When inspiration hits...

...strange things can happen.

First, your floor can turn into a huge mess:
(please ignore the uglier than ugly rug)

Why?
Because four years after I took my wedding pics out of the crappy original slap-them-on-here-and-be-done-with-it-album, I actually did something with them.
[gasp]
I'm making a 8x8 album from all the snapshots and later on a separate portfolio for the professional shots.
Here's the intro page:

The album will be kraft cardstock, assorted papers in tans, blacks and reds, hand-cut inked hearts, 7 Gypsies stickers and all the rest of my Basic Grey rub ons.
Yes all of them.
They better be coming out with new cool ones at CHA summer is all I'm saying...

I can't believe I wore that poofy dress...so very early 90's.
I mean I had a huge bow on my butt...
Beautiful though, my sister's dress.
Handmade.
Stunning.
Tawny, you have it packed up right?
I wonder if we can make any of our girls actually wear it...heheheee....

A tidbit of info on my wedding...
You have no idea how hard it was to find pink sweet peas for my bouquet the first week of August.
I had to order some and hope they got them.
Not quite the flower in season....

I also did something else yesterday.
I picked up my oil paints.
Well, new ones really since I haven't painted in ..what...18 years? 19?

First installment:

There will be a second one to go next to it.
Painted using a spatula (I think that's what it's called), so there's cool texture. That doesn't quite show in the photo.

I'd forgotten about the paint and turpentine fumes though.
A natural high.
heeeeeeeeeeeeee...
