Day 57 of 365 - My button jar

I have collected quite a variety of buttons for both scrapbooking and sewing. I also ended up with several cool jars to store stuff in. So today, I put my buttons in this jar and thought they looked so pretty I decided to get a picture of them.

Day 48 of 365 - Steampunk Owl

I almost forgot to take my daily picture today so I had to find something in the house to get. I used to have an owl collection when I was a kid, many years ago, and I recently got interested in steampunk, so when I found this steampunk owl of course I had to get it!

Day 47 of 365

My fun find of the day. I bought these little guys at Ross. Couldn't help myself because they are so cute!

Instagram photo challenge February 13 - my shoes.

I absolutely love these Skecher slipon shoes. They are the most comfortable things ever! And a real plus - when you go through security at the airport, they are so easy to get off and on really quick!

Day 41 of 365 - my crafty beads!

I got these on clearance several weeks ago for dirt cheap.  But they've been just sitting in the kitchen ever since. I need to get my act together and either put them away or do something with them!

This is Jenna, me, and Joy Anna downtown today.

Craft room idea!

We've been talking about getting rid of this massive junk catching entertainment center for awhile now. But I just decided that instead of buying the big cabinet I saw at Whoopie Bowl Antiques for $500, I will repurpose this for my craft room and get rid of the cheapy laminated particle board cabinets I have in there now. I can adjust the shelves to whatever height I want, add new ones, line the glass doors so stuff is hidden, create nice, pretty boxes to put on the exposed shelves. Yep, I think it will work! And best thing is it will cost nothing at all!

Day 39 of 365

I saw this at an antique store today and thought it was really cool. Funny thing is I didn't think to actually get a picture of the photograph.

These are my feet when I went walking at work on break. I also have my nice work pants on so I look rather silly. But hey, I'm out walking and getting in a mile each time!

FEBRUARY 2014 Instagram photo challenge Feb 5 - my handwriting

From what I've been hearing lately cursive writing is a disappearing skill and probably will not be taught in schools anymore. It is amazing what technology is making obsolete these days...
