 Hello again,

        Sorry it has taken a week to make this entry....I had a few computer issues. I also started going to a chiropractor as of Monday a week ago and it is an hour away one way. The leg has improved some what...at least now I can walk much much better. I can complete adl's now without being in severe pain and complete the tasks needed of me for family duties. The pics I took are of Dusty on our way back from the bus and going to the bus. Cooper stayed with Amanda so he missed out on the walk.



        The tags are some tags I made for the blog challenge over at Simon Says Stamp and Show  Show your favorite Tim Holtz stamp...well that is just tooo hard for me. I love them all and I really do have some favs that I do use all the time. Starting with the Enjoy the Journey...the ones with birds.....oooooo so many favs. We will go with the Enjoy the Journey at the moment. The dragonfly is from my tutorial if you would like to see how to make it...easy peasy!! Tim Holtz stamps, keys, alcohol inks, distress inks, papers, paints, the tiny attacher and stamps were used to create the tags. Quickutz tree from the Going Green "Reuse" dies for the tree. The leaves are Cricut from Life is a Beach cut using the transparencies that Beverly gave me and everyone in the class. Thanks again Beverly. The transparencies work fabo on the Cricut then use your alcohol inks to add color!!

        This weekend was a busy one...I will share more asap. Hope your weekend was a fun filled creative one.  Have a fabulous week....I will try real hard to make a post to share my weekend tomorrow. Until next time.............Be Creative!! Cyber Hugs, Dawn Gallop

Miss You Crystal

Note the concentration

There he goes!!!

Today I was busy cleaning house ( I had to stay inside) and it seems North Carolina has the cool weather upon us. Tonight it feels like 25 degrees outside but only 37 degrees. I have been missing Crystal soooooo much...I made her this card. My Unity Stamp set came in the mail and immediatly I fell in love with this stamp. I made it bright and cheerful for Crystal. Made me feel better about missing her. The pp is Sassafrass Lass. The ribbon is just something I have had in my stash...unknown. The straight pin is Fancy Pants. I used Copic markers to color with. The cardstock is Archiver's natural. Also sharing some pics from earlier this week while outside ......Dusty on his trike. Last night at the class I taught, we had so much fun we sewed, used the airbrush system and colored with Copics...I just love my students...we have so much fun....can't wait until the next class. Hope you have a WONDERFUL weekend. Hugs, Dawn Gallop

Hello Hello Hello,
I just got finished with the box....had started awhile back...(all my stuff is in stages). When you have nine children and a job, and a husband (wink wink) they can be like children too!! LOL hubby may get made at me....but he will tell everyone I have 10 (counting himself). The box was PERFECT to fit in the theme of this weeks challenge over at Simon Say Stamp and Show Blog Challenge this week.  This weeks theme shabby...well that is one thing I do!! Oh my gosh my head was spinning. I just got the Tim Holtz configuration boxes and wanted to start that...but knew I had to close out some of my other projects.

I painted the box with Tim Holtz Old Paper Crackle paint, and inked, the feet are the

Advantus - Tim Holtz - Idea-ology Collection - Foundations Metal Feet  then inside I cut the paper to fit box using the 7 Gypsies Conservatory line. The bird, the branch, all handcut.  The magnify glass is a Ranger

*Ranger Inkssentials MEMORY CAPSULES 1" BY 1" Frame that I then cut out the frame piece of the bubble added

Hello again,

Here is my first project with DT Say it with Letters. If you would like to purchase one of these great easy to alter trees go HERE. Debs fabulous ETSY store has some really super items to alter......I have a huge wish list. Go HERE to the ETSY store. The tree is handpainted and I used Webster's Pages as background papers the Seaside Collection.  Also remember this week is the Giveaway week at Everything Etsy  

Deb is giving away a sweet little set of the Girly Girl Closet. So cute. You will love them.

I also wanted to share a few more pics of the boys painting. When we go up to the studio (Cooper wants to go as much as possible) They just fit right in.....painting, stickers flying, scissors cutting, clay, anything artsy. They are all over it. Hubby has even bought extra paint sets for them. I am gonna make a magnet board to display all their wonderful art work.

I will bringing you yet another recipe tomorrow on pralines....stay tuned.

Have a wonderful INSPIRED Day!!!

Cyber Hugs, Dawn Gallop
