altered state

Posted on November 15, 2007 by firstborn

with school outta my hair for awhile (a little over a week, halleluja!), i will have some much welcomed respite from all the school drama & more importantly,  have more time to CREATE at my leisure.  i plan to make the most of my time off from school…you betcha!

 it’s wicked late now, nearly midnite, but i still have some energy left to share my creative effort for AEM {day 15}.

remember these? scwip.jpg well, i finally have them done.  i had to make 4 for danielle’s matchbox ornament swap & here they are (i apologize for the poor lighting…i’ll try to retake pix in the am, when there will be natural light)>>>

& here are solo shots of each altered matchbox, all of which are in the style of “shabby chic”:

{danielle,  i will have this mailed to you via priority first thing the morning…i’m going to first take a better pix in the morning & then  email that pix to you…so you should get all these ornies to you by next tuesday :) ).

okay, that’s all for now…i am definitely ready to go nite-nite….until next time, happy dreams! xoxo
