A bit of craft fun!

I purchased a new camera this weekend from my sweet friend, Michelle.  I feel a bit lost but I’m working my way through with the simplest of shots…along with some fun craftiness.

crafty fun!

We picked up these paper mache’ boxes at a garage sale Sat. morning and were just itching to make something.  With our craft project, it was fun to put to use a couple of the suggestions that I’ve picked up from Diane recently.  Her recipe for decoupage is equal parts of wallpaper border paste and Elmer’s glue.  I really like how that worked.  The other thing she uses on practically everything is Minwax brown paste wax, which I used on my box.  It gives your project a finished, aged look.

And then…we had too much fun @ Barnes & Noble.

????It just didn’t seem right for this book to be in ‘Religious’ section so we moved it…a little.

I’ve been gone for a few days and I literally got homesick and talked my hubby guy (HG) into coming home a day early. I don’t know if ever in my whole life I’ve been homesick…not even at age 8 for my first year of summer camp (well, maybe a little then but I wasn’t about to admit it). So today I’m am quite joyful just to be home. I have my nieces with me and we are doing a little dress-up.

My HG keeps telling me I better go change before someone comes to the door. Bring it on!
