Vintage Marketplace, Hungry Caterpillar Birthday and Easter Freebies!!

Hello Friends!

Well here I am, trying to get in a blog post before the end of March.

And it has been a busy March!
My adorable little grandson turned one,
and I had lots of fun creating for his
Very Hungry Caterpillar birthday party!
I made this little accordian photo holder with a picture
for each of his first twelve months:

This is just the first six months showing.


 No, I didn't make the cake, but isn't it so cute?!

I did make this welcome wreath for the front door:
 My daughter and the birthday boy:

 Here he is vigorously removing the birthday crown that I had made him,
made of felt:
  I knew when I made it that it wouldn't last long, lol!

And a little banner I made,
using half of a honeycomb ball for the caterpillar head:



One year already, and you can see he is a little boy,
not a baby anymore...
But so so much fun!!

My friend Pam is expecting a new grandson this month,
so I made a scrappy little photo book for her,
all she need do is add pictures:

The cover:

And a few favorite layouts:


Made from those cute little We R Memories 4x4 books,
I just love those!!

This is a little bunny favor I made for our Paper Soiree gathering this month:


Made from a painted peat pot, he's designed for the rear view,
see his cute little bunny tail, made from fluffy felt?

Sigh...Vintage Marketplace was fantastic this spring:






Aren't these so funny?
Farm animals made from vegetables!! 




I was enchanted by these umbrellas, cups and coffeepots hanging in the trees:










It was a lovely morning,
we were glad we got there early
as it got much hotter later in the day.

Here are some freebies for you,
thanks for visiting and sticking with me through this looong post :)

October! Halloween ATCs! Freebies!

Hello Friends!

I am playing in ArtJoyStuff's ATC swap,
the theme of which is "Masked Beauty".

I love Art Deco Halloween images
and thought this one would fit the theme just right:

I used some spidery paper as the background and
edged the card with washi tape.

I made each one a bit different, just cuz.
 

Yay!
It's October!!

 
 Another reason I like October is because it is my birthday month!
And that means guilt-free shopping all month long ;)

Here are some Art Deco freebies for your own use:

November! Birthday swap! Leaf Peeping! Anthropologie!

Hello Friends!

It's November!

I really need to make this blog post today
to keep my hands busy
because I'm home...
all alone...
with the leftover Halloween candy!!  :O

I recently participated in a swap
for the first time at Swap for All Seasons.
It's a monthly swap, with monthly themes and colors.
You make a card, a tag, and a bag of themed goodies!

This month's theme was "Birthday"
and the color was November Brown!
What a fun challenge!
The card I made:


And my tag:



I just received my package today from my swap partner,
 and I will post pics next week.

Just a few pics from my leaf peeping trip to New England:

These pics were taken in Lexington, MA.
I was afraid we would miss the peak season again,
especially since we went later this year than usual.
But no, I think we hit it just right!
Peak foliage is a complicated mix of summer rainfall, sunny/cloudy days,
daytime/nighttime temperatures, even windy days.
Last year there was a big rainy, windy storm just before we arrived,
which pretty much shook all the leaves off the trees. :(
But this year was sweet. 


Then a stop in NYC for a few days.
Anthropologie, I love you, but wha???


These "rocks" are sculpted paper and painted:


I guess it's their riff on the Natural History Museum, but...

The ice skating rink at Rockefeller Center was up and running:

 And, I risked getting reprimanded by taking this pic of a Marie Antoinette era
dress at the Metropolitan Museum of Art:

 Like I'm not going to take a picture of that!
Its not super clear because I had to act fast! :)
