Bits & Pieces

What did the teacher think?

Too funny.  I wonder if the teacher laughed or was appalled? I think it's funny but I hope this isn't an omen of what is to come.  :o)

Using Buttons

I really like the use of buttons on this layout.  Were they just glued on or did you use wire?  I have a button hole punch that I've never used - not really sure what to do with it which stinks because I really like the look of buttons on a page.  Any hints?

Reversible Aprons

These reversible aprons are really cute.  They look more like skirts or sarongs though.  I really dig the material they chose to use.

Banana Muffins

Recycled aluminum foil

Using recycled aluminum foil is a cool idea.  Anything we can do to help the environment.  Usually the good stuff is more expensive which is why the greater number of people don't ever switch.

Ten Geekiest Hobbies

Luckily none of my hobbies were on the list either.  I would have thought "Trekkie" would have been at least #2 if not #1.

Glass Art

These pics are a must see.  The art created out of glass is AMAZING to say the least.  On a side note, I'd like to know how to take pics that good without seeing a glare from my flash.

Tulip Festival

I am SO jealous.  We've been in Michigan now for 11 years and I still haven't been to Holland to see the tulips.  :o(  Your pictures are amazing - the colors are great.  Thanks for sharing.

Energize your space

As Nancy figured out for herself, adding color can really change the energy of a space.  White walls are hardly ever effectve in helping creativity.  If you are feeling stale in your space, think about moving things around.  You may find that changing up your space can serve you better.  Take a look at what you have and see if the way you are organizing your stuff is working for you.
