Well, it is about 90 days to spring....yikes that seems like along time. How about we get creative and make time fly. If you would like to make someones spring come a little faster....how about a valentine surprise. Each person would send out 2 "happy" packages and receive 2 in return. It can be anything you want..use your imagination..card, something pretty to look at, candy, craft, cookies, you know all the needful survival supplies....just something to brighten the day and let it be known spring is on its way.<br />If you would like to play contact me and I will hook you up with 2 shivering people who will also be playing.....by feburary 14 th we will even have the mailman smiling as he is sloshing his way to your mailbox.<br />I will be drawing names on january 17 th so let me know as soon as possible. Tell your friends....the more the merrier. I will need your address information, so a little bit of sunshine can be sent your way.<br />jackie<br />moonbeam@hughes.net<br /></div></div>jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09140415607098736574noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989194532739293293.post-77892692656935777442010-12-16T14:40:00.000-08:002010-12-16T14:49:41.228-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjQSpM2uq3UTiTkwKR6gyUXDPH8kNIv5ROg0ALsikcypFiMzZ1U2BDfuB-9kqMdch4lWCWvL8W3lVlZqE9ZL_Arw_wNTavOHsxGyLkcBSKJLmyhdb5mFsL-8xBF1P2ddM1ppg493rOa3A/s1600/village.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551415792802922610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 260px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjQSpM2uq3UTiTkwKR6gyUXDPH8kNIv5ROg0ALsikcypFiMzZ1U2BDfuB-9kqMdch4lWCWvL8W3lVlZqE9ZL_Arw_wNTavOHsxGyLkcBSKJLmyhdb5mFsL-8xBF1P2ddM1ppg493rOa3A/s400/village.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">O.K.

Now Waynesburg is in the middle of nowhere....and there is NOTHING else to do for at least 26 miles in any direction.The hours were posted on the website and the door.... 11:00-4:00 Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Hanging right above that was a big fat CLOSED sign, to the left was an explanation that shows were too time consuming and the shop would remain unopened until late November. We peeked in the window and wanted in to spend our money, when in the driveway pulled a vehicle, OH BOY, I was positive the owner would not mind walking the few steps from her residence to the little shop and then driving to the bank with all of our money. Nope a quick rebuff and she went on about her day....and ruining ours. hmmmmm think I will just skip it.</span></div>jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09140415607098736574noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989194532739293293.post-53512467952228785222010-10-30T18:23:00.000-07:002010-10-30T18:43:36.348-07:00<div><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">Halloween at the Ludwigs<br /></span></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJHW69nhdp_fbnFZDW42suwgJjDCybi6nkhyphenhyphen83oRwdt4tftGr3BYDkUx-6qwjlU7raAfDoEFmMwj_5nAroZPpdTujNWu6O_eyahAfSZ9tXzjazXCkU0qinSSDpFl1hz0svaCk7fB4jJaw/s1600/b+and+g+punkins.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534016520350151522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 255px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJHW69nhdp_fbnFZDW42suwgJjDCybi6nkhyphenhyphen83oRwdt4tftGr3BYDkUx-6qwjlU7raAfDoEFmMwj_5nAroZPpdTujNWu6O_eyahAfSZ9tXzjazXCkU0qinSSDpFl1hz0svaCk7fB4jJaw/s400/b+and+g+punkins.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkmISyfXjjV2sTaHQXQyBsvBc4B68ILGu0HvT0wigq3fe5B19XFzAmvGuBJte1xLRw1vMZbT3sheF6rNr20zRNprBGkVZwN6oczglmS0M5Wv5HhDSAdEpuJ2JnAc-KU5LQW3orLkGDBJ4/s1600/c+nad+j+punkins.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534016202982326914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkmISyfXjjV2sTaHQXQyBsvBc4B68ILGu0HvT0wigq3fe5B19XFzAmvGuBJte1xLRw1vMZbT3sheF6rNr20zRNprBGkVZwN6oczglmS0M5Wv5HhDSAdEpuJ2JnAc-KU5LQW3orLkGDBJ4/s400/c+nad+j+punkins.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:130%;">Last week started out like this....a night of craving "punkins"...O.K. so my kids are 28 and 35 but what the heck....kids are kids no matter what the age on the week of Halloween.

