{ Photo Moment } Sunny Blue Skies and Rain?

Just got back from the Art On The Block event at Fasi Civic Center grounds and it was a beautiful day except it was drizzling off and on all day. Here's a beautiful rainbow over the Punchbowl area.

{ Work In Progress } Blippie Purse: 5 More Tonight....

I just finished five more Blippie Purses that were not on the list or was forgotten.

These set (Style #5) has been added to my Picasa Web Album.

Next up, I need to design a men's style bag. I'll do this on the weekend.

More Blippie Purses To Make...

Looks like this week I'll be making additional Blippie Purses, about six or so, for those that weren't on the original staff list. Also, the guys felt left out, and I was asked if I could do something for the guys. This will be a challenge for me, but I think I have an idea...we'll see what I come up with.

Until next time...

{ Work In Progress } Blippie Purse: Construction Ahead...

It's almost 1:30 in the morning and my place is a mess and I'm getting really sleepy. I spent the whole night cutting out alot of pieces on my Craft Robo, that will be used to embellish these Blippie Purses.

I'm laying out all the pieces before I glue them down tomorrow (Friday night) and start decorating them.

Good Night!

Until next time...

{ Work In Progress } Blippie Purse: 40+ and Ready For The Next Round..

I finally finished covering all 40 binder clips and I'm ahead of schedule. Next step, is embellishing it and I'll do that tomorrow night. I'm exhausted!

Ooops, I counted wrong, there's actually 42! I made some extra just in case I screw up.


Until next time...

{ Work In Progress } Blippie Purse: Halfway There...

I manage to get alot done tonight. I got about 14 binder clips fully covered and another 6 last night. Hope to get the other half done in the next two nights. The hardest part comes this Friday and the weekend, when I embellish each and every Blippie Purses.

Until next time...

No More Shopping...

I better stop shopping and need to finish the 40 Blippie Purses by next week Monday, and I still have taxes to do too!

I bought a few odds 'n ends yesterday and today at Fisher Hawaii because all scrapbook stuff are 25% off.



All the stuff I bought today were 25% off except the Fiskar Non-stick scissor.



Anyway, I started working on the Blippie Purse a few days ago...

I better get back to work...

Until next time...

I bought a few things at J's Knicknacks: (Top row: DCWV 12x12 solid glitter cardstock in light blue, white, purple, silver, pink, green and nursery-girl flowers pink (first paper, second row). I also got a couple of regular pattern paper.

Topping It Off

Yesterday during my break, I found this at Ross's in Downtown...


(It's a 16x20 SuperBoard in Midnight Granite)

This would be perfect as a table top for my Rig-a-ma-jig, because of its large size, I had to modify my "Rig" again.

Here's a before photo...



And after...


(It's nearly finished...the middle section is just temporary until I get another longer pipe. This setup will do for now.)

Here's what it looks like with the top on...



I also modified the hangbar...



Here's a great idea...

Anyway, I think I'm done with this. Who knows, it'll get modified again in the future.

UPDATE!
Oh wait! I got a better idea...I took off the metal hanger from the hangbar (see fifth photo above) and placed it on the side of my "Rig"...

Until next time...
