Working on Shadow Boxes

What a great day!  I was able to get together with some friends and have them work on their Shadow Box Book projects.  They both decided they wanted to do something a little different than what we had planned.  They wanted to use the theme Fall and Halloween.  They both came out great.  Donna and Brooke worked really hard all afternoon.  Here are a couple pics of their projects.  We are getting our heads together to come up with some new project ideas for the holidays so please stay tuned.  Hope everyone has a great week!

Board Meeting

Morning Crafters!!  The board of HHC's took off for the weekend.  Tammy has the best boss ever!  He let us use his home in Angel Fire, NM.  It is beautiful there!...and very cool.  Most days got up to 77 degrees.  Tammy and I both were celebrating our birthdays and Prissy was our present.  LOL!  We had a great time.  We all considered this our monthly board meeting.  We took some crafts to work on.  Tammy & I practied our Copic coloring and Prissy did some sketching.  It was great.  We also spent a day in Red River and did the tourist thing.  We all hated to come back but we had too.  We have some ideas running through our heads so please stay tuned for details. 

What's Going On

Just thought I would pop in to show you what I've been doing.

I started drawing a series of "Skelly"  friends . They are" Esmeralda and Edmund ". I'm currently working on making stamps from Esmeralda and Edmund. For now they are canvas paintings.The other two thirds of this Happy Hour group share a birthday (which makes it very easy for me to remember B-Days). I wanted to share with you what I shared with my two friends.

If you read any of our blogs you know Tammy is the tech helper to Freddie and I. She is in the know when we have NO clue of how or what to do. We would still be using a string and a tin can for communication if she was not here to help us. Here is her very own Esmeralda as " Techno Chick ".

I truly hope you have stopped by Freddie's blog to see all the treasures he creates. You will not be disappointed. Lots of goodies to look at over there at  Just-A-Craftin. So here is Freddie's Edmund appropriately " Just-A-Craftin ".

     Happy B-Day my fellow Happy Hour Crafters.

Paper Cowgirl Art Retreat

I had to share this!  Prissy and Tammy have gone to Waxahachie,TX for the Paper Cowgirl Art Retreat this weekend.  They are taking a couple of the classes and these pics show what they made in the first class.  They made a soldered flower necklace.  The first pic is of Tammy's.  I think is looks great!  I love all the little details.  She worked really hard on this.  She said she had to get some help in the end because her hands starting hurting.  The second pic is a close up of Prissy's.  It's beautiful...don't you think?  She said pictures do not do this project justice, they look better in person.  I can't wait to see them.  They are working on another project today.  Hopefully we will get more pics so I can share some more.  Please leave a comment and let the girls know what you think of their necklaces.
