Playin' Hookie,,,,and Playing Around.....Bird Ornaments, Etc.

Well, Last nite, I still felt pretty crummy, and I called my dear Friend and Co-worker. Rita who'd volunteered to work for me at Joyworks. Last nite I was tired, had a nasty sinus headache, and quite frankly was waiting for the "other Shoe to drop."  Yesterday, I felt like I had a fever and well,,,,,thought I was going to hit a Wall of sorts today. . .

So now? I feel like I was playing Hookie! It never came back/restarted/got worse! I was a bit tired, but that was it....Zip, Nadda, Nothing! Maybe, staying home and resting DID help, but I feel like I was fakin' it! Only truly Friday, I wasn't! And yesterday, I had a headache and felt congested and ***Ta-DA!*** I feel normal. (Okay, as NORMAL as I ever feel!)

So today? I Crafted and waited for the Congestion to come back, the fatique to set in,,,,ONLY ....Didn't happen! I DID have weird dreams last night and where is that cute "Dennis" Guy that was in my dreams and sweet and  totally understood my crafting Mayhem.....??? I never dream about men anymore,,,let alone  ones that have a NAME!  And, don't get your knickers in a knot, all he did in the dream was kiss me, and I thought he was kinda sweet.....And I woke up and thought, yeah, well, it was all fun and games till my Golden Retriever Kodi was stealin' the covers!  But, if you DO know someone that is a cross between Tom Selleck, Val Kilmer and Bruce Willis and is Single,,,well, hey! Get back to me on that...

So, I literally "pulled" myself out of bed- because the DOGS were laying on my sheets and blankets and got up and started playing with some new stuff........Lulu gave me a BIG ole' Jar of Diamond Dust when we were at Silver Bella......And I kind of tested it on some of the Wallpaper Scraps I'd brought home from Hidden Treasures in Iowa,,,,,,and had fun making a few things.........

I'd won a Bird Stamp in my first Class at Silver Bella.....One stamp for the Bird, a second for the wings.....So, this morning?  I stamped some birds on Ivory Cardstock,,,cut them out and adhered them to the Vintage Wallpapers.....Some of these papers were extremely fragile,,,,but they seemed to "like" the humidity of a bit of Modge Podge when adhered. Coordinating Wings, ,,,,,,,,,a bit of Lulu's Diamond Dust and on some, "Martha's" Gold glitter Edges.......and Voila! Vintage Bird Ornaments........

Close up,,,,,,yeah, Hush, I'm asking Santa for a NEW CAMERA! And I hope his Helpers give lessons!

But you get the Gist.......Ahem, I hope!

A few more of the "Flock."

I also had fun making this "mini" Cake, using some of the Wallpaper I got in Iowa and experimenting with the Diamond Dust,,,,,,,,some of these papers are SO  fragile, it was certainly a challenge, But I simply cannot remember when I didn't love Pinks and Greens,,,,,,and this was just Fun to make!

Pink and Green Box.....

Not sure whether I'm going to keep this one, or sell it. I just had a lot of fun working with the old Wallpaper, adding some Diamond Dust, Trims and Flowers, tulle and trims.......Fun to make~!

Hope you all,,,,,,,Ya'll, had a GREAT Thanksgiving and a GREAT weekend! Check out my sidebar for some Giveaways from some of my DEAREST blogfriends!

Hugs, Love and a BIG old Bus on the Cheek!
