A Good Book

I am reading a book : Woman of a Thousand Secrets

its really, really good ~ I am just a little past the half way mark ~ I haven't read a book in a long time. My mom brought it with her when she came to visit and I picked it up on saturday while laying out in the sun. It was nice to lay in the sun and read. I managed to get a little tan too. (just a little)

anyways, if anyones interested in the book its by Barbara Wood

Project in the Works

I know, I know........ Where have I been? Busy, and Even More Busier than usual. With my brother, nephew and parents visiting. And just daily life sometimes I cant even find 5 minutes to just say hi to all my followers. (like theres a ton!)

Well, I have been working on a project, Not done with it but itsssssss almost done. Just gotta add a little more to it.

I got a painting in Santa Barbara along time ago ~ real pretty lake scene with swans. Not really my cup of tea, but for some reason me and my mom fell in love with it. In fact its hanging up in her spare room. It was in a pretty frame off white with gold accents ~ solid wood and it had scroll detail on the frame edge. Well I brought the frame with me when I moved to vegas.

I had the frame on the wall with all my Vintage Rhinestone Initial pins ~ my mom took some card board and covered it with black velvet to show them off.

I went to a yard sale one Friday (yep, here they have yard sales friday, saturday and sundays!!! heaven) and found the exact same frame but only smaller. For One Dollar~ who could pass that up? Not me!

I bought it home and decide ~ Both frames need some "jazzin' up!" sooooo, my project is doing exactly that.

almost done when I am I will post some pictures.

but heres some more of my rhinestone initial pins
