She walks in beauty

 

She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright,

Meet in her aspect and her eyes...

        Lord Byron, (1788-1824)

Packing my bags...

Headed to Hartford, CT. this morning - this time for work... back on Friday. The third time traveling in three weeks, I am looking forward to a nice long stay at home for awhile when I return. But that won't happen until after Thanksgiving, sigh!

Oh this is a bit late... but for stylewannabe who commented on a previous post, asking what I do with my layouts with flowers on them - if they don't get crushed if I put them in an album - I no longer use albums. I used to have a stack of them but I got a bit lazy and stopped using them. I have been storing my layouts in these archival boxes from the Container Store. Storage space is always an issue though! But even if you do use albums, I find most of the flowers can be reshaped if they do get a bit smushed.

In the interim, I'll leave you with this card - I am not sure whether or not I shared this one already -- if I did, forgive me ... I made it awhile ago and thought I hadn't uploaded it. Just a quick card I made for a friend with some Making Memories paper - last season. The pennants are made using a triangle shape punch. I drew the line connecting the pennants with one of those flexible bendy rulers and a black pen. I know that's not the official name for them - but I can't think of what they are called! I recall that I wanted badly to stitch that top line but evidently not badly enough to get out my sewing machine! Envy all of you who have a permanent spot for your sewing machine and having it ready to go at any minute!

Oh and here's a vintage image of a lovely lass marked 'Souvenir'. And you thought I forgot all about those, didn't you?  I'll have some lovely Christmas themed greetings to share next week. Adieu, adieu, parting is such sweet sorrow...
