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 :)

Blogging Again and Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hello Friends!

I feel like I'm sending a signal out to the vast unknown...
like I've lost touch...
It's been so many months since I've made a blog post,
I really did not intend that to happen.
But
I'm still here, I'm still creating...

And
I'm not going to try to catch up
all in this one blog post :O

I am in a yearlong swap project hosted by Linda
of Swap for All Seasons,
which is a monthly sampler/fabric collage.
I am loving it!!  These are so much fun to make!
This is my January swap:

I wanted to incorporate a heart into it,
since she didn't actually received it til February!  :)

And this is my February swap:

 I just love combining all the fabric and lace bits
we all accumulate along the way. 

This is a little altered heart box that I made for
my Paper Soiree group's February swap:


It's so hard to put the glitter away when Christmas is over :)

Just a couple of cute projects,

some cute images,





and best wishes for a Happy Valentine's Day!!

I will be back next week, so please don't give up on me :)
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!!

Halloween! Matchbox! Freebies!

Hello Friends!

Well, I've been down for the count for the last week
due to a cold that came on like a lion.
I think it's finally moving on,
but I had to share a bright spot in my week last week,
my swap from Tami, my partner in JoAnne's Matchbox Swap.

If you read my post last week, you may remember
that I said that my partner and I were a perfect match?
If you didn't read it, :O
or don't remember, :(
you can scroll down
or click here.

OK, if you don't want to click,
here is an excerpt:

"I made this altered matchbox for a swap at Vintage Dragonfly:


 There is more texture and color variation to the matchbox
than you can see in this picture.
My partner prefers Fall colors and not too creepy,
so we were a perfect match!"


Well.
Imagine my surprise when I opened my box to find this:

 
Mine:


 Hers:
 
Yes!  We used the same frame!!
If matchboxes had sisters, they would be sisters!
So, that whole perfect match thing...
But a little bit spooky, right?  :)

It is really a lovely matchbox, and Tami filled it with wonderful
seasonal goodies, thank you, Tami, I love it!

To get even more mileage out of this matchbox swap :D
I took photos of the presentation.

Here is my card...

...clear away the cobwebs (figuratively) :)
to find this:
Due to the cold, I had to miss my Paper Soiree meeting, :(
but I did manage to make little favors for everyone:
 

Some washi tape wrapped around an inked spool, some baker's twine,
a skeleton hand hot glued into the hole,
and some Tim Holtz Halloween tickets.
I wish I'd taken a pic of them all together,
they were pretty cute.

Fall and Halloween images!!
