I've put the Pink Martini Project on the back burner - for now. My mojo just wasn't working for me on this project. I'm sure I'll get a scathingly brillant creative thought for this project and then finish it with gusto. I've started a 6 x 6 mini album, prepping for the arrival of my GGS July kit. This mini album is going very well. I'm having fun putting the elements together using the papers, embellies, etc. I have on hand. Gonna go play a round of golf this pm. I won't be working on the album tonight. I have a tendency, when things are moving along creatively, to get over focused on projects. I won't be getting back to my mini album until tmo pm. (Golf League on Tuesday am.) Can't wait to post this mini. Tata for now.

Altering the Altered Cigar Box

Ok, so now I've decided to try another theme for my Pink Martini Box. Gonna experiment with a bling theme and a travel theme. It's off the Craft Cave for more R & D. Thank goodnes I don't have to finish this project until September 6. These things would go so much quicker if I could just act on my first ideas. Oh well, life the Weezie way.

Altered Cigar Box for the Pink Martini Lunch Silent Auction

A friend of mine has asked that I contribute something for the silent auction associated with a breast cancer fund raiser called Pink Martini Lunch she is chairing. She requested an altered cigar box. I decided to make and stationary box and include some handcrafted stationary. I am posting three pix of the front - one with bling, one with gold leaves, and one with only a vintage look. Could you take a look and let me know which you think is best. Thanks for taking a peek and offering your expertise.

I am absolutely so pumped about GGS. Can't wait for my first kit from Marion. I have visited all the blogs for which I have addresses. You GGS gals are creative beyond belief. I will be learning your techniques, styles and casing your work. I hope to post some more of my projects on my blog. I've never made a video; but, I'll have to take care of that in short order. Kinda of funny really, when you review the videos, the identifiers for each individual are hands and voices.

I added a slide show of some of my paper craft projects. I have joined Girls Gone Scrappy and hope to post more projects to my blog. All the Gkids are doing well and I'm having so much fun doing my Grammie thing. We've been working on the home improvement front and my time in the Craft Cave has been sparse. Boy, do I miss it. Of course, it is that time of the year when I am most frequently found on the golf course weather permitting. Tata for now.
