Lacey's 21st Birthday


Hi
My darling grand daughter turns 21 this month.  How did she get so old so fast?
Computer generated bicycle cardstock and I added the shapes with personal messages.  Popped it up on brown cardstock; lined the envelope with the same paper and added the young lady on the bike on the inside and added a personal poem.  No, she isn't a bicycle enthusiast but she meets life head on like a bike going full tilt downhill and always with a smile on her face.
Have a Blessed day.

Belly dancer

Hi
My friend who turned 80 last month has been an avid belly dancer for a few years.  She took it up when she became of retirement age. 
The dancer is popped up on pop dots and matted onto Whisper White cardstock and then placed on Dollar Store holographic cardstock.  This pic was taken under very cloudy skies and so the colors do show up but they change a lot as the card moves.  There are even some mauves in  it.
The sentiment goes above the dancer. 
I would have liked to have a wobbler behind the dancer but the wire I had didn't lend itself to a decent wobbler.  :(
Have a Blessed day.

I feel like a princess-----My bathroom reno



Hi
Just a short note to show you what 3 amazing people did in 10 hours.  My daughter and her fiance and my youngest grandson came to visit for the long week end.  They brought with them paint, and all painting tools and accessories.  Also towels, towel bars, shower curtain, light fixtures.  The walls had been stripped for a very long time and I just did not have the energy to do anything with them.  They cleaned the walls in preparation for painting.  It took 3 coats.  Even the vanity was a dark brown and they painted it.  The toilet had been wobbling for a year and they made it nice and sturdy again.
The light fixtures don't show up as clearly as I would have liked but they are 3 lights on each bar.
The picture above the toilet is a picture that a friend had taken and made into a gorgeous picture for me years ago.  Also that is the color white the whole bathroom is done in.
  We had a lovely day out looking at one of our favorite spots in the mountains.  Unfortunately it was part of the June flood and what we knew as a lovely pond is now strewn with trees and stuff and where there was a pond there are several rivers.
It was an amazing and busy time from Thursday late afternoon to noon on Sunday.
Have a Blessed day.
