Random Thoughts

PhotobucketI love creating , it's something i can't help but do ! Every night after the little ones are in bed I am off to my studio for some creating! And I love how this turned out, made on a vintage sheet music cover , vintage paris labels, vintage everything! Crepe paper, trims,crochet and millinery flowers, even this sweet little vintage handsewn silver sequined star. I was watching Antique Roadshow the other night and I seen some old early 1900's maybe even earlier soldiers medals and one had this exact star on it! I was thinking I have a few of those!
I also was delighted to receive my apron in the mail from Apronolgy , It now hangs in my laundry room window and I do wear it, because it makes me feel pretty!

I picked this pretty tin up this past weekend at a yard sale and now it will be pretty storage in my studio~ The lid has real pretty chippy paint of what was a pretty robins egg blue. Just love those little details!I am also working on details to throw my sister a baby shower, does anyone have any suggestions, I have not thrown one in so long or even been to one in years ! Maybe some cute homemade invitations ?? Chocolate cake?

What a pretty collage! I think it's wonderful that you make time for yourself to create. I think I'd go insane if I didn't take time to create!

I love all the goodies you shared. :)

I'm positive the baby shower for your sister will be GoRgEoUs because you are planning it! :D You have to take pictures for us to see. Have you thought about making a diaper cake? Cute, and definitely useful later. :o)
