<span style="color: #660000;"><i>This will be short but sweet... Lots of pics & little talk! I was in a craft fair here in Lebanon at the hospital. Although, it wasn't well attended, I did manage to sell some things to make it worthwhile. Anyway, I wanted to share pictures of my table with you. It was 8 ft long x 1 1/2 ft wide; yep, very narrow. I practiced at home setting up with my thrift store finds as display items on table cloths I had. My hubby painted the two shelves, which were the old 1940's dark brown stain that I had purchased at the thrift store for $4 each. I had the shutters & cup holder from prior shows. I used chalkboards for some of the pricing, instead of tagging every little thing, which worked wonderfully. I made the earring holders to slip on the upside down shutters. The white tree is an estate sale find from a few years ago... $5! The table cloths from our daughter's wedding & the sparkly cover from a piece I got on sale a few years ago.</i></span><br />

<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">I had full intentions of writing a post so many times. I have had a lot going on and decided not to share as it all unfolded. I am recovering from surgery; a fusion on my neck. I am doing well, but computer time was very limited for a few months. I am back at work now, building my hours back up slowly. Anyway, the surgery was a success & I am in so much less pain. I had migraine like headaches daily & they are gone. I am so thankful to be on this side of the recovery process! I wore a neck brace for 2 months, day and night. I feel so free without it!!</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">I have also had quite a year with my father. He almost died last December and made it through, even tho the doctors didn't think he would. He had cancer & radiation, several surgeries, and even recently was not expected to make it through, but he is plugging along. I have made several trips to see him & God has been gracious to give me time I never expected to have to know my Dad in a tender way that was totally unexpected.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Other WONDERFUL news is that we are going to be grandparents to a baby boy due December 26th. We are beside ourselves with joy & anticipation. If you have followed my blog for awhile, you know that we lost our 1st twin grand~daughters at the 28th week gestation. That was the most painful time in my life and of course, our family as a whole. So this will be our 1st grandchild here on this earth, with our two little darlings in heaven. I have been very busy getting things ready for his arrival. We have a baby shower this Saturday that my daughter and I have been preparing for, with help from the other Nana & Auntie.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">I have been busy making my bottle brush trees, as well as earrings. I have enjoyed taking my jewelry makin' supplies on camping trips this summer, just having a great time making about 70 pairs of earrings!! Once I started, I got hooked! I had made earrings before, but wire wrapping wasn't coming easy until I saw a video tutorial on Fire Mountain Gems website. That made all the difference!! Now I am a pro...well, not really...but my earrings are so much better now than when I started!!</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">So, in a nutshell, that was a quick update. Here are my trees to share with you. I listed many of them on my Etsy shop which has a link on my sidebar. Thank you so much for the new followers & your patience with me. Life is busy for all of us & I appreciate your checking in with me from time to time.</span></i><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><i>I am busy working on bottle brush trees & my table is covered in them. I need to get them done for my Etsy shop. Time is not slowing down for me! I would share a pic of my trees thus far, but our new camera got stolen. I am a little disgruntled, so say the least. We went camping a few weeks ago, & it was taken out of our truck. Since we bought it because our old camera was only taking fuzzy pictures, I don't have a camera. I am borrowing one from my sis~in~love, but haven't started to use it yet. </i></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><i>First is this little one the hung on the mailbox for cards. Both banners are made from linen fabric on cardboard banner shape and stenciled letters that I filled in with paint (I didn't want the stencil open areas). I did some line work on the edges & around the letters. A little bling on each. Both are hung on jute... this pic I took in my dining room...</i></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><i>I have several banners I made for our daughter's wedding. I will admit that, if I had time, I could get carried away making banners! LOL! They are fun to make and worth the effort. The first one I made was "Mr & Mrs". Elizabeth didn't know what she wanted to use it for, just that she wanted one. So, of course, as her Mom, I made one!! </i></span><i style="color: #666666;">Ultimately, it ended up on the bride & groom's table. </i><span style="color: #666666;"><i> After googling & checking out pinterest, I decided on this design for the banner...not totally like any one I looked at online, but my own version. (more details below) </i></span><br />
<i style="color: #666666;"><br /></i>
<i style="color: #666666;">The wind was blowing the table runner but had to let it go... out of my control! Anyway, the table is an old door found on Craigslist, with a pine frame that was distressed to look like barnwood; made by TJ (the groom) & my hubby. The letter "B" was cut from plywood after our daughter drew out the pattern. It is distressed with black, then white paint, which didn't dry...so then it got scraped & sanded to this look. The two heart wreaths are from clearance at Valentine's day made from wood roses. They were another find that we didn't know what we would do with them, but worked into the theme beautifully. They were 70% off at about $3.50 each.</i><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="color: #666666;"><i>The banner is made from cardboard banner pieces I got from Craft Warehouse, covered in linen fabric with glue, antique lace across the top with hand~sewn gray pearls on the points of the lace, the letters were large cardboard letters I had & covered in a deep gray paper, edged with a glitter pen design, and then a gray jewel was added to the bottom of each triangle. They were hung with black leather.</i></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><i>So that is one banner... There will be more in my next post. Hope you are having a great week. I am starting to get some things in my Etsy store. It isn't a quick process, but nice to get the items listed. There are trees, spools, glitter, and sweet little containers waiting for me on my work table... Just need some time to work on them. It is funny how little time I have since I am working full time outside the house! We are having lots of rain & wind here. What is it like in your neck of the woods??</i></span><br />

