Hello all - here are a few new pics for the blog. They are Valentines jewelry creations, that I have completed recently. The pendant is for a swap which I belong to in Yahoo.
The four heart pins are from pre-felted hearts I picked up at a local craft shop, and I have embellished to my hearts content.
It's snowing here today, thank goodness that we did not get the ice that a lot of places have. Ice is far worse than the snow. This day reminds me of Buffalo. I thought that I left that behind me when we moved here to Ohio. I know that it snows here, but come on now!!!
Looking forward to tomorrow, lunch with my good friends.

See ya--

Well here it is the New Year!!!, and it is freezing outside. At least it's not snowing at the moment, we actually had sunshine for a little while today.
I put this new pic of a charm which I had laying around in my work room. I like this charm quite a bit, and have decided to dust it off.
Hubby and I have decided to loose a little weight, and have been looking into purchasing a WII, with the Fitness program. We have tried it out for a few days, courtesy of his partner at work. I have to say that you really get a good workout with this silly thing. But, it is fun, which makes a big difference.

I thought that my sister-in-law would have really liked the pics that I made for her, but I think not. All she said was she wanted the original pics, which isn't happening. She has family pictures above her stove. There is no way that she is getting these beautiful pictures, and having them damaged that way!!! Someday, when I feel generous, I may give them to her daughter Danielle. But only when I am good and ready to do so.

Oh well - what is the saying, you cannot pick your family------

Christmas Present

Hi all - I'm here amongst the living. Things have been really busy lately, getting all my swaps done so that I can start on making my Christmas cards. In the meantime, I made the two pictures for a present for my lovely sister-in-law. The little boys are my husbands (and hers) Father (Earl) and Uncle Fran. I have always loved the pictures, so does she, and I decided to make something for her with the images. They are two ATC's that are put into a picture frame, that is clear. I created the background using scrap booking paper, and I distressed it along with the colored paper under the ATC's. The background of the ATC is from an old spelling book that I have. Hopefully she will like them.
Hubby has given me the pictures from our vacation, I just have to figure out how to upload from the CD. I will ------
My lovely friend Lou has asked me to fill in on a swap that someone had to drop out of at the last minute, and I said I would. The ladies in the group have given me the most warm welcome that I ever had from any Yahoo group ever. I whole heartily thank them for their kindness. Most groups now seem to be going by the wayside.
Have to get buy and put more of my old Christmas Decorations on E-bay.
Until next time. - Darlene
