E-6000 is our Friend . . . 


What do you do when you find a bunch of little miscellaneous glass pieces in your garage?  Well, of course, you go to the Salvation Army and other thrift stores in search of even more little miscellaneous pieces!  Here are some photos of candlesticks and totems that are made from wonderful mini-finds that caught my eye and are simply glued with good old E-6000.  Who knew recycling could be so fun?  I know these will make appearances at my annual spring garden party.

(Sorry about the less-than-ideal photography!)

Hello, February!

Took most of the day, but I've just figured out how to embed a video into my blog!  This is a major accomplishment since I didn't even know how to create a blog 4 weeks ago and didn't know how to create a video this morning.  I am feeling a bit smug.

This Ledger Journal is a work in progress.  I found the ledger at a favorite store in Solana Beach and couldn't resist buying it.  The more I played in it, the more I fell in love with the texture and color of the paper.  The journal is almost half-way complete, and I'm already worried about what I'll do when it's all filled up.

Somehow, when I uploaded the video, the typeface changed and an end slide was missing.  I regret that because I'd like to give credit to the musicians of one of my favorite songs.  "Life is Better with You" is performed by Michael Franti and Spearhead.

Let me know what you think of my first attempt at movie-making . . .