<i><span style="color: #e06666;">Can summer really be over? I have been so busy that my blog has suffered from lack of posts & that is ok... to a point! I left you hanging for months & now is the time to jump back in. Please forgive me for not following up with you sooner.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">Five months ago, our youngest, our only daughter, Elizabeth, got engaged to TJ. On September 14, 2013, they wed in a beautiful ceremony in Sisters, Oregon at a venue called Shepherdsfield. As you can imagine, it has been a whirlwind of activity making things and preparing for the big day. Since Elizabeth lives in Redmond, about 2 1/2 hours away from Lebanon, we have made many phone calls, texts, and emails getting all the planning done; plus the numerous trips back & forth working on things together. Of course, I would have it no other way & neither would our daughter. We work well together & love creating; each of us has our favorite crafting mediums which is a win~win. So for the next few posts I will be sharing the special touches that we made to make her wedding day unique to her & TJ. Isn't that what it is all about? Each wedding should be significant to the couple.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">So I will share a sneak peek in this post & hopefully have a little more time to write more in the next. My life has been very busy with the wedding and working. I got a new job on June 20th which ended up being full~time covering another person on medical leave. She returns tomorrow & my schedule will adjust. It ended up being a blessing due to wedding costs, but definitely limited my time creating. I think I have been in OVER~DRIVE!! LOL! I have hardly taken time to breath! But it was all worth it! </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">So here is my first pic to share with you...Remember those vintage canning jars??</span></i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_TCP3CENz_g28GSyrCyv4pMcANff9JOi50sEUIi8uP4S7R6-NJG4bZ9xCU5FuyhS5LIhdvBKQM13P4VWEa2gDGxenOSOYKpUd42pbZfrHBTFBYUocgBkngnvXgVr4k_0ndwxX_0sxaios/s1600/16-649.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_TCP3CENz_g28GSyrCyv4pMcANff9JOi50sEUIi8uP4S7R6-NJG4bZ9xCU5FuyhS5LIhdvBKQM13P4VWEa2gDGxenOSOYKpUd42pbZfrHBTFBYUocgBkngnvXgVr4k_0ndwxX_0sxaios/s400/16-649.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">These were the table centerpieces. This is a quick photo I took just before the ceremony. Believe me, I was rushing around to get some photos & didn't get all I wanted but you get the idea. I fought the urge to primp things...hard to do! </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">Have a fantabulous rest of your week & always remember what is important in your life... </span></i><br />
<i><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">Sometimes you have to let your version of perfection go, so you can see others blossom.</span></i><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><i>Hi Everyone~</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><i>I joined up with Avon a few weeks ago & haven't really been trying too hard. I wanted to get some products for myself... don't tell anyone!! Anyway, I have been using some really great lotions, shower gels, and lately bug guard. I can't keep it to myself any longer! I love these products & I will let you know as I use them what are my favorites.</i></span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"><i>Today I am sharing the "Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Towelettes". We went camping over last weekend at Green Peter in Oregon, just an hour away from home and had a wonderful time, including some fishing. I caught two, which was so fun! The campground was rustic & quiet; I'm sure that in a couple of weeks it will be crowded, so it was a great time to go for us. The weather was warm, around 80 degrees and a little humid. It was prime breeding for the mosquitoes! I happen to be one of those that those little creatures love... sweet blood or something like that!! LOL! I had brought the </i></span><span style="color: #351c75;"><i>"Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Towelettes" to try. I was so impressed, as well as my hubby. It was as if we had an invisible shield around us by about 6 inches. Some of our kids came on Saturday & I watched the mosquitoes hover over my daughter~in~love's head, but never get any closer. I was amazed! The scent is nice and light & the product isn't sticky. The towelette covered two people for us, instead of just one. I guess it depends on how much clothing you have on! It lasted over 6 hours. So that is my review. If you are interested in this product, you can click <a href="http://cmorris0636.avonrepresentative.com/">HERE</a> or go to my link on the top of my sidebar to order. The item # is 045-714 @ $12.99 for the 16 package or for a pack of 8 it is $6.99 (item # 269-562). In the Avon Campaign # 11, there are several products in the Skin~So~Soft Bug Guard line that are on sale. Check out pages 3~11 in the main catalog. Any questions, just email me or comment on this post.</i></span><br />

