5.29.11 ... scout's graduation card creation

i have always wanted one of these sticker kits but never could see my way to paying full price. then i miraculously spied this one, still sealed and as new, at the thrift bin store which charges by the pound, so basically, this was free. i loved that it was a washington d.c. theme but had no idea what i would ever do with it. but the next day i put two and two together and now i know it was a sign that i found it in all that crazy chaos. so i shared my basic idea with scout and she created this fabulous card. i am sharing it today because val has seen it now so we're safe on the surprise end of things, and because my project for today is a two day affair and i don't want to post photos until it is complete. so come on back tomorrow for that one and i hope you enjoy this one as much as i did.

love it. we just finished watching the 1941 film 'meet john doe' and loved it. it is my first gary cooper film. no idea how that is possible but there you have it. it's on netflix instant and we highly recommend it.  

ps.  i just learned that scout wrote a review on her tumbler and it is so enjoyable!  you really should read it.  you will smile.  i guarantee it.  go HERE

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

1.28.11 ... tazo tea monopoly property cards look recycled bookmark

we took a drive this afternoon because it was such a beautiful day.  besos came with us.  she was ridiculously happy as always.  car cat.  it turned out there was a meet up of a vintage car club at the hamburger place and we enjoyed that scenery while we sat outside under the trees eating our late lunch.  scout took some photos.  i am sure they will be fabulous.  

as for today's creating, i worked on a zine page - i have five more to go - which left me with no photo op so when we returned from our outing, i had to think fast before i lost the light.  i've been saving these tea papers for a while.  ok, ok - confession time - evan's been saving them for me.  i think they are so pretty.  but i had no idea what i could do with them.  when i spied them in my stash, during my frantic search for inspiration, i noticed how appealing these three colors look together and then they struck me as resembling monopoly property cards so i lined them up to sew a bookmark and as i reached for my sewing machine i had to move this beautiful bird collage i had trimmed from a magazine and set aside when i was gathering pieces to turn into stickers.  anyway --- look how wonderfully it coordinates with these tea bag papers.  so voila! it became the reverse side.  

we just finished watching the joan rivers documentary on netflix instant and loved it.  earlier we were viewing some of  jake shimabukuro's you tube performance pieces.  amazing.  there's two recommendations for you all.  and if you haven't watched parks & rec this season with rob lowe you honestly haven't lived well lately.  you can rectify that by watching online.  hilarious and smart.  just like some of my favorite family members.  

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