I had a lot of fun creating this keepsake wedding book. It's beautiful and contains so many embellishments and places for photos.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Each page holds a surprise and there are about 14 of them including the front and back inside covers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Oh what fun I had creating my latest memory/photo journal. This book opens from the center out which is a first for me. As you can see, it's painted a wonderful and bright blue, just like the deep blue sea.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n61ijXijyqM/V5KumCLxGaI/AAAAAAAAFLo/FxQVLj-GBKw4px_n-kYN1MVVHkDUJgBBwCLcB/s1600/book%2B029.jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n61ijXijyqM/V5KumCLxGaI/AAAAAAAAFLo/FxQVLj-GBKw4px_n-kYN1MVVHkDUJgBBwCLcB/s320/book%2B029.jpg.jpg" width="248" /></a></div>
The front is decorated with seashells, flowers and some embellishments. There is a brass hook closure which brings the two covers together. This book measures approx. 7" across and a little over 6" high.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cqLvfim8xt8/V5KunaYbZKI/AAAAAAAAFLs/aXP6jDnfP_AY6Z4Xz-QWcN3I3GRaE8aZwCLcB/s1600/book%2B030.jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cqLvfim8xt8/V5KunaYbZKI/AAAAAAAAFLs/aXP6jDnfP_AY6Z4Xz-QWcN3I3GRaE8aZwCLcB/s320/book%2B030.jpg.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The left front opens to a waterfall for photos or writing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There is a smaller waterfall on the inside back. Decorative papers were used throughout and so if you chose not to use the waterfalls for photos, they are beautiful just the way they are.<br />

I had so much fun this creating this latest junk journal. My baby girl book sold right away and so I thought I would give the baby boy's a little attention this time around. I am so happy that I did, because this is the cutest book I have ever made. I am lovin the baby clothes on the little line on the cover, there are also little clothes pins, just too cute.<br />

I had some Graghic 45 paper and was able to use all that I had. This is where I got the paper doll cloths from. As you can see, this page has tags for photos or for journaling. The opposite page has a flap that opens with more space for adding all those photos and clippings.<br />

When you open the first page, you will find a place for a special photo along with two flaps that open out to reveal tags for journaling. There are also graphics that have been fussy cut from graphics 45 paper.<br />

Such a sweet cover. I did not share the back, but it's the same pink paper with lace along the side. Closes with a clip and ribbon. I hope you enjoyed seeing my latest creation and will come back for more.Charhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18288010852616701624noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622623405848805677.post-56093639086754377322016-04-09T08:07:00.000-07:002016-04-09T08:07:19.924-07:00Just A Little Share<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I don't usually post photos of my work on this blog because I have a business blog that I prefer to post on, but today I decided that it's been awhile since I posted in here, and well, it was just easier for me today. Sorry, but I have been so very busy since last year, that I just haven't had the time to post what's been going on in my life and I guess that makes me a bit lazy, I promise to try and do better going forward.<br />

I don't know what it is that captures my mind and my imagination about the shape of hearts. I have always loved them and I remember drawing them as a very young child. I came up with this pattern and created the sachets you see on this page. Each sachet has a scent, most of these have a white blossom talc in them to give a very soft and romantic, fresh scent. Most of the time I used dried lavender buds to fil er up, but this time I went for something very different. The above heart sachet has hanging pearls and a pottery heart that I found while in Sedona on a day trip. I just love that.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Beautiful pink and blue, blue bead work and some embroidery lace work make up this gorgeous sachet. Perfect for hanging just about anywhere or giving as a gift to that someone special.<br />

Vintage hankie points on the upper sides of this hanging sachet and pretty ribbons in the center. Vintage buttons too. The last heart showcases pink roses on a sea of black, very stunning and pink bead work, just the right color. Most of these have sold and are on their way to new homes, but they were lots of fun to create and I am sure there will be more on the way. If you would like to see what I have to offer you, just go to my website and have a peek around. I would love to have you visit. http://someplaceinthyme.com<br />

