Sometimes...

I've not been creative at all or even very inspiring :)

For the past few days, I've been a blob
and hope to soon get back into the swing of things!!!

I'm simply recovering from the big event and

things are finally getting back to normal around here.

I edited the photos from the anniversary party and emailed them to CVS.

How cool is that??

You'd think I was from the stone age

but I still think it's so neat that you can do that.

I received an email in about an hour and a half that they were ready!

So since I've not really created anything great lately

I've poked around in my Picasa album and re-posted a few images for you ~

Oh! and guess what returned home in Monday's mail?

My altered lampshade frames from this last Somerset Life ~

I just love them.....

I hope you have an amazing Tuesday dear friends!!!!

hugs and love,

Dawn

A funny thing happened on the sofa the other night...

Night before last, I nestled down into our sofa
with my brand spankin' new copy of
Somerset Life.
I found it at my lovely Books-A-Million and was so glad!!!
I love this magazine and have enjoyed each and every issue.
I've been so fortunate to have had some of my artwork published
in Somerset Life and that is ALWAYS wonderful!

I love seeing many of my precious blog friends between the pages.
Some for their pure style and inspiration ~

And some for their amazing way of making everyday items beautiful.

And even some for their beautiful artwork and handiwork ~

It's always chock full of ideas that you can
even adapt to the supplies you have on hand.

And as ALWAYS the photography is gorgeous.

Towards the end of the magazine (sad time)
I was relishing each and every page and
came to an article about transforming lampshades ~
I didn't read it because I always look at the photos first!

Beautiful fabrics and ruffles draped around the frames were beautiful ~

And I turned the page to the last part of the article....
I stop.
These look QUITE familiar to me!
WHAT???
The lace lampshades were my submissions about three years ago!!!!
I didn't even know they were going to be in this issue either!
I didn't write the article for these but they
really did well describing how I made my altered lampshades.

Crazy, huh???
I usually receive a complimentary issue in the mail a
couple of weeks before the magazine hits the news stands but
for some reason didn't this time.

Sooooooo ~ I'm glad I bought it so I could see my stuff in it!!!

These are mine below:

It really is another gorgeous issue.
If you decide to go out and buy one, you won't be disappointed!!!

Have a wonderful Friday precious friends...
hugs and love,
Dawn
