Birds of a Feather.....

In yesterday's post (here) I gave you a sneak peak of some

photoshop work I've been doing with graphics from the Graphics

Fairy.  Oh such fun and such great results.  I used Avery fabric

iron on transfer paper (about $12 Cdn for 5 sheets). 

 It's so fun that I think I might become a bit of

 a photoshop fanatic!!

Here's the 2 different graphic overlays (using one graphic

with a "clear" background on top of another) I made 2

pillows out of:

If you would like to use either of these - please ensure that you

give credit to Karen at the Graphics Fairy for the original graphics

and I wouldn't mind a shout out to my blog for the overlay.

Here's what I did with them....

Now this one is cool because the pillow is a pillow cover from

Dollarama that I simply cut in half.  It has a zippered opening (for

a buck!) and is polyester that looks like burlap - win/win - washable

and pretty!

The hummingbird one is on a linen background with a string fringe - I

couldn't get a really good picture of it (the lighting was not good) but

the graphicis a bit darker than it appears in the photo.

I did more but I want to show them off a few at a time....there's no

stopping me now!

Thanks again to Karen to the graphics!  Fun, fun, fun!!

2 for 1

This is the first time I have posted 2x's in one day!

Whahoo!  I just wanted to give you a little sneak peak

at what I've been up to today.  I was having fun with

graphics from (where else) Karen at the Graphics Fairy.

Check this out:

Now picture it on a pillow...,.and wait, there's more....but you will

have to come back tomorrow to see what else I've done....

p.s. I am happy to share images that I have "photo-shopped" just

fire me off an email and I can send them along - I will,

however want to see what you do with them!

It's MY Day

Today is my birthday (we won't talk numbers or wait,

maybe we will)!  At Christmas I was at about 50 followers.

I thought "wouldn't it be cool if by my birthday I had as

many followers as my age"?  (Yup, I might never grow

up because that really appealed to me!)

So I was going to appeal to all of you to increase it by

4 followers to bring me to......wait for it.......54! 

In true blogging fashion my wishes were exceeded I

am now at 60 followers!  Yeah!!

Thank you to all who have joined me this past 7

months or so I've been blogging.  I am thrilled that

you are reading and I hope, with improvements to

the layout, to bring you even more restoration stories

(the before and afters that we love) this year mixed

in with bits and pieces of every day life!

Thursday....Can you say "Sushi"?

Short and sweet - went for Sushi with my good friend

Pat.  As always had a fabulous chat along with really

great food.  Brought home some leftover California

rolls (I always end up ordering too much) and shared one

of them with "the girls" (my pooches).  You can see the

evidence below of how much Bee likes sushi!

Got some projects done today that I will share in the

next few days....all'n all a great day!
