No new computer . . .

However, from time to time the screen clears and I can read posts, do emails, and now I am going to do a blog update in spite of this glitch!

This is the desktop screen I see. Colorful, but totally awful! But once I get on the internet, it clears up somewhat but it depends on what I am looking at. Drives me nuts when I want to read something and I have to guess what the words are in the jibberish columns!

Want to show you these two pictures. I bought the frames at a flea market and they contained needlepoint bird pictures. Didn't care for the needlework because it looked grungy and wrinkled in the frames. But the frames were great! Gold, oval and they have convex glass in them!

I love these ladies! The images came in another set of pictures I bought some time ago. I removed them, scanned them in and plan to use them often. The images here are printed out of the computer. I probably won't part with the originals -- at least not yet!I have grown to love these kinds of images and am now collecting them wherever I find them. I generally see pics of ladies in gowns and they are labeled "La Mode Illustree". I plan to do some research on this and see what I can find out.

La Mode Illustree slide mailer collage

I picked up this small slide mailer at Mystic Paper earlier this week. Decided to do a quick project with it this morning. I made this little book. Below is a peek inside the slide mailer book.
I used old images from my scrap box, pink paint, papers, fabric (the book spine cover), trim, a stamp, and Stickles. Quick to do and fun!!
