New toy....

I've been wanting one of these
for some time now...

the sale at Michael's finally made it possible!!!

My Husband asked me:
"What are you going to do with so many butterflies?"

I have no idea...
but don't they look cute????

White Wednesday

On this gorgeously warm and sunny day,

hope all your dreams come true!

No matter what color they are....
Happy White Wednesday!

Christmas glitter...

I liked the idea of using my big stars

as tree toppers,

so I added a clothes pin on the back
to make them easier to use...

How surprised I was
when I tried them in different displays
around my home!
I think they make everything so festive...

I hope they will also look good
on my Christmas tree,
but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to try that...
that's when I decorate it!
(Argentinian tradition)

I'm having computer troubles...grrrr

I'm not sure if I can visit you today,

but if you can, visit all the

White Wednesday girls for me!


UPDATE:
BOTH SOLD
but more in production

My plan was to make one of those

wonderful paper wreaths I see here and there.

I ran into some "technical difficulties"
but didn't give up...

After a while I realized my wreath
wasn't going to happen as I had planned.
Too skinny.
Not full enough.

So my "wanna be wreath"
became sort of a
"confused star"

Too many rays for a star...
too few cones for a wreath...

After an hour I was over it!

I'll try again soon...

but first, I'll check out the
White Wednesday Girls,
they sure know how to make
a real Paper Wreath!

SOLD!

It's coming...

Slowly....

but surely.

Well, not really...
there is nothing slow
about it!

Christmas will be here
before we know it,
so I better keep working!

White Wednesday

A little bird told me...

it's time to work on Halloween!
Yikes!

Not much black and orange on my work table...
but I found some
dictionary pages..
a couple of crows...
some vintage trims...

and of course some glitter...

I think these vintage photograph holders
are liking their new look.
Closed...

and open...

And I love the fact that they are mostly white,
so I can share them with all the White Wednesday Girls!

White Wednesday

My romance with paper continued for a couple of days last week when I found some plain journals waiting for a makeover.

I used some of my favorite elements:
vintage photos, ribbons ,

buttons, antique lace...

I arranged them, glued and sewed...

until they were ready to record someone's intimate thoughts...

And then, I started to wonder...
do people write journals these days?
or
are all our intimate thoughts kept in some program inside our computer?

Just because...

Yesterday it took me a little while to make something.

I didn't want to paint because I was having a Good Hair Day...
(in case this doesn't make sense to you, let me explain that every time I paint, I end up with paint on my hair!!)

I couldn't sew...
my machine was acting up and I just couldn't figure it out.

But I really wanted to make something!

Reached for papers, scissors, glitter and came up with these...

Let's be honest...
They are totally useless...

but they make me happy!

Their only function in life, it's just being...

here....

there...

and everywhere...!

And I think that's a good enough reason to make some more!
