Well, just got home from my walk, trying to walk everyday now...this is my 3rd day at it. Now I'm back in the craft room ready to work on a new mini for a gal going through breast cancer. Will post pictures when I finish..hope you are all having a great day.

romance mini

The flowers on the front were made with baby wipes and I colored them with different colors of ink..so fun. Wish you could see the cute angelpin on the top.
This mini is all about love. I made this one for a sweetie on facebook. We have a fun game going called"pay it forward" so I decided to gift her with a mini album. it's just filled with spots for pictures and journaling. Can't wait to give it to her this week.


On the back are different color beads and ribbon.

mini album

This mini was made for my doctor this Christmas and it was beautiful. Lots of glam and glitter.
This book could hold well over 30 pictures. Very proud of this one.

mini album the great outdoor and baby book

 
This was a fun mini to make. It was for a neighbor of mine who does a lot of camping. The camper you see on the pictures looks a lot like theirs.
I put in a lot of places for pictures and journaling.
I used envelopes for this mini.
This mini was also made out of envelopes. This one was for a gal who's daughter was having her first baby.


the heart opens up to hold 5 pictures.

Beginnings....


This was my first album I made for my friend Sue. She was going to be a grandma for the first time.
 
 
 
Then I made this next one for my daughter Tosha. 
 
 
Check this one out....this one I made for Tosha after she got her chickens so she could take lots of pictures and journal her experience with raising chickens. 
 
 
 
The paper is so cute. The book turned out really nice.

Six years ago I became ill..the final diagnosis was lupus. a couple of years ago the doc made me retire. After being a nurse for several years I found myself at a loss of what to do with my time. Meet some wonderful ladies who invited me to their quilting guild..no experience in sewing..no problem they all helped and before you know it, I was quilting like crazy.
Next came rug hooking, primitive style..loved it.
Jewerly making..oh yea.
Then one day I decided to check out the Senior center in town and met my sister from a different mother. She was teaching mini albums. Now I have done some scrapbooking years ago but this is a whole new ballgame.
Now what does one do when they love it all....just do it!!!!!!!!

Oh yea, wondering why "Seedi Mouse," ...came from my mom who called me this from little on because I loved to curl up in quilts in her ceder chest...so now I hope you will follow my adventures into my mad world of crafts. will be posting some pictures soon.
