7.29.11 ... the last of the pooh packaging escapade

today i gathered things for projects so i didn't get photos. these are the final photos from my pooh magnet package. i sent along this treasured bookmark because the recipient loves cats and is good to them. i hope she enjoys it.

the wrap is simple but i love the way these turned out. today i found some fabric scraps and i plan to start using them as wrap at times. so look forward to that. i am excited to see what i come up with on that front, myself. 

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

7.28.11 ... no use crying over spilled water

well, boys and girls, today we had quite the day. we were gone most of the afternoon and when we got home, i set my giant cup of water on the table and knocked it over a split second later. no idea how. but all of my pretty magazine clippings from yesterday were ruined. so, back to square one. here are the pooh packagings i created the other day. i think they are so adorable. i especially like this next one ...

... because i found this paint chip card with a rainy summer day word theme to match my 'it looks like rain' set. how cute is this?

it is already 10:30 and i still have a lot to do so i shall say good night and ...

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

7.27.11 ... a simple little piglet bookmark

i made this yesterday as part of a pooh magnets sale (in my joonbeam shop) extra surprise. isn't it sweet? the illustration is from a 1947 edition of an a a milne collection. that's all for tonight. i did start another project today but no photos. i was clipping from magazines. this is much cuter. 

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

4.20.11 ... alligators, mini quiche and Pooh bookmark

how was your wednesday, everyone? happy, i hope. i was cutting up a magazine and creating all the this and thats you see in the next two photos when i discovered that, once again, like clockwork, i had to come up with lunch. not my strength. luckily, i remembered this extra pie crust dough i had frozen and we had fresh spinach and green onion so there we had the makings of a sweet little quiche. it was good.

i had some fun with my new alligator stamp. it works so much nicer being mounted on wood. i even used it on bubble envies for my return address and it is great. thanks, again, ev.

i made some circles for future buttons and magnets. i will turn some of the stamped images into home made stickers. i am gathering up a small box full of assorted things so when i make the glue i can paint my stickers all at once.

after lunch i made this recycled bookmark. it's for someone who purchased one of my Pooh magnets sets. i hope she'll enjoy it. it came out a lot sweeter than i envisioned.

and so we all three enjoyed lunch today. and i had a pretty good art day, too. oh - we watched a columbo episode with lunch. it was a good one. about twins who murdered their uncle for his money. love peter falk. 

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

3.7.11 ... eeyore and friends recycled bookmark

i didn't get anywhere near the buttons i started yesterday. who knows where the time goes? not me. but there it went. i did create this serendipitous bookmark today and that was fun. i love it and hope the recipient will too.

it is going along with a purchase of four vintage book illustration magnets. i rifled through the remainder of that file and this was the one and only piece with eeyore so i got lucky.

the green pieces are from a paint color sample. they cover some print on the recycled piece of card stock. then i added a few colored pencil touches. i hope to get back to the word collage buttons tomorrow.

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

2.20.11 ... pooh ephemera magnets

today i made pooh magnet batches. the papers are original, as always - these from a discarded 1942 copy of winnie the pooh and other stories. i named the sets. the one above is a hand colored embellished set named, simply: adventures with pooh

this one, also hand colored accents: april showers - pooh floats

this is one of a set {see group photo below for its mates} called: ho hum. it looks like rain.

this set: pooh thinks. therefore he is.

this is one of a set of five called: isn't it funny how a bear loves honey?

these will all be listed in my joonbeam etsy shop asap.

i fought with the sun today, once again. i did enjoy the process from start to finish, though. this took me most of the day. interruptions included, naturally.

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