~ Simply Sassy~

Hello  Friends!

I Love this Image from Paper Whimsy!

Doesn't She Look Like 

a Little Miss Sassy!

Her Eyes are Quite Beautiful 

and that Cherub Face!

I am Sure she 

Melted her Daddy's Heart 

and had him 

Wrapped Around Her Little Finger!

She was Made with Different 

Printed Papers I Have Collected 

and then glued to a 

chipboard Tag as a Base.

I Embellished her with an 

Old Watch Face and a Vintage Jewelry Find.

Mother of Pearl Buttons of Coarse,

Seam Binding Ribbon,

& Butterflies!

I Think I got Carried away with the Butterflies!

She will Be going to a Dear Friend!

I Hope she Enjoys Her as Much as I Enjoyed Making her!

 I am Linking up With Debra For Vintage Inspiration Friday!
Thank You Very Much Debra!

And this is My First time to Link up with 

Courtney of French Country Cottage and Feathered Nest Friday!

Thank You Very Much Courtney!

 This Morning I recieved a

Hello Every One! It feels so Great to get back to Creating!
My Muse Has been Whispering for me to get back to it.
I Managed to find some time to put
Amanda Jade
together .
She went to My Aunt for her Birthday.
My Aunt has always been such a
Great Supporter of my Work.
Even the Beginning stuff......
You Know what I Mean.
The Stuff that we thought was Wonderful then
and we see now...
Holy Cow!!!
"Please Aunt Sis don't Tell anyone I made that...
Tell them you bought it at a Garage Sale or something.!"
Lol!

This weekend was spent mostly Cleaning my Studio/work corner. It was nice to sort through everything and Organize it. Now most everything has a place and a Label. This is Kinda a New Something for me because I tend not to be the most organized person around. I think I drove my poor Mother Crazy when I lived at home. She Loves to organize and sort. She is my Girl when I need to go through my closet or cupboards! "Really!! you want to go through your Closet?! I will be Right Over!!" Lol! I really do appreciate her and her help!
My sister Julie is just like her. Julie is Mentally Disabled and lives with my folks. Julie Loves to Do Laundry! My Mom and Dad have the WHITEST Whites in town! Maybe even the Pacific Northwest! Julie Pesters me all the time to come over and do Laundry. To her it is the Equivalent of winning  Power Ball ! She is such a Good Kid! I call her a Kid, when she will be 58 in August AND my Older Sister! If you ever met her you would know what I Meant. My Husband Mark tells her to go get her wallet and gives her all of the Change in his Pocket for doing Laundry. She doesn't want Paper Bills... Just coins. She might have at any given time 25 dollars in change in her Wallet. Believe me when I say she knows Exactly how many Pennies, Nickels, Dimes and Quarters are in there! She is Great!  I Fondly call my Mother and Sister Frick & Frack!
Have a Happy Tuesday Everyone!
I have Procrastinated Enough and need to get back to
Finish my Studio/work corner! Lol!

~New Blog Button Part 2... I just can't Help Myself!.

 Hello again! I just can't Help Myself ...I think its my Perfectionist Alter-Ego!

That sounds good! I am Going with that! The previous button I Noticed on Charlene, Carol Anne and Julie's Blogs that it has a Black Margin around it. I think it might be the File I saved it in... Sooooo I remade it! I know.. I know...I am shaking my Head at myself too..
I kinda Like How this one turned out though....

~*~

The Button below is scaled to fit 

a 220width sidebar

Happy Wednesday! Again.......!!!
