VINTAGE ALBUM PAGES

I loved these vintage images I found at the scrapbooking store.....they are perfect "framed" up in old photo album pages and embellished with some paper flowers.

I so LOVE this vintage hotel mail sorter I picked up on a trip to Minnesota.
To see more projects I have done with vintage photo album pages check this and this.

Hope all is well my blogging friends!
Happy day!

CONFESSION TIME!

My husband got me a BEAUTIFUL new camera for Christmas and my confession is that....

IT HAS TAKEN ME ALMOST THREE MONTHS TO LEARN HOW TO USE IT!!!!

It is the Nikon 3100 and the consumer tag lines go on and on about how easy it is to use!!!!

WELL.....not so much for this TECHNOLOGICAL GEEK!!!

Finally, some new pictures to show you taken from my new camera!!  Hooray!!!!

These are some paper flowers made from pages of old music hymnals.....they were inspired by Laurel of Chipping with Charm (and charming she is!).  

I made some pretty garlands from my paper flowers and they will be available for sale at

 THE FESTIVE NEST SPRING SALE
