a shiny bookmark and a Valentine atc . . .

First, let me show you the shimmer:

nice and frosty looking, right?  

Now tell me, do you like curling up with a good book on a cold winter day?

(She's from the Relish Reading set at Rogue Redhead Designs)

This young lady does, but she tried to carry too many books, and now 

 they're all blowing out of her hands!

And here is a little atc Valentine--

I have to tell you, it feels good to be making stuff again . . .

So maybe a few challenges:
with the shimmery blue bookmark:
Rogue Redhead Designs--Winter Blues
Stampotique--challenge 83, New Year's Resolution (read more!)
Drunken Stampers Challenge--all that glitters
Crafty Catz--anything but a card
Dillybeans--bookmark!
It's All About the Vintage--winter feelings

with the atc sized Valentine card:
Frilly and Funkie--follow your muse.  (First time for an atc with a pin full
of charmish stuff attached, and the first atc I made that opens from bottom
to top, if that makes sense!)
Allsorts--flower power
ATCS and cards with attitude--add a tag or sentiment/anything goes
Sparkle and Glitter--anything but a square
Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge--embellish it

 

Happy Valentine's Day!

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not
envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it
is not easily angered, it keeps no record
of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth. It always
protects, always trusts, always hopes,
always perseveres."

Happy Valentine's Day to you all!

I have some hearts to mail to:
Mary Timme
rice
Debra Johnson
Jodi Barone
kimmikat (Susie)
Pandora's Artbox

and one for Lisa, because she deserves it for organizing
the One World One Heart event, yes?

So, yes, I'm sending out seven instead of five, as I
kind of went overboard with the whole felting thing
(due to my compulsive need to stab something??)

Will contact all the peoples with my e-mail address,
so you can send me your addresses, on the morrow.

Show some love today! :)

Added note: Debra, I can't figure out any way to
contact you . . . let me know . . .

heart necklace for Valentine's Day

Here's an example of the cute heart necklace dear Jennifer is
GIVING AWAY at http://mommynecklace.blogspot.com/2008/01/heart-necklace-giveaway.html

Very fun, a little twist on the old ID type thing. Valentine's Day is
ridiculously close at hand, and I still have Christmas-on-the-brain!
Seriously, just got back some pics the other day. Still have a few
lights up inside, and the gingerbread village is still on the mantle.
*sigh*