I popped them out with doubled sided tape from the home improvement store at different levels sure made nice depth and shadows. A coffee filter sprayed with distress ink and perfect pearl mixture made the very delicate rose for the corner. The font I used for "play on" was tilez. Glossy accents hold the box feet in place on the bottom, I decided to grab my alcohol ink pen and knock back the color a bit on the feet. Digging back into my new papers, this time the retro grunge, cuttlebuged a scalloped hexagon and fan folded a top accent with a bead from an old necklace for the center.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">TA-DA</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">DONE</span> </strong></div>jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09140415607098736574noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989194532739293293.post-71594072522277341532010-05-10T06:21:00.000-07:002010-05-10T06:55:47.351-07:00<div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;">The craft-a-Poloza has come to a close....</span><span style="font-size:130%;">darn, it was fun.

The team worked like a well oiled machine to make everything go smoothly. Much was easily accomplished in a restricted time frame thanks to fabulous planning. A big thank you to Mario and Darcy for all their help. The first 2 classes were tags mainly to focus on technique....and boy, did we. Little tricks that expand the uses of Ranger products, from distress pads to alcohol ink. All I can say about the new alterations dies from sizzix is WOW. So many applications and they are just perfect.....the texture fades are just awesome. We also put alot of the idea-ology item to work on our projects. Again perfection.Stampers anonymous gave us an atc stamp, I thought that was very generous of Ted. So all in all,not only is Tim a charmer but a "think out side the box kinda designer". If you can, try to squeeze into one of his classes......This man does not disappoint.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464154942890041314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 377px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFessjZSWPsKLKALusV0g_g_6IqTJeS5YNqecezjaYtbsS6rTGKmq8YMRiq9PyaFA6u0ZKIfcY5wppS7IB9A7TT-vdJV5C28GN241d-5riG1O6S-EqYFoID5U0JomacIdKy_ESiMxgSmc/s400/friday.jpg" border="0" /></span></div></div>jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09140415607098736574noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989194532739293293.post-66748297017626399992010-04-16T15:46:00.000-07:002010-04-16T15:54:11.933-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy7DOvMrpVh3ODGzsGyGjb4DyDTiNco8ut5PGrhNEKyMKpSXgPK6R7XN7ELJ1Y4wlhtt8c400zUlhDpnUuyL8NhPH4nmb53tvvsW3VF9Rlz6_aG4GWKtay4JASjJeJB7zw6zb4aUfbU9c/s1600/working.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460870885014859826" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 399px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 277px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy7DOvMrpVh3ODGzsGyGjb4DyDTiNco8ut5PGrhNEKyMKpSXgPK6R7XN7ELJ1Y4wlhtt8c400zUlhDpnUuyL8NhPH4nmb53tvvsW3VF9Rlz6_aG4GWKtay4JASjJeJB7zw6zb4aUfbU9c/s400/working.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"> working, working, working, O.K.

Chrissy and I had just finished lunch at the Cadillac Ranch and jumped in the car to go to the movie....when I realized her purse was under my butt....maybe I should not have had that second beer at lunch...and I bet she was wishing I had not had that <span style="font-size:130%;">BIG</span> hamburger. Oh well, everything survived and Alice in wonderland was so perfect for me......visually outstanding. I am usually way to fidgety for movies but I was sorry to see this one end. <div align="left">I also got news on my birthday I had won Wendy </div><div align="left">Vecchi's blog give away....I never ever win anything....and it was on my birthday ! I don't know if you visit Wendy's site but she is so talented I just love her flair for distress.....be sure and stop by <a href="http://studio490art.blogspot.com/">http://studio490art.blogspot.com/</a> I am sure you will like her and she has a new book out, looks pretty darn good. I am very patiently waiting on my surprise package from her to arrive and I will let you know all about it. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="center"></div>jackiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09140415607098736574noreply@blogger.com2
