I make envelopes from magazine pages and calendar pages. I cut up newspapers (especially at holidays) to get pictures and captions I can use. I use tissue boxes as background and wallpaper samples are wonderful. Some are good for backgrounds and some for pictures. They're pre-pasted, so when you smear on the glue stick, they cling to the card like they never want to part. I was even checking out a lady's blouse in line at the supermarket, wishing I could snatch it off to cut up for cards. It's a disease! Card pox. There's no cure. You can recognize those who have it because they'll be covered with tiny flecks of glitter and might have a smear of glue or ink on their clothes.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493189870800125021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549633862321066496.post-34083465830885569742016-07-24T04:16:27.726-07:002016-07-24T04:16:27.726-07:00Wow what amazing recipes!!

For six months, he celebrated a National Day Of. It's the wackiest book and non-fiction. He had me falling off my chair laughing. His wife is such a good sport to go along with his zany idea and very witty also. It was an e-book I got from Amazon. You might like it. Unlike my week, it wasn't all about food. Maybe we'll do that again, but right now I need to take off the pounds last week added.<br /><br />Still enjoying the Five on Friday.

So much fun to check in with you, as always. ;) I love to see some of your new creative talents (I need to start making gift bag sets like that!!), your culinary talents (that pecan pie looks so good!...and I love that you show the failures like the jello too), and your classy tastes (your wardrobe and that amazing peacock tablescape!). <br /><br />I'll say that it's good thing I stay away from those national days...as you're right in how they all revolve around food! Lol!!<br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful and blessed week ahead my Dear.

I'm amazed that she was able to find so many peacock things for her table. My tables aren't nearly so glamorous, but they can actually be used for everyday.

I'm putting a few photos each week.<br /><br />About the clothes - if you notice the dates above them, I'm trying to see how long I can put together a new outfit each day. I just decided to do brown since I have so much of it (3 weeks now and still not finished). You might see winter clothes in August. As you can see by the number of the day, I have way too many clothes. <br /><br />By the way, I visit the Five on Friday every week, but sometimes it takes me all week to get to everyone. I don't always leave a comment, but I always enjoy the posts.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493189870800125021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549633862321066496.post-85733028314047122702016-07-18T02:35:50.404-07:002016-07-18T02:35:50.404-07:00What a colorful dressed table !
