Friends and Other Stuff

I was so very excited last night to get to meet

Dawn in person ! It is funny how we meet people through

blogs and then when we get to meet in real life it feels

like we already know each other ~

She is visiting Lisa and so last night Lisa, Dawn, Pat and I got

together just to chit chat for awhile before they were off

on their weekend of adventure ~




I have had company this week so haven't been

doing a whole lot of creating but the bug has gotten

me really badly !

One thing that I did was play around with Citra Solv

and printing images ~ it is soooo cool and washable which rocks !!

I just love the faded worn look that it gives ~







I was also trying different techniques for tattered roses

and really had fun making those too ~


The roses are on bags that I sell and the bags and pillows

are on my website too ~

I had a good time last night too. Was really fun to be with all of you. We need to get together more often.
Your roses look very pretty as does the rest of your work. I looked for you at the mall today. Missed you.
Hugs, Pat

They are beautiful! I don't know what citra solv is? I think it is tutorial time! They look so wonderful and faded. i have not yet met blog friends I was wondering if they are the same in person?

Oh mylanta...your bags are gorgeous! I WANT to learn how to do that technique...if I didn't think I would hurt myself in the process...lol!
I am a happy girl too. Lisa and Dawn stopped by Winnie and Tulula's yesterday and I got to play with them for a couple of hours. I was in heaven!

Hi Lori, your creations are absolutely beautiful as always!!! It's so nice that you got to visit with Lisa and Dawn... Lisa and I have been contacting each other thru email and I was suppose to meet them at Winnie & Tululas too but I end up having to go to the Doctor with a tendon problem in my foot, what a bummer!!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! hugs~~~ Daphne

Hi Lori: I'm new to your blog but am an old friend/fan of Dawn's. How can I find out about this CitraSolve? Don't know anything about it but it sure looks like fun. And if you want some nice tattered rose directions visit Tammy Tutterow's blog for directions on making crinoline tattered roses. I just finished a box which is on my blog with the roses on top. I'll be checking back in for sure!

Your images turned out great! I'd love to try it myself but craft time and I can't seem to find each other...yet! I'm lucky if I get my blog and website updated. Keep up the beautiful work!

How fun a blogger meet!

I love your pillows. I have had a bottle of citra solve forever and just kept forgetting to get a toner copy made. But, I did last week and I love it too.

Your roses are gorgeous.
