4.18.11 ... little package

i only have a small window of opportunity to create on mondays because we are gone all afternoon. i went on a kitchen cleaning binge all morning which shrank my window down to a nubbin. while scrubbing away i had an order for these gorgeous vintage earrings and decided to use my time preparing the package so i could mail it right out. i used a paint chip card i found last week and a magazine piece from a few years ago. i have used this page bit by bit because i think it's so pretty and this is the very last bit.

farewell pretty page. here is the card remainder. i'm sure you'll see it again one day right here on this station. and this is how i wrapped up the entire package...

i used a magazine piece, my 'new' vintage crochet spool (love this) and made a coordinating thank you recycled bookmark. and last but never least, here's some fun i had with the photo session ...

there's my little sweet potato back in the day. can't believe she turns 17 in a few short weeks. ack! i'll create something more substantial tomorrow. i promise.

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon

2.15.11 ... 1930 era greeting card magnets

i have a collection of very old - 1920s - 30s - greeting cards that my lovely and wonderful sister sent me. i have only used a few of them over the past year or so that i've had them because i find they don't lend themselves to reincarnation easily. at least i am finding them challenging. but today i made these magnets by piecing a few things together in creative ways. i think they came out pretty sweet.

i will list them in my joonbeam etsy shop. and... last but not least... the valentine cookies i promised to show you. they are so delicious.

and pretty, too, don't you think?

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon
