Here’s What I’ve Been Up To…

I have been having a fun time taking old hardcover books and making organizers from scraps.  They can be used for just about anything…photos, mail, coupons, recipes etc.  I have been making them for everyone.  They are really fun and go very quickly.  Please enjoy the photos!

 

Here is a look at one I made as a birthday gift for a friend.  For this one, I covered the inside cover with paper and then hand cut the flowers from another piece of scrapbook paper and glued those down:

Here is the same book as a close up:

 

Here is a photo of one my hubby keeps on his desk.  For this one, I just used paper to cover the inside covers:

Here is another view, as you can see he is already using it for his coupons for McDonalds:

Just fold the pages in half and decorate the inside of covers.  The book will always stay open, so there is no need to decorate the outside covers. 

Meet my BFF…

Well, you may have already met my BFF.  It’s Jean!  Here she is:

 

My best girlfriend was my mom, Jean.  Here is her picture:

She always wore hoop earrings, black was her favorite color and always had on sunglasses.  She has passed on, and I still miss her all the time…

 

My other BFF, is Mister.  I know it’s a guy, but Here he is:

 

 

Can you see a resemblance?

 

 

 

Thanks to everyone who played today!  It was really fun!  I will be around to visit your site and have a gander at your girls! (Maybe a few more guys will show too!

How To: Leave a Link When Leaving Comments

I hope you are all having a great week! I have had some of you ask how I leave my link when leaving comments on your blogs, so I thought I would share it with everyone. It's a simple code that I add at the bottom of my remark and here it is:


<a href=”http://YOURBLOGADDRESS.blogspot.com”>NAME OF YOUR BLOG</a>

So, for example, here is mine:
<a href=”http://queenbeestudio.blogspot.com”>Queen Bee Studio</a>

Want to leave your email address?...here's how to do that:

<a href =”mailto:YOUREMAILADDRESSHERE”>DISPLAY NAME</a>

Here is how mine would look:
<a href=”mailto:queenbeestudio@gmail.com”>Queen Bee</a>
 


Yes, you can post both codes at once. Have a wonderful day!
