Can you believe the beauty of the tags that Jenny sent to me in our swap!!! Well, first, look at the beauty and attention to detail that she pays in her packing! A beautifu pink feather! A tag AND Note! The note card is actually one from Heather that Jenny sent a note on : )

Now, more beauty~

Each and every tag is special!

I like to call this "Let's EAT"! Of coarse she used recipe paper...IN A NEW WAY! She used it as a ruffle at the bottom of the tag. I love this idea!

Next we have~



~ Three Friends!

They are really playing it up for the camera! The wall paper she used reminds me of a picnic, Which friends always do together. It was a very happy day for them: )

Love this one ALSO! And the last tag: every kid needs to have a bike! Jenny really knows how to make
everything a "Holiday!"

Ok, I have to get back to work. I have to "dito" what Jenny says in her latest post. That is, that I am also hard at work, with any sun kissed skin fading until the next walk or garden project. I will have photos of my VERY OWN SPACE SOON! It is beautiful in many ways : )

~~~~Beautiful~~~~

~~~~SIGH~~~~

This beautiful piece of art is from the so lovely Jenny Holiday! I can not believe that I was so lucky to be one of her swap partners! I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, THIS! I asked for anything sparkley AND "JENNY". I wanted this to reflect herself, a piece that she would make for herself. : ) Each square is so very special. I tried to get individual shots of squares, but some where blurry (my trade mark). Then I saw that some compositions with more than one square showed her piece in another light! I love the over lapping in this photo.

My photo is blurry, not her photo. The ribbon comming up like a wave and the sea glass and
starfish...perfect!

Like I said, the only information I gave Jenny was that I like all things glittery and wanted this to be a piece by her. But you will not believe all of the things on here that do mean something to ME! My Dad would go to the Mall with us. It was an hour drive. He would go off to Sears and come back to our meeting place, always with a pretzel in his hand! : ) My Mom and Dad took us to Lake Michigan for our vacation every year! I collected some glass and many stones. My Grandmother Fraser had a button jar that I loved to spill out in the bedroom off of the kitchen. (Jenny, This Bedroom would make you faint onto the lovely bedcovering. It was All So feminie and gorgeous from, I guess the late 40's, complete with a fluffy tiered skirt dressing table in a kidney shape and all of the necessities. It was one of my Aunts Bedrooms.
I have Many Many photos for you! I wish you could see it in person because my abilities do not even come close to capturing the beauty of this piece!

Notice the confetti hearts she included in the package!

Of Coarse we must have CAKE!!! : ) I think that Jenny might have painted this delicous cake AND some of the wallpaper backing the collage!!! : )

Notice the "M" and then see the "HAPPY" !!! That's Mary!!!

I think that the cake that you can see the bottom of in this photo is PAINTED BT JENNY! I thought it was a cut out! SooooTalented! Enlarge the photos to see the deatail!

This is so very special! I LOVE IT!

Ok! Breathe! This piece is absolutely breathtaking! Jenny surely hosted a very special swap! All of the participants had amazingly gorgeous work! The execution of the artists was rich and inspiring! I am telling you! If Jenny holds another swap you better get yourself over there and sign up! Thanks Jenny from the bottom of my heart!

Now You See It...

Melting! That is what the temperatures here where this past weekend! So the Hubby decided to empty out the office closet (Doug helped) and remove the exicisting shelves. When he did this he found THIS:

A slice in the carpet. I guess the builder put the shelves in before the carpet. This house was already underconstruction when we found it and needed it PRONTO! We came in from Michigan and met with the realtor in the morning. He did not have much to show us but "this house just was reduced!" I thank God for
All of the special blessings that summer!

There is a nice step-up into the room. But what shall we do now that the carpet is sliced? K.C. loves hardwood but not right now. He knows I have wanted to paint the stairs to the uppper level and paint our masterbedroom floors also. WHITE GLOSS! LOVELY!!! I have wanted this for YEARS!!! I mean YEARS and YEARS! Even before Caitlin and I went to visit my brother Matt in New York in Sept. 2001! When he opened the loft door there they were! Beautiful white floors. His girlfriend let us know how he wanted to get them painted in honor of our visit. Oh so sweet is my big Brother! He was also doing some great pieces of white textured natural materials that I was invited to help him with!..But events changed.

There is a perfect pocket door, hardwood and paneled that you can not see right now since it is opened.

There is also an octaganol window that opens. :)

The room is 7' by 5 1/2'. Huge and wonderful through my eyes! It is going to be My spot! I can have the sewing machine set up permanently! Ready to go by just a flip of the switch. Ah heaven. I have not had that luxury since I was a young girl at my parents home. Soon, very soon it will be done! I plan for it to be all white. the moldings, floor, walls and ceiling. I am very tempted to put color on the floor. something like Green, pink or a beautiful shade of summery blue, like the dining room walls :) Lovely. I was thinking of painting a border on it that I have been dreaming of, but there would not be much of it visible once the room is loaded. I can put color on the chair! Oh need to go shopping for a chair..note to self start in the basement! That is were the best deals are found hahah.
I have not forgotten about all of the things I am making for you all out there! The week has started and I am back to the kitchen table Where a beautiful array of colors drift and float.

Look at what came in the mail last week!!!

This is from Justiss for the Tag Swap that Tammy hosted. This was her very first tag and swap also! She made a different tag for each of us! She also included several sheets of music and some cute shell like buttons! Totally above and beyond! I love the Eiffel Tower that she put on mine and the modern pattern she placed on the body of the tag! I do like some modern things. Did you notice how they can add energy to a room when they are used in decorating! Same with tags! Oh and it is pink and a yumy shade of milk chocolate. Love it! Thank You Justiss!

So I am working hard for you all and for breaks I am going to paint that closet! Oh please no more wood putty on the floor!
