Yes! it's been a week, already!

but i am back! hehe tonight i just wanted to share a few older photos and how i digitally and manually (on paper) changed them. i hope you enjoy! :)
When my honey and i went to see the Queen Mary ship, as you can see, we took pictures of each other standing by the big girl, and i thought it would be nicer to display one of us together. so i took a scissors to the hard copy that i had of me and clipped me out and glued into the arm of my sweetie! lol

here is a better view of the end result:

well, i thought this was so clever, the next photo (when we went to Arizona) i took to my photoshop program and did it digitally!
Here is my sweetie, posing like i was there:

here i am:

and viola, we are together! lol so silly!

and to end today's short post, here is another photo of us at the old Ren Faire.
my son hated that it was a bit chilly and he had to wear socks for the morning, but he still has TEN toes! lol

Tomorrow i am off to see the dr. again about this flu that just won't let me go. it seems it might have settled now into my chest, please wish me luck that it hasn't turned into pnuemonia (or any form of it). i will surely let ya know, as soon as i am able. til then have an AWESOME day! hugs :)

Good Morning!

It is so nice to see you on this bright Sunday morning! And YES, we are almost done with most of last year's bargains! Yay!! i really fell slack last year while still working on my husband's computer, sheesh!
Well, since we are here, let's begin!
i thought this pinecone turkey was really pretty clever! and only a buck too!

Plant stand was only 50 cents! WohOO!

This basket was filled with sewing items and yarn and was only a dollar, as well!

And i think we have come to the conclusion (of what i have uploaded anyways, lol) to our past bargains! (doing a dance!hehe)
so that leaves plenty of time to share other stuff! Aren't you glad? well, i sure am because i have been wanting to share this stuff for quite some time too! (so much to share, so little time!!)
Just before we moved from Illinois to California, i was JUST beginning to do paper scrapbooking and this is one of my pages.

Yes, we use to do Ren faires a few times a year and even had our youngest loving to go with us, it was such FUN, but back to the page.
the following photos are a few close up of the elements used. i hope you like it! :)
here is the tag, as it is in its place or hidden.

When you pull the tag out:
