Happy Belated WIP Wednesday

Work In Progress

As I sit here doing a happy dance (I sold my first handmade book-thanks Jenn) I am also working on another.

As always, I love to use postcards for my nonpostcard type crafts.  (Can we say obsession?)  And things being on the limited funds side, I also have to improvise with what I have available to me.  Which, in my case, probably leads to greater creativity, but I'll never admit that because I still want to buy more craft supplies.  

So, with postcards in hand and scrounged up supplies, I present my third handmade book; today's Work In Progress:

STUFFellaneous is my store name and this is the first postcard I ever had printed em masse.

The book pages are a combination of scrapbook, printer, stationery, and vintage papers.

I had to add some doo dads.

Little envelope to hold stuff.

Larger envelopes with hand stamped note papers.

And a major part of the book was a left over clasp envie.  (What is the official name of these thing-a-ma-giggs?)

Before it is all said and done there will be some string, glue, and buttons added.  Maybe some more hoosie-whats-its.

Trying to take better photos

 I am trying out some different photo ideas for my Etsy postcard listings.  Here we are on the fence in the back yard.  Glad no one could see me; "what the heck is that lady doing?"

Santa Cruz


Let's Go!!!

Myrtle Beach

 I have always wanted to go there & will probably never get there.

Mt. Saint Helens


How sad is it that I can remember when the stuff of history books was new!?!

Visit to the Idaho Aquarium

Yesterday I was able to visit the Idaho Aquarium (Boise, Idaho) with my friend Stephanie.  

One of the highlights was feeding the Puffins!

 Stephanie studied marine biology in Florida.

 My only complaint:  they don't sell postcards.  I'm gonna see if I can fix that!!!


Thanks Swap-bot Swap


Thanks Melissa!

Postcards from Utah!

 Years ago I hiked up to the top of Bridal Veil Falls after biking there!
 Here's where I finished my bachelor's degree.
 I can still find my way around campus; although I do look like I'm old enough to be everyone's mother.
 For my friend Shaunna who collects old bikes.
 Just because it was pretty.
 For my sweetheart!
 The MTC is where I learned to speak French.
 Winter & summer views of SLC.
