Do you participate in Scrapbooking/Card/Altered Art challenges, sketches or Dares on blogs or websites?  I have never done so.  I think I will eventually.  But finding the time to play does not happen often.  I am mostly creating for assignments and publication.  There is a websight called Split Coast Stampers that I lurked on for a few years.  I finally signed on to be a member earlier this year.   They have a set of stamping dares called Dirty Dares 08. ( http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=40 for a bunch of challenges) It is about simply getting those fingers inky and playing.  I think when Maxx starts school this fall (Insert big Momma tears) I will pick a day and let myself play.  Because if I do not set time aside it will never happen.  Thursdays are laundry day.  What should play day be?  Maybe friday? Or should I start the week off with some me time and go for Monday?  This layout has nothing to do with my posted questions.  I made this about a year ago for Maxx’s sitter Donna.  She was great to him and I personally miss her.  She did more than just watch him so I jenjoyed doing extra things for her.

I thought I would upload some random creations.  One is fall and the other is Christmas-ish.  I never work in season so I

never know when to post my work.

This was a card I had in Cards a few months back.  I think the Feb.  issue.  I really like this color combination and would like to figure out a room in the new house to adapt them into.

Dress form

Yesterday was simply the BEST!!!!  Carla and I drove halfway to meet Lauren.  Well, half way just happened to be at the outlet mall.  So many bargains to be had.  We all left at the end of the day with multiple bags a piece.  It was really nice to get out, have lunch and shop with just adults.  At lunch we were laughing so hard that people had to think we were crazy.

The camera is in my car.  SO I will upload pictures later.  For now I will upload a darling little dress form that I decorated for a Company to display at CHA.  Terra Bella has all kinds of cool paint treatments and wonderful rich paint colors.  This one is called Tiffany Blue.  This is also the color I want to do my craft room when we move.  My desk is black the walls will be Tiffany and then I ams thinking accents of red?
