creative fun & a peak at prom...
Dollarama isn't my favourite place to shop, I hate the smell...I hate the lights... but lots of people love it! It's like Frency's, not my cup of tea...I do like antique stores though, so figure that one out! Anyway, our bookclub challenge from Debbie last month was to alter this little Dollarama tray...
Oh, that would be our Scrapbooking Book club called Pages of 8+2: we don't even "do" books any more (& I'll save that story for another day!) You know how sometimes you just get inspired to create & things start coming together & you really like the finished project?
I had THREE of those moments since the Clearly Me album!!! That's always a bonus because you know, sometimes we just get stuck with our creativity... It's not like I don't have a lot to do but I am loving my creative space & some of the new products are just so darn fun. Our Bookclub is also in the process of creating cirlce journals ( & that will be fun when they are all finished!!) I had Debbies this month & here's what I did for her...
In case you Don't know Debbie, she is obsessed with Butterflies...I used the Tattered Angels on the prima flowers & it is amazing!!! The best part is using them instead of collecting them... I am a collector of things & one thing I like to collect is coffee bags, & I love trying new coffee, so now I have a little spot for them!
THIS really excited me (OK I'm crazy but have you seen the artwork on some of these bags?). My plan is to document all the varieties of coffee I try at home right in this little baby! OK!!! I REALLY SHOULD be posting about PROM last night ...The dresses were spectacular & it's such a fairy tale night for the Grads... I took lots of pictures but only a few turned out...I am hoping my BFF or my daughter has some better ones!!! Here are a couple!
Alex is home safe, so it is a Happy day :o)
yea for Alex, yea for you, whoo hoo for book club and the joys it brings us