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vvIyx-j4apk/U5zPpLeXqpI/AAAAAAAAE48/lLUB2EWrEu0/s1600/flowers+007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vvIyx-j4apk/U5zPpLeXqpI/AAAAAAAAE48/lLUB2EWrEu0/s1600/flowers+007.jpg" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
As I was scrolling through some of my floral photos, I thought I would share some of those that are from the desert. I think when you see some of the beauty of a cactus in bloom, it takes your breathe way.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IqrYrqKibMI/U5zPtYdeNVI/AAAAAAAAE5E/YgiVwlpducs/s1600/flowers+008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IqrYrqKibMI/U5zPtYdeNVI/AAAAAAAAE5E/YgiVwlpducs/s1600/flowers+008.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
How can something so prickly be so beautiful? Yet, here it is, in all it's glory.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wz07vei8uVk/U5zP3WpykcI/AAAAAAAAE5M/znFdIu4EhVw/s1600/flowers+009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wz07vei8uVk/U5zP3WpykcI/AAAAAAAAE5M/znFdIu4EhVw/s1600/flowers+009.jpg" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
And then, there are the stranger than fiction blooms. Makes you wonder what planet this came from!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gq9oo1y33gU/U5zP9LDv0kI/AAAAAAAAE5Y/1U1eUMo-Gm0/s1600/flowers+010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gq9oo1y33gU/U5zP9LDv0kI/AAAAAAAAE5Y/1U1eUMo-Gm0/s1600/flowers+010.jpg" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
If you didn't know better, you would think the plant is dead or dying, but it's not. I don't know how the thing stands up.<br />

This is the front of my home on the side. This cactus has arms that are beginning to lay down everywhere, but when she blooms, oh my! I am in love.<br />

These blooms have a heavenly scent too. It's too bad they last less than a day.<br />

I hope you enjoyed your little tour of what grows around me. I have more to show, but that has to wait another day.

I was introduced to Dale Chihuly's work about five years ago when he was showing at the Phoenix Botanical Gardens. I was in love. What a talent this man from Tacoma, Washington has.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When I discovered he was showing again this year, I knew I had to go and go and go again. When you walk up to the Botanical Gardens, this is the first glimpse you get. Three tall glass art forms that resemble cactus.<br />

The rush of the holidays is behind us and pretty soon we will be looking at filling our homes and ours hearts with love. For me, this means creating beautiful items for you to enjoy, give as gifts or fill your home with.<br />

These are three that are available on my website now. I am not sure that I will be making more of them, they are not pillows, but are hanging heart sachets. Each one has over a cup of dried lavender buds inside.<br />

I hear a bunny calling my name, so I will probably move on to Easter pretty quick. Oops, did I really say that? Although so many of us are in a deep freeze, spring is on it's way.<br />
I have been away from the blogging world for a year now. Please don't ask me what I have been doing, it's all a blur, but things certainly have changed and left me out of the loop. I think I may have to relearn how to post. Thanks for being patience and if you are interested in my website, you can find it at<br />

For most of my adult life, I can remember a passion for cookbooks. The problem is, now that I am older, time seems to slip away and I find I no longer spend much of it in my kitchen. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I don't seem to be able too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-By_2jbv9VhA/UOnKR3nP0lI/AAAAAAAAEnM/f9WEicoYlB0/s1600/cookbook+010.jpg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-By_2jbv9VhA/UOnKR3nP0lI/AAAAAAAAEnM/f9WEicoYlB0/s320/cookbook+010.jpg.jpg" width="207" /></a></div>
Yet, after almost 41 years of marriage, (this year) I still collect cookbooks.<br />
So, I have decided that this year I will try a new idea. Each month, I will select a cookbook and make great food from it. Don't be deceived from the two photos above, I have more than this!!! HA! Yep, you caught me.<br />

Even though Christmas is behind us, this is the newest book I picked up, so I decided to use it for the month of January. I made the scones recipe yesterday and they were so good, I decided to make two more batches for our grown children.<br />

You then cut the dough into eight pieces. The recipe calls for a glaze to go over the top once the scones are baked, but I like to use sugar in the raw, so I substituted the sugar for the glaze. I sprinkle the sugar on before baking.<br />

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour<br />
2 1/2 t. baking powder<br />
1/2 t. baking soda<br />

Stir in cranberries and sugar, add buttermilk, mixing until just blended.<br />
Divide dough in half, roll each portion into an 8 inch circle, about 1/2" thick, on a lightly floured surface.<br />
Cut each portion into 8 wedges, arrange on ungreased baking sheets.<br />
Bake at 400 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes, remove to a wire rack to cool. Drizzle glaze over the tops. Let stand until glaze is hardened. Wrap loosely in wax paper. Makes 16 servings.<br />

Have you ever wondered if a bird can think? Well, I believe that they can not. For if they could, surely they would never build a nest in the upper lleft corner of a trellis. <br />
I have always thought that the male bird built the nest and waited for the female to approve. I know that there is a type of bird that this is true, but I don't think it's true for all. Whomever built this little nest should have been sent packing!!<br />
Maybe I have no idea what I am talking about, and this sweet home will withstand the rearing of babies without any problems....time will tell.<br />

A cute dove, and I wish her all the luck in the world with her nest and her little ones to be.<br />

With so much going on in our lives today, it's nice to just take a walk around the yard. This is what I awoke too a couple of days ago. <br />
When did these bloom? I was so surprised at what was awaiting my eyes, surprised, but very happy. :)<br />

