another year gone!

Wow where has the year gone? really is just flew by!

Many New Year's Resolutions but the one that comes to mind is the No Fabric or Yarn purchases will be made in 2010! my friend came over to get me orgainzed for the new year and needless to say there has to be a round two! not all could be done in one day! I also have over 1500 zippers~ but in my defense I got a great deal! What to do with all those zippers!

This Christmas I wrapped all the gifts in paper that I got when I received a package~ then I stamped the presents with a star stamp I carved. It turned out better than I was intinally thinking when I sat down to wrap everything I thought for sure it was going to be a getto Christmas! Here's some pictures but they might be a bit dark~ taken with my phone!.

I also had this idea to make some brooch flowers from newspaper~ seemed like it was all going to work out in my head but was more of a challenge than I thought. I ended up putting resin all over the flower for stability. In the center is a bottle cap (used of course). I need to try it again things never turn out exactly how I envision the first time I should know this by now!

 

Tonight I whipped up some cobra bracelets, making boiled peanuts and making a list of projects that are in my mind~ must get them out before I forget about them!

Happy New Year!

I hate spending money on gift tags they seem to be so expensive for what they r so here's my last minute idea. I have this puncher that looks like a little frame so I just grabbed some junk mail & went to town but they seemed a little bland so I added the dots to funk it up~ whoot whoot!

Album Jewelry

Everyone seems to be doing it so of course I have to try it too~ reminds me I bought some oven gloves but I'm not sure what I did with them.. Hmm.....

So they say to put the album in the oven and depending on the year of the album matters to but see I forgot what year that was by the time I got to the melting part so I think mine came out pretty cool and don't look like an album at all which for most is the point to look like a record but that seems to be how I work!
