Altered Bottle

After seeing many talented ladies show altered bottles on there blogs, i thought id have a go at it myself -- im quite happy with how my first attempt turned out, and i already have more ideas for the bottles sitting here. Im picturing feathers, bling, glitter and charms!

Fairy Frame

I made this fairy frame for a special pals Birthday -- her birthday isnt till October but im giving it to her tomorrow at work, cuz i might not see her before her birthday, and i really want to see her reaction. Its a paper mache frame that i painted white, then swiped gold paint over the top. Old sheet music was put on the back of the frame with a sweet ArtChix Girl Fairy stuck on top... the wording was cut from various old books that i have collected over the past year, the rose is a paper rose from my stash, painted to match and the ribbons and crystals are bits and peices from my stash. I simply adore her, and hope that my pal does too....

Pictures of the New Car

*~New Car~*

Today is very exciting!! My poor hubby has been driving a Station Wagon ( not cool...apparently) for the past 2 and a bit years, and it was starting to sound like it was on its last wheel, so instead of pumping money into it to get it ship shape for rego in under a month, we decided to upgrade.... to a 2005 Ford XR6, it has all the bells and whistles, so im told. Im yet to see it in real life, but that all changes this afternoon, Hubby is packing Obie up and picking me up from work, to take me for a drive in the new car lol - he is so excited, its a bit cute to see/hear actually. I will have to post a picture of it over the weekend ( for anyone who wants to see it), by the time i get home tonight it will be too dark.

Coffee anyone?

I was working on a Coffee Filter album last night, so i thought id share a few pictures. Ive never used a coffee filter before so, it was a fun medium to work with.

Just popping in to wish my Hubby a Happy Anniversary - we got married 3 years ago today!! At the gorgeous Chapel Hill Retreat - http://www.chapelhillretreat.com.au/ A glorious day, lots of tears, smiles and laughs.

Love You Lots Babe xo Id also like to wish my good old Dad a Happy Birthday, old bugger turns 49 today... So Happy Birthday Dad! His off work this week, he had ANOTHER operation on his finger, so he is recovering at home, and playing with his number 1 grandson.

Spring has Sprung

The Call of Spring Norman Schlichter When spring begins Again to light Our happy world With colors bright, The robins all come Back to see How beautiful The earth will be, With crocus gold, And daffodils Lighting meadows, Fields, and hills; With leaves of green And tulips gay, And birds arriving Every day.
