When I got home from work yesterday, there was a really nice surprise awaiting me in my email inbox...I won the final giveaway of the week at
French Poppy's (a/k/a Teresa Sheeley) blog. I love her whimsical art...and it was hard to decide which print to choose. I can't wait to receive it!
Today's list of things to do is fun stuff. I followed a link in Dawn's ~The Feathered Nest~ blog and ended up at a new blog
Mind Wide Open.
There's a challenge involved, featuring a required image and using it in any way you desire...sewing, paper crafting, collage...and the first entry is due by midnight tomorrow evening. The submissions will be posted and voted on. I've never done anything like this before, so I just decided to jump in and do it. I worked on one idea last night, and may go in a different direction today.
That, along with lunch out with my daughter should fill my day pleasantly.
This is my entry for the contest at Mind Wide Open. I've assembled it in one of those Martha Stewart presentation boxes that Michael's had on clearance last summer. It has a plexiglas lid with a beautiful scrolled outline. It's also impossible to photograph with the lid on.
I had my first adventure in burning paper edges. Fortunately, I was standing over the kitchen sink while I did this.
Everytime I hear the word remembrance, I think of rosemary...the herb of remembrance.
Assorted items from the goodie drawer found their way into this project.
Voting will commence after all of the images have been uploaded on July 8, and continue until midnight July 14. I'm really glad I participated in this contest; usually when I make something/anything--I give it away or gift it. I'm keeping this one. Edited to add...voting has commenced on the 32 entries in this contest. One vote per person; click HERE to cast your vote!
