BONJOUR MES AMIS

Continuing with the paper theme, these are some gorgeous half wreaths that I made from vintage hymn books.
They look so pretty hung above a frame/door.

Please note: inspiration for this design came from an Etsy store called Simple Joys Paperie......you must check out her gorgeous shop when you have a chance!

Continuing with the paper theme!!!!!!
I know, I know....... ENOUGH ALREADY!!..... BUT.....there is MORE to come!!

These cute word swags are made from the pages of a vintage Alice in Wonderland book.

I added glitter to the edges of the pages using a two sided clear tape.  

The letters were cut from cardstock and then glittered.

I made a little tag by scanning the title page of the book, reducing, and then printing it.

Happy day!

Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
(Through the Looking Glass, Chapter 5) 

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
