Sequintastic:: The Reveal

Finally I am back on the net. I had been away for a bit (2 weeks) and was hoping that I would make it in time

to do the blog hop and guess what?? I did =)

Sarah from Saturday Sequins is hosting her first blog hop.

I love crafting and stuff and really have not gotten a chance to make anything revolving sequins.

I had been wanting to make some ornaments for Christmas for a while now.

The templates I made are not exactly what I envisioned, but they came out great.

I am still working on a few of them, so I will be posting the ones I finished.

I decided to make snowflakes and Christmas trees.

Here are the flakes

I loved the silver but wanted to switch it up with some color...

This resulted in.......

All together....

I was not sure if I liked the red back ground, and being a newbie still to the whole

photo taking scene, I changed it up a bit and tried the white background.

Ugh..... too dark.

I guess more practicing is in my future.. lol

Now for my trees, because I don't want to leave them out....

I just need to add the sequins and I will update those looks hopefully tomorrow or Monday.

So that is what I did with the sequins...

Here is a list of everyone who joined in the fun.

Have a great weekend..

Cloudy with a Chance of.........

Every morning before I get my coffee on & settle in to read blogs

& stuff, I love to go out & see what the day has in store.

There was just something about the clouds today that

brought back some great memories for me.

I remember one time my brother and I were playing near a creek

& it had stepping stones.

I was going from stone to stone and I missed one.

Feel right into the water.

And it was VERY deep.

At the time I did not know how to swim.

Lets just say that creek turned into a river for me and

I almost drowned that day.

The clouds in the sky reminded me of the stepping stones.

::Here was my view this morning::

I also want to start taking more photos to

get better at it.

Before I would just get candid shots of

my mom on the toilet, my aunt when she would first wake up

or the dogs fornicating.

I know weirdo.. lol

But I am now older & wiser.

Guess that is a good thing for the family.. HA!

Did anything today remind you of a happy memory?

I would love to hear about it.

Have a great day!
