Dears, Deliveries and Deadlines!

Shew! This has been a busy and yet FUN week! This morning, I was wide awake at 5:30 and got up and grabbed my glue gun,,,,and started making Headbands, hairclips and ponytail embellishments......My stylist, and Salon manager for Tom Walker's Hair Salon is having a Holiday Open House and "Hair Extravaganza" (my expression, not theirs) on December 7th and Ericka asked me to make  some goodies for their event........



Just an example of a few,,,,,,,,,I have tons more for the Event........Headbands, clips, elastics, with Vintage bits and pieces........



Then, I took a "Clue" from some hat headbands we had from Midwest that we were selling  in Joyworks and a cute top hat that Amy Powers wore in Omaha at Silver Bella and Came up with these..........


Fushia and Gold,,,,,,,Leopard, Creme and Gold.........Should I put "Happy New Years" "Paper Ribbon"  Banners on these, or leave as is??? Let me know what YOU think!.......


Vintage Pink Velvet and Gold.....(Yeah, I know, you can ALMOST tell from my photos!)

After Crafting for a bit, I cleaned up (okay, am I the ONLY one that stays in her "jammies" during a crafting Chaos Session???)  Changed my clothes, threw my "face on" and fixed my hair and headed off to lunch with my BF, Laura- again, NOT a blogger, NOT a Crafter,,,,she wears a suit, either Black, Navy or Grey. And, truly? I love her to pieces! I think at times, our friendship keeps ME grounded,,,and I in return, give HER a bit of Whimsey. We went to the newly relocated "Collectors Choice" here in town  for lunch, and then.........


She headed to Seattle for a Real Estate appointment and I headed to Kim and Luanne's Holiday Open House of "Nest and Garden!" Too Cute!

They have this older cabin/house on their property and created the CUTEST vignettes with wonderful crafts!


Kim and Luanne aka......"Nest and Garden" Too cute!


Kim altered this mirror with Sheet Music,,,,which I just Loved! And I saw it done with Wallpaper from the Gal I purchased wallpaper in Iowa.......I want to try this technique! Too fun!

(Jana, my dear friend and Co-worker came through  their open house earlier and apparently took a LOT of photos,,,,,,,,suffice it to say, you'll be able to view them on the JOYWORKS  Blog
http://joyworks-shopgirl.blogspot.com/ Her pics will be a LOT better than mine!)

After Crafting, Lunching, and Visiting with Luanne and Kim at the open house, I came home and my Wallpaper had arrived from Iowa! Stop it! Ackkkkkkk!    Here, in closing, are a few images.......


I think I'm going to use a couple chunks of this one in my French Cabinet.........I'll keep you posted on that!



I absolutely fell in love with this Vintage French themed paper......It's actually more Celadon Green background........Gorgeous! Let me know if you'd like a scene/panel or two.........


How pretty is THIS? Love it! I bought other stuff,,,,,,,but I'll leave it at this.....it give you a taste!

Shew...Busy, fun and craft filled Friday! I'm sure we're going to be "Hopping" at Joyworks this weekend! Have a GREAT weekend! Oh My Stars!! Is Thanksgiving REALLY this next week?

Hugs, Love and a "Big Ole" Bus on the Cheek to "Ya'll!" (in honor of the Southern Congregation!)

  3. I'll be playing catchup in my studio today as well but I'm already dressed. A little too cool for jammies out there LOL LOVE those headband hats. OMG think what you could do for Halloween next year? I don't think they need any paper ribbon - I immediately thought New Year's Eve when I saw the one with the animal print. Great job!

  10. I love those little hair things you got going there --I love wearing hats, hairbands, etc. Got it from my mom who now wears a crystal headband every day(She's 78)! Wish I lived closer so I can make art with you in my jammies too. Yes, I often create in my jammies - day or night! And I Am thinking you got some wonderful wall paper girl and it has soooo many possibilities.Later...Lori B from Chapel Hill
