Halloween sneak peek -- creating those spooky things


Been busy with my swaps everything in the halloween category has been mailed -Now onto Christmas -- Just received my shadowbox swap -"Wowee " is it cute -- got to take some pics today . My partner should have gotten hers -- just in case -- don't want to spoil the surprise .

Have been making so many tags -- sigh - my faves !!- and I received so many cute ones -- want to take pics of all and then decorate my art shelves in my room .

I love to create my elements for any project and all my pics and words and paper elements are from my computer graphics --

These are for my ornie swap -- lots of elements on it -- I made 12 and will get back 12 -- Can't wait - as these girls are all fearsome "ARTISTS "

Sorry the bat a little blurred --
Hope you have a great weekend -- Fall is dancing her way into the south --Cool mornings and evenings --slight breeze -and low 80's in the daytime
MUch welcomed after --two weeks of daily pouring rain
God is good !!! Blessings -- Kathy

Viv's pinkeep swap - I am a Lucky Girl ?--


Ok this is the senior moment --i was talking about below
I constantly forget that blogger -loads first pic as last -etc --
very frustrating ( this pink pinkeep is my swap for carol-she
likes pink, green . glitz. sweet things also) -Sorry Carol . wanted your adorable
gift to me to be first -- Ok you know I am electronically challenged -
I am self taught - and my doublespeak -is- I don't know what I don't know !
( sometimes there are easier ways to do things
but I don't realize it - just doing what I know or understand )-is that clear ??lol.
The blogger thingy says you can move pics around
I am so nervous about getting them on at all - SO ANYONE -- please tell me how
P. s. also the spacing on my blog -like double spaced -- did I change this somehow ?


How sweet is this ??? I was lucky enough to have


as my swap partner for Viv's pinkeep

swap - Visit Viv to see the other wonderful creations posted at http://vivoutonawhim.blogspot.com/.

I totally adore this precious Rose pinkeep ,

Sorry my pics do not show the crystal candlestick

that she created it on . Look see the strawberry one

- for some reason I am now obsessed with these ,

altho my collection in now only two .

I bought my first one not too long ago , and did not mention it

( course sometimes I have a senior moment- so maybe i did - lol )

Yikes I have a hard time thinking that of myself -

How did this happen , a girl in her prime suddenly

gets a note in the mail from senior citizens group ??

sorry the ranting sidetracked me from my mission

hmm a senior moment ? -- I am looking for more

They are so sweet -- I have a vignette planned with these ,

oops guess you have found my secret -- I love pretty ,

and I am unorganized in my craft room (working on it tho )

but everything needs to be useful and tell a story also -

so can you believe it - I bought a mini "PINK ! "

sewing machine to sew my paper creations --

and I have it all planned -- Cute little black dressing table

a wonderful $15 yard sale find - will become my sewing table

at the end of my " real " workspace table . Not ready yet tho

to show it -- the said work table is piled high with all

the things I want to sort -- very fave things ahem -that were in

all the "STUFF " i talked of organizing in previous posts .

I am getting there - but years of patterns and books ,

wood items and paints, plus the files drawers (most hated

chore )-is quite a job Don't mention books here -or mags

that is a whole other-huge- subject . Categorizing is a confusing thing also ,

for all things. I guess I am a mixed media artist ?? - I love paper crafts '

and altering anything - using paper, stamping , metal etc .


As far as stickers , etc. have always had them in rubbermaid drawers

with a label - but the pile had to be searched through - Thought of making a notebook

the ones - two or three in. wide ,with further categories -flowers ,

vintage , holidays ( have lots of christmas - halloween ) so may

break that down further - within a heavy duty pocket card or freezer -zip lock bag

that i will grommet- What ideas do you guys use ???- would love to do a blog or posts on organizing ideas --don't even know how to do those link things -
Blessings ,Kathy- Ga ♥