They positively glowed in the sunlight & cast shadows on the rest of the table. There are 32 of the beauties. We have plans for them, but alas that is for another post! </i></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><i>If you haven't visited Laurie's blog, you need to! She is such a talented artist and I am sooo glad I met her through our blogs. I live in the same town that she used to live in... a little town, mind you. It is a small world indeed. I know that if we lived close to each other, we would be more than blogging friends! Anyway, she makes these lovely charms that she handpaints then puts between glass. I was beyond happy when she sent me two for Christmas representing my two little angel grand~daughters. So now I will let the pictures speak for themselves...</i></span><br />

I sewed on the pearls to the bottom of the vintage handmade lace and made the dimensional butterflies from 5 layers of different papers including vintage book pages, scrapbook paper, vellum and printed butterflies. I added a swarovski crystal to the corner sun with vintage buttons & a doily. This represents the butterflies fluttering to heaven. It is hard to see that there is dimension to the added rays from the sun and the corner scrollwork. </i></span><br />

I am always walking around with glitter on my face, etc, etc... Does anyone else have that "problem"?? It must be my sparkling personality! I wanted to get more done by now but too many things going on in my life this year and so I will let it go... Whatever gets done, gets done...whatever doesn't, doesn't! There is always next year to get all the things whirling in my head made, right? Hmmmm, I think I say that every year! Are there ever enough hours in a day?</i></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><i>My hubby finished working on a cabinet I got at <a href="http://treasuresfromtheheartgifts.blogspot.com/">Barb's Vintage Marketplace</a> show (this is a link to her blog) on August 4th. The price was right ($69) but it was a little too shabby for me and needed a<strike> little</strike> a lot of TLC. My dear hubby worked on it by cutting down one leg to match the other one that had a missing chunk, redoing the window caulking, adding some trim work to even the front, new hinges, and then lotsa sanding & white paint in an eggshell finish. We then added the toile fabric to the inside of the window. I am thrilled with it and our Keurig coffees & teas are at home inside, along with some recipe books.</i></span><span style="color: #4c1130;"><i> <span style="color: #741b47;">I didn't get any good pictures beforehand of the cabinet, but trust me...it is a vast improvement! </span></i></span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;"><i>It is really hard to get a good picture that shows you the details, but at least you can get the idea. I painted first on canvas in several layers, the background in neutral and blue hues, then adding some texture to the upper right in streaks along with white and more neutral paint to symbolize rays. I added some white, champagne metal, and more neutral paint by stamping and handpainting swirls and dots. I sprinkled some glitter on the rays for some sparkle. It is vintage lace with pearls sewed on the bottom, vintage buttons, and more vintage laces, and a large vintage swarovski crystal from the 1940's on another vintage button and scrollwork piece on the top. I made the butterfly with pages from a book, a butterfly clipart, and butterfly cutout from textured paper and wire curled with pearls for the body. It has been so nice to be creating again and particularly painting again, although this is completely different than any painting style I have done. It is totally experimental! I will try to post again soon since I have been sporatic in blogging. I have so much to share!</i></span><br />

We enjoyed every minute and I am so thankful that we got the time to get away to celebrate and be together. I took loads of pictures and thought I would share one with you. This is in Yachets (pronounced Ya-hots), south of Newport. The pink flowers just added such a pretty touch of color to the ocean & greenery. Thank you for all the sweet well wishes for our anniversary.</i></span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><i>Have a wonderful 4th of July everyone. What are your plans? We will be spending some time tomorrow, the 3rd, with some family we haven't seen in many years. It will be fun to catch up and visit. Our neighborhood celebrates the 4th with lotsa fireworks in the street and a BBQ. It is pretty crazy, but fun. But most of all, I am thankful for the freedom we have in the United States, that many fought for, died for, and continue to sacrifice for, each and every day. My youngest sister is in Afghanistan and I am so proud of her. It reminds me that our freedom isn't free, it is something to value and appreciate. Happy Independence Day!</i></span></div>
