal embellishment-- It seems I can never stop adding -- stuff -- to my creations , and of course I am all about the color pink .
Ok ,will try to blog more often and need to take pics of my historic town -- Have a great day tomorrow -- " This is the day the LORD has made - Let us rejoice and be glad in it "-- Kathy - GA

This is another challenge from that same zine -


we were challenged and given ideas to cover our candles -- This was my idea of a sweet cover.


I adore cherub graphics -- and well let's just say I have a few uh well a lot ! This is on cardstock and was tied around the candle -- and has many decoupaged layers



O.k I know I am switching my banner - back and forth -- the one I worked on before the crash , is somewhere in my files -- with the back issue -- so much better ( thanks for the e mails and the comments -- I actually went to the grocery store today -- Oh the watermelon and fruit -so yummy -- that and chicken salad croissants --for lunch - mine and hubs fav !!






Anyway still looking for the banner -- The one i just displayed is a creation challenge from one of Teresa






Mc Fayden's --zine classes --- I made this for the door of my craft - er studio door (sounds like I might know a thing or two to call it a studio lol !) --

Getting up to speed --

This is one of my favorite pictures of one of the oldest trees in America - near Charleston ,S.C.
Charleston is one of my favorite vacation spots -- we go there quite a bit - Hub and I are such lovers of history -- I really need to take pics of our town - a very historic town - with the house that Margaret Mitchell used in her idea of Ashley's home in "Gone with the Wind "-- it is a quaint town --with concerts on the square every Thursday at lunch in the spring -- very charming -with babies in strollers --people picknicking -and business men enjoying lunch and
music around the square -- The town has grown so since we moved here(90,000 +) -- we have a large industrial park -including General Mills -- a french perfume bottle co and many others
industrial area -- I will soon do a walking tour and take pictures --


This is a favorite gate in Charleston

Well ,learning a new computer program - takes longer than I thought --

Thanks to all who e mailed and left notes -- I was finally able to get my e - mail straight

and get some addresses into my book also -- Have been enroled into Teresa McFayden 's

"WRITE PLACE " -- got in just in time -- Not getting to spend much time on it yet

as I am still playing catch - up -- from vacation and computer meltdown --

Dazed and confused --Computerspeak 101 dazed

This is me today -- pensive , not totally happy
not mad hmm - perplexed -- Anyone out there
know how to get your e - mail addressbook onto a new computer ??
or even find it ???
Well, as my computer decided to give up the ghost --I will say
I was fortunate to be able to have a computer whiz --who was able to
transfer all my files and pictures to the new computer -- What a blessing he was,
to lose all the graphics and pics --I would have been (southern vernacular)
" SQUALLIN " -- big time crocodile tears . Scott was such a blessing ,
and made it virtually painless -- But not being online for 3 weeks -- has been hard --
It will take a month of reading to keep up with what has been happening with all my
bloggie -friends . Yikes i had over 200 e- mails -- I am still learning this new
computer , if i don't reply promptly - bear with me .
OK enough whining -- God has blessed me with a new computer -
They said this would be a dragster as compared to the volkswagen
engine I was driving lol -- So watch out girls Here I come !!
Blessings -- Kathy - GA .
