It snowed last weekend. In the middle of April! We don't get much snow in the winter, it is just insane to have it in the middle of spring!

I thought it looked very pretty on the tulips.

I received another of the altered books from the round robin this week. The theme is birds. I had a hard time figuring out what I wanted to do. I like the end result though. It was also a challenge to work horizontally. I have never done an altered book this way so I had to do some re-thinking. :-) I hope she likes it.

Very strange! I just went to change the font on this post as I always use Verdana and see that I can no longer do that....just have the choice of "small, medium or large". Wonder why they did that?! Sort of takes away the individuality of the poster doesn't it? Hmm

A new ATC

I was home alone last night. It was only for about an hour and a half but still....all alone! I have not had any alone time since November when hubby ended up in the hospital and we began this cancer/chemo journey.


So, he and the kid went out for dinner and I enjoyed the peace and quiet....and made an ATC.

I used a couple of the images I printed on fabric a while back....the woman and the Eiffel Tower postcard. I frayed the edges of the fabric for texture.

I used a scrap of ivy printed wallpaper for my background as well as a coral colored scrap.

I added a real postage stamp that I sanded to make it look old and worn. The metal photo corner on the bottom right is actually a brad. I twisted lace and added it to the upper left.

I used chalks and inks on the edges for color.

Finally, I thought she needed a fashionable hat since she had been sending postcards from Paris. Using several pastel colored buttons, I attached them with Tacky glue. As you can see, the glue wasn't completely dry when I took the picture (patience is not always one of my virtues) LOL
