colorful things

I've been here working on some deadlines...and I wanted to say hello so no one would think I had disappeared. I am accumulating my crafting items. I have lots of ideas and not much time. I might be able to make some things for my niece for her wedding favors and gift bags for out-of-towners coming to her weddings...but that's a year away so I need to get practicing to come up with some ideas for her to see what she might like.


Here is my craft table and the shelves the husband installed last week. I got a nice true light lamp, and it has a plug/outlet in the base so I can plug something into it if I need to (convenient).

I am slowly collecting things I will use to make cards. I love the look of the alcohol-based markers and the colored pencils. I got a great deal on some used markers on eBay. And then I used a 40 percent off coupon on the Prismacolor pencils at Michaels. I can't wait to use them. Shapening all the pencils...makes my hand hurt since I'm not using an electric sharpener.


Here are the twins! They sure are growing fast. I think identical twins should have some kind of tattoo placed on them so that the people that don't see them very often can tell them apart! Then the tattoo could fade after a year or two. One of these days I will know which one is which.


I have a lot going on in the next few days, so I'll see you all next week!