I think this may be the perfect rose. Just look at those gorgeous colors. What a gift from the heavens and a wonderful way to begin a day.<br />

You might be waiting for a package, a letter from a friend, or even a check, but I don't think you really expect to see this!<br />
<br />
Yep, it's a jury summons to appear.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-M4GgVgKUdXc/T3T8-qSf-4I/AAAAAAAAEgo/H5rY57apO3A/s1600/sachet+026.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dea="true" height="225" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-M4GgVgKUdXc/T3T8-qSf-4I/AAAAAAAAEgo/H5rY57apO3A/s400/sachet+026.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>For all the obvious reasons, I have marked out my address, but you can clearly see I am one lucky girl.<br />

Sometimes cases get settled out of court and so there is no need to appear.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B_jnrqpKHzI/T3T9yUsdnXI/AAAAAAAAEg8/iKCbc1fmwj4/s1600/sachet+027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dea="true" height="225" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B_jnrqpKHzI/T3T9yUsdnXI/AAAAAAAAEg8/iKCbc1fmwj4/s400/sachet+027.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>When I did make the call, I was told to call the following morning at 11:00. I just knew that had to be a sign that they didn't need me.........keeping fingers crossed, I called.<br />
Please report today at 1:00. WHAT!!??<br />
I had to drive into Phoenix, right in the heart of downtown. Please understand, Queen Creek is south of Chandler, about 34 miles from Phoenix. Not bad, but then there's a little thing called traffic.<br />
<br />
<br />

I had to go back the following day and low and behold, I became a juror.<br />
The trail was for domestic abuse and lasted one week. I can't tell you how much I hated that commute, bumper to bumper on the I 10 for over an hour, but I did my civic duty and I am proud of it.<br />
Now they can't call me for two years!!!

I ask because it's common to see clouds dark like this and never see a drop of the wet stuff.<br />
The average rain fall in the desert is around 4 inches a year, not much is it?<br />
Well, here we go bloggers, this is what the clouds Gods brought us and it was wonderful....<br />

No, I am not sick, (well, not that I know of anyway. :)) but my heart was heavy with the love and gratitude I felt for what I have been given in life.<br />
Grateful for the clouds in the sky. We live in the desert, and so clouds are a gift. Rain? Even better still.<br />
Just look at the lovely sky....Thank you God.<br />

I have had a couple pairs of sweet baby shoes and decided that I had better get busy creating for my website. My pages are looking a little bare and it's catch up time.<br />
I hope you don't mind seeing what I have been up too this week. There really isn't that much going on outside, although I do have some citrus that we have been eating.......so dang good.<br />

I was shocked to see the Texas Laurel was in full bloom. If you have never seen this beautiful tree, the blooms smell just like grape soda....yummy to look at too.<br />

These make great oranges for juicing, but are hard to peel and eat. You can peel them, but they take some effort. The skins are thin and I think that is the problem, great flavor though.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I am so excited to be able to participate in Pink Saturday this week. I have been so very busy and have missed my bloggie pink friends.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I am a soap a holic, yes, I confess, soap has been my obsession for many years now. I took a class years ago on making soap, but was a complete and utter failure.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I combined lemon grass and lavender into the soap thinking these scents would go so well together.</div><div style="text-align: left;">They did not. After letting the mixture set up for weeks, the final product smelled so bad, that I had to throw it all out.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Making soap has been in my blood ever since and I am planning on giving it another try.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Until then, I came up with an idea of soap pockets, and the above photo is an example of my first one.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1j_MMJNheI4/Tz7rBB8tbiI/AAAAAAAAEYg/1kyR5G2tCPs/s1600/soap+002+png.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="195" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1j_MMJNheI4/Tz7rBB8tbiI/AAAAAAAAEYg/1kyR5G2tCPs/s320/soap+002+png.png" width="320" yda="true" /></a></div>This is just the sweetest idea for gift giving. This pretty pocket holds a beautiful bar of soap. What could be a nicer gift? Gesh, I love this idea.<br />
<br />
<br />

I plan on creating many more of these, soap included.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

My hubbie's company has given us the gift of a villa in Cabo for a week. This year we had some surprises that I thought I would share with you.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W5mExEW-35M/TwToeWE-o6I/AAAAAAAAEOM/Ql8LLXAgW9U/s1600/cabo+linens+002+pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W5mExEW-35M/TwToeWE-o6I/AAAAAAAAEOM/Ql8LLXAgW9U/s400/cabo+linens+002+pic.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>One day after the housekeepers left, we discovered this on our bed. The heart was made using white towels that had been rolled and shaped into the heart.<br />
<br />
<br />

The other flowers look like some type of vinca to me but I am not sure.<br />
<br />

What do you think?<br />
<br />
<br />

Again, rolled up white towels and flowers. Just too lovely for words......<br />
