Gloria is part of my online art group AAWA. She sent me this and it is AWESOME. I opened it up and just fell in love with it. Thank you Gloria so much

A great mail day

New Tim Holtz rubber stamps. Some really cool skulls for day of the dead art and some library pockets.
A close up of the stamps
whoo hoo my favorite. Toni sent me this package and she has one just like it. We are to on our own do each journal using the items provided we can add but must stay in the same color group. Next month is my turn to pick the project and send the items. We love doing this. I can't wait to get started on it.

And with that they are gone

The birds have flown the coop or nest in this case. All four made it.

New pictures of the Birds.

Here are pictures just taken of the birds. They are just about ready to fly away.

Guess what is only $3.56 cents each????

Did anyone Guess? Copic Markers. Now that we placed our inital order from www.carpediemstore.com we can now get all new copic orders from here on out for $3.56 each. I will be placing an order around June first.
Here is how the order process works.
Carpediem charges an arm and a leg to ship so the more we have going in on the order the cheaper it is....
We all look at the color charts total up how many you want. I will then take the total markers order by each person and divide the shipping by the amount of markers you have ordered. Then you will paypal me your money and i will place the order.
The order comes here and I then will ship them out to you for actual shipping charges
So let's see if I can make sense...

I order 25 markers at 3.56 cents each total marker cost is 89.00
Jeri orders 25 markers at 3.56 each is 89.00
Toni orders 20 Markers at 3.56 cents 71.20
Erica orders 10 markers each $35.60
Total shipping for all the markers is 16.50
Which is .20 cents for each marker so I would pay 5.00 for shipping
jeri would pay 5.00 for shipping
Toni would pay 4.00 for shipping
Erica would pay 2.00 for shipping
From Carpe Diem shipping
Then they would pay the shipping from here... I can send 25 markers for 3.10 so in total instead of Jeri spending a total of 16.00 in shipping (Carpe's cheapest shipping for 10 markers is 12.00)
she is only paying 8.10 saving money. Plus if this is your first order with carpediem the cost of the markers is 3.99
Anway after all that if anyone would like to join in on June's order just let me know. And if you have any questions from this rambling post let me know.

Yeah Copics. if you haven't seen how they work go to my older posts and take a look at my post on how they shade themselves.. I LOVE COPIC

I've been tagged this is funny

I was tagged by Jeri ( see sidebar for her blog) and must name 6 weird things about me...



Here goes



1) I love the following all mixed together Mac and cheese, baked beans and cottage cheese yep mix them all in a bowl and I am in hog heaven

2) I will not, can not, would never ever go barefoot anywhere even a walk on the beach I must have shoes on.

3) I have driven over a million miles in my lifetime

4) I must have a window open even during the winter....... even living in Michigan in the cold as I am clostaphobic ( just a little bit)
5) I read too fast and I mean too fast I can read a book in one day
6) I have a habit of saying " you think" like some people will say you know? I say you think

okay that is weird enough hummmmmmmmmm

At least I wasn't chewing gum

What a day? Let me say that again....What a day
First off I am walking in the parking lot and my feet missed the speed bump so guess who went down? ME ME ME
Broke my glasses, bruised (update hairline fracture) on those two ribs and needed two stiches but I opted for Steri STrips othewise I would have a scar to match my other one.
But hey at least I wasn't chewing gum at the time. The Dr. said I would be in severe pain for two weeks at a minimum not for the head but the ribs. How stupid am I?????
I so wanted to come home tonight and work on my altered book but instead I will be nursing two ribs and popping pain pills.

oiy vey
