Obvious to you. Amazing to others. - by Derek Sivers

Yep, that was me all over! Was it you too?

I heart zines swap 2010

Yeah I know, I’m behind by almost a year.  What can I say, I moved and um yeah, yada yada yada, excuses excuses later, here I am April 2011 and still have not shared my swapped zines.  And to make matters worse the pics of the Zines I made last year are in my old dead vaio ( God rest its digital soul)  soooo, all I have to share are pics of the awesome Zines I received. 

Okay so first I’ll say each year the swap is hosted by Alma Stoller and the site is here.  You make ten zines you get 10 yummy zines back.  I hate to say it but with everything going on last year, I think that was my only swap, oh wait I swapped out some charms in Belinda Spiwak's Charm swap about the time My Mom died.  I remember I made some of those charms in the Nursing home and I made WAY too many.  But other than that yeah, I only made the zines.  So here are the pics and the artists.

This one is Use it up/ Wear it out the final issue by Jeane Walker Sliney.

  It is so fat and full of goodies, info and inspiration! I don’t have a link for  her or I would provide it. This zine is amazing!

I don’t think I’ll share all 10 zines or this post is going to be really long, however I will share a couple more because I have been remiss in sharing info.  My apologies.

 

This fuzzy tome is entitled “Felting” and was jampacked full of felty goodness by Katherine Snow.

Sadly, I don’t have a blog to share for this one either, <Sad Panda>

 

Anywho, I’ll share more of these at a later date, because I really, REALLY need to do that.  Much love and blissings to you, La

And so it begins

Uh yeah so I'm participating in our family's version of Biggest Loser 2011 this year. Weighed in today at 192, haven't been that big in years. See what stress does to a body if you let it? This weeks challenge is 50 lunges, sit-ups, push-ups and rope skips. We weigh in again in 2 weeks with a 5lb loss as our goal. I made it to 50 sit-ups, 25 push-ups, 50 rope skips and 25 lunges each side. Not bad for a first day. I also have to finish my sketchbook for the sketchbook project and mailed off before the 15th. I started working on my zebra for Milliandes first Journal prompt of the month. AND I need to make a steampunk outfit before Saturdays Steampunk themed tea. yup that's my week in a nutshell, how're things going with you?

Milliandes Art Journal January 2011

She's doing it again this year! Get that Journal made, it starts tomorrow!

Happy Happy Holidays!

I'm in Colorado

My daughter drove 3 days with lots of breaks and overnight hotel stays. She got sick, one of the back tires blew, it rained and we hydroplaned like crazy, it snowed, but here we are in Colorado. I am staying temporarily with a friend until I figure out my next step. I hope you are all blessed, warm and loved. La
