Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

The blog 'photo full' flag I received must have been
a fluke as I can now post photos - hopefully it will not return.  

Early October, Laurie & Suzanne came to visit me.
Here they are arriving at the airport.  

As soon as we left the airport we were determined to
squeeze as much as we could into their four day visit.

 Immediately after their arrival, we were off &
shopping at  The Rusty Chandelier

 

 Our Haunting Welcome

Amazing handmade crowns!

 A picture of Friendship!

The next morning we spent a couple of hours in my studio
creating Gothic Ghost banners.

 I did not finish my banner as I seem to talk too much.



Our next adventure was to shop the Mission Road Antique Mall and eat lunch at the Bloomsbury Bistro located in the mall.

 This is my favorite place for lunch!
Their toasted carrot cake is the best ever!

 Shopping at Beth's booth.  
Beth always has the coolest treasures at great prices!

We fulfilled Suzanne's dream to shop the brick and mortar store
of Victoria Trading Co.

Later that evening Suzanne surprise us
with darling Ballerina socks and tiaras

 It's been a long time since I've done a plie.

Two days down, two days left to share of our amazing visit.
 I will soon post about our adventures at the
Kansas City First Weekend West Bottoms vintage stores
(be sure and watch the West Bottoms video on this link!)
and Karla's Romantic Gothic Ghost event. 
 till then...

Photo Space Full

When uploading my last blog photo, I received a notice

stating my free Google blog photo space is full.  

I did not reduce my images to Web large before uploading them.

I now understand this can make a huge difference on

your free photo space. 

Please be patient with me as my blog post may be few and far between till I figure out what my plans are...resize my blog photos or pay for more space, hum??? 

Please keep me on your Follow List as I hope to resolve this soon... Thank you!

Breakfast at Tiffany's Swap

I was honored to be included in Laurie's

Breakfast at Tiffany's fabric book swap.

This swap proved to be a challenge for me as I had never done a fabric page before.  Even though my page did not turn out as I had envisioned it, I learned a lot.

Here are my eight swap pages, front and back

Each swapper sent their eight finished pages to Laurie.
Laurie then bounded our pages with a front & back cover
 she created.

The highly anticipated arrival of our swap 

Unveiled....

Laurie M. Jackson - Dream Maker, front cover

Laurie M. Jackson - My Friend..., inside front cover.

Lots of Tiffany blue, white & black satin ribbons, lace, jewels, trim, cat, lyrics, but mostly amazing, creative talent! 

What a gorgeous fabric book we created.  Big, big heartfelt thanks and appreciation to my fellow swappers on this project!

This shared project was time consuming & sometimes frustrating, but ultimately it became a beautiful collaborated piece of art!  
We'd love to hear your comments on our fabric book.

Hugs to you ~ Tami
