Hi! Despite the fact that less than an hour ago, I was down for the count due to an unplanned root canal today (sadly, part 1 of 2), I've gotten in quite a bit of bloggin' AND eBaying tonight! :-) I stayed home from Algebra, snuggled up to a couple of Vicodin, and slept on the couch for a few hours while Glen watched C-SPAN or "the span" as we call it. When I woke up, my face, jaw, and tooth kinda feeling close to normal. Unfortunately, I remembered that while I was "under the influence," I called my Mom and told her and my sister about my ordeal today. Just hope I was only my normal weird self and didn't confess anything incriminating! LOL!
Yesterday, I got the "inspiration" page done of from the Cabinet of Curiosities challenge that Kari and Bonnie are co-hosting so I wanted to share that with you!
To do the letters, I "inked" rubber stamps with PVA glue, stamped them,and then applied LOTS of glitter! Fun! Since I want to eventually hang this on the wall, I bought some aersol sealer at Michael's and sprayed it, hoping that this will keep the glitter from becoming a nuisance! We'll see! I did attach this to the other pages but didn't snap that picture yet. I can't wait to work on yesterday's prompt for my next page for the Cabinet of Curiosities. The prompt is "collection." Uh, I've got a few of those! (Did I mention I just bought two "lots" of buttons on eBay? ) See ya!
PoOr Michelle :( I know all too well what root canals are like, and I'll spare you the details. Glad your recovery is better than you feared.
Love your inspiration page. I could just hug it! (but then I'd be all covered in glitter, wouldn't I!
Thanks for the special delivery today :)

I feel your pain. I've been there. Love this inspiration page and thank you so much for the tip on stamping with glue. I'm writing that down in my inspiration journal because you inspire me and I don't want to forget. I think this one may become the focal point for me of your C of C banner.
