7.30.11 ... flower bookmark

hello friends! i was up early this morning and made this little sweetheart to go along with a flowery item. i enjoyed combining doodling with my coffee time.

i used some new colored pencils i found yesterday at fred. they are actually vintage and so much nicer than the new ones. they were all sharpened, too! it was a very cool find because they are the brand i use. but a lot more colors than i have because i can only get one or two at a time and was adding slowly. this find was 23 pencils! woo hoo.

this is a section of the recycled card i made to go along with the purchase.

have a lovely sunday. i'll be back with another edition so don't go too far.

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon

LoVe is what brings us ToGetHeR

Hello 2010. I'm a little late to the party and have some catching up to do. I have plenty of photos and will start with these. Our holidays were lovely. Hope yours were, too. I went on a magnet making spree and enjoyed myself tremendously. Here is one set I made for Jon Cody and Val ~ our family newlyweds. How adorable is this? I've been saving the image and accompanying text forever. They are from a very old Maurice Sendak illustrated children's book. I added the red accents and used a collage technique on both magnets.

I love the serendipity of this ... the photo background is our Christmas card from ... Val and Jon Cody! How perfect is it? It's a sign. I hope they will enjoy this teeny tiny gift with the great big heart for many years to come in good health and happiness.

I used my new iPhone ~ a.k.a pony ~ to shoot a fun photo of the ephemeral element of Christmas. I wish the tree could last all year long. I guess that's what makes it all the more special. I'll be back soon with more of my handmade Christmas magnets soon. Peace to you all in this new year. Full of promise and surprise. Here's to a delightful adventure into twenty ten.
