Hello...I am DESPERATELY trying to finish up the last few pages for a Marie Antionette page swap that I joined last May! Hokey Pokey! I was so excited for this swap when I first started but then I had a crazy, busy summer then Silver Bella then the flu and this swap, was a casualty of my mad, mad life!!
The good news is that I have nine of the fifteen pages finished so I'm on the home stretch! Here are two examples of what my pages look like...
Even though I haven't started working on the cover of the book yet, I have been adding pages to it as I receive them and I'm alreaady in love with how it's starting to look!
In other news, Glen and I went to OMSI, our local science museum, a couple of weeks ago for a little date. We had such a fun day and then finished it by going over to visit Miranda. Here are a few random pictures from that adventure...
I am CRAZY for this picture! It's a goat skullI sitting on a fossilized rock. It's my new favorite and just added it to my new Inspiration Set on Flickr!
View from OMSI parking lot...
Inspiration found in the front window of Flutter on N. Mississippi.
That's all for now! See you soon, my friends!
Your pages are gorgeous, and date nights keep us in love!

You cannot rush art. If you rush it the art will no longer be a master piece. So be patient don’t be desperate.

I can't wait to see your swap book all put together. It already looks gorgeous. All that lovely texture.

Oh so good to see you, Michelle. And funny and handsome Glen! I feel blessed. Your pages are so yummy. I have been thinking of you, as I am buying a sewing machine "dedicated to paper and crafts." Katie and I had bought one together when she was in high school and then she bought out "my share" from me to take it to college. She doesn't want me to ruin it. Someday, I want to do beautiful fat books like you!
Hugs to you!

Michelle,
I read on facebook that you have a stress fracture. :-(
Been there, done that! Mind your doctor and do as he says and hopefully it will heal soon. This is one of the things that happens to us over-achievers.
Healing hugs to you, Cheryl
