...........and lets take care of my ticket to the party...( incase the deluge doesn't count as a drink) Sorry for the terrible lighting.. its a dull dreary day.. Here's my cup of 'Donut Hole ' decaf coffee... fresh from my Keurig.. And i thought i'd show you my two little pen/pencil holders that used to be flower pots... At the store... Lowe's i think they had dead plants in them and they marked them down for me..
.......... and now for the Lemon... In all honesty i cannot say that this product is a Lemon... It is in all probability my fault.. But for me the instructions were vague... the few pictures tiny and not clear.. So whats a person to do?? Go to YouTube!!! I had hoped the company had put up a video to help but was not so lucky.. I tried a similar video (see here) but had a hard time getting it to translate to my product.. So what to do.. ? I glued it and tore it apart several times before deciding life is too short for this mess... So..
I made several PostCards.....
I apologize the glitter makes it not want to focus..
And some cards.........
So with a little bit of glitter... (ok ALOT of glitter) and a little gold paint on the edges etc..
ALL the rocks are textured now.... Now i have to shade them all.. The brown strips are suppose to be sand and i want to crackle that surface.. Tried a practice crackle last night but no crackles.. Its a One Step Crackle.. don't know how i can mess up one step but i did.. hmmmm.. Take care ! Have a good week! Happy T day! Hugs! deb
I hope this means the drought in Texas is easing up. Now if the rain can only go further West. (You are in Texas?)

Happy Dancing that you finally got a good amount of rain-I probably would have gone out and thanked mother nature haha
ReplyDeleteI love those little pottery containers now perfect for pens, and I love your pottery mug. You did good making lemonade out of lemons-now you have some fun mail to send off. What was it suppose to be?
Happy T hugs Kathy
Oh and good for you sticking with your large paint project-it will be awesome when completed
DeleteI love how you were creative despite the disappointment. Your postcards turned out lovely as well as the fish!
ReplyDeleteI really love your mug.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
Happy for your rain- but we've gotten so much of it I'd love to send it your way:). The cards and postcards you created from the kit are beautiful! Much better than the original. Fish art is looking great too. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of something a colleague sad today about project managers.
ReplyDeleteI have to translate, he said it in German. A lemon butterfly is called Zitronenfalter, "lemon folder".
If you thought project managers manage projects you also believe lemon folders fold lemons.
Haaaaaa...
Love the fishes! Happy T-Day and hugs :-)
*said, not sad, boy, it was a long day. Does it count as excuse? ;-)
ReplyDeleteYay for rain!! Hope for more! Like what you did with the flowers - great ideas! Super cute pencil holders and great coffee cup. All good. Happy T-day!
ReplyDeleteWichita has gotten over six inches of rain in the past 20 hours. We are now under a flood watch until Friday. Rain is forecast for the next three days. So I'm not dancing, I'm rowing!
ReplyDeleteLove those little pots. What a clever use for them. And I like that mug, too.
Sorry about your card kit, but you got a LOT more than four cards by not getting the directions. You certainly DID make lemonade, Deb. Thanks for sharing your rain, your lovely cards and postcards, your new pots, and your decaf coffee with us for T this Tuesday, Deb.
I like how you put the project pieces together and used them even if you didn't do the original project. That large painting is amazing.
ReplyDeleteNice art, glad you got some rain.
ReplyDeleteYay for your rain! Boo for your lemon kit, but at least you got some nice cards out of it even if they don't pop up. Happy T Day Elle/EOTC xx
