Quick Update...

I feel like I haven't posted anything new in a while...except fort he Frugal Fridays...which are fun, but I want to share more...

So here is a quick update...

Camp Scrap is over, and I'm missing it. For the final week...well, life got in the way and very few assignments were finished...but, here is what I did do...


I tried out a cool technique I saw over at Studio Calico...a sort of white wash with paints...I like it! But I think I need to practice a bit more to perfect it...


This was for Friday's sketch assignment...simple layout, but I like the way it turned out...


And this one was for the Thursday Designer idea...I love this one (tooting my own horn here) and am finding that I really like the doodle-look!

I went on vacation to Tahoe...but I didn't take very many pictures...what!?!?! I guess I was having too much fun riding my bike to stop for photo ops! The weather was wonderful, and the bike trails amazing! I did take some pictures of wild flowers and am toying with a mini album idea for those...I have been really into making minis this year!

The garden is coming along swimmingly (not really...but its not dead...) I have a few watermelons that have set...


Ain't she cute!

I have been getting great big pumpkin flowers...


But none have set yet...

And the Lemon Cucumber (yummy) has taken off and set a ton of baby cucs!



I still have to finish installing the drip system...boy is that a whole lot harder than I thought it would be! Maybe I can finish this weekend!

I have been doing a whole lot of crafting over the last couple of weeks...I think I have been in the studio almost every night after work. I have been working on quite a few mini albums...I will post some pictures on Saturday. And I am debating on putting together a little tutorial for one of them...it is a mini album for school pictures...but I am so bad at remembering to take pictures of each step...

Anyway, happy crafting!
