Memories...

This weekend is my class reunion.  I am in charge of games and prizes, boy did they pick the right person!  When I told my husband that my blog post today was going to be about the games, he said why.  Well, in response to him, I informed him that not all creativity is always about what you make, you can be creative in many ways.  He still didn't agree but it's my blog not his! 

BTW, this picture is of a pillow that I made before graduation that has all of the names of my classmates cross stitched on it and then it was signed by everyone.  It is a great keepsake.

What to do for a reunion...bingo was an early thought but making all of the cards seemed like a bit much.  Before the games begin, (LOL) let me tell you that in my graduating class there were 44 people and about 200 total student at the high school.  We pretty much knew everyone so there will also be people from other classes attending.  Everyone always thinks it is weird to have so few people but it was great.

On to the games.  Since we graduated in the 80's it gave me a lot to work with.  My first game is a trivia type game.  It is broken down four categories, the first is the year 1986 and the second is matching the event to the specific year it happened.  The third and fourth sections are more trivia, one is entertainment and the other is trends and fads.  It really brought back memories researching this.

The next activity is the bucket list.  There is a list of 40 things ranging from accomplishments to travels and more.

The one that I just finished last night and it the replacement for bingo is name that tune with out music only a line or two of lyrics.  This is harder than you think!  My husband was the guinea pig for this one.  He struggled and he is a music trivia whiz.  Hopefully everyone will have a great time, it's always nice to reminisce and catch up on where life has taken us all.  Good night all!

Heartthrob Cafe Memories

The best job ever and the coolest friends that I ever had were when I worked at a restaurant called the Heartthrob Cafe.  It was in downtown St Paul, Minnesota and was so fun!  Today we had a get together to catch up and reminisce.  This is one of the many good things about facebook, finding people that you wished you never lost contact with.  So, today my post is the buttons that I made for this event.  We had 'flair' that was a lot more fun and cool than a restaurant chain that I will not name here.  We danced and sang birthday songs.  The girls wore poodle skirts and we did all of this while wearing in line skates.  We were a crazy family and honestly this was one of the best times in my life.  Ahhh...memories. In the time spent there somehow the button machine came into my possession.  In honor of our gathering, of course I had to make pins.  Here are also two murals that I painted at the restaurant.  Let me...

Too many ideas!

When is comes to this time of year, my mind goes into creative overdrive.  I realize my posting is much less now that my original goal has been met, but believe me, I am still making stuff.  There are about ten Christmas gifts in the works as well as my calender drawings.  Current projects involve sewing, crafting, drawing and crocheting.  I am proud to say that a good chunk of gifts are already done or close to being done, yeah!  Working in a fabric store has definitely boosted my creativity and some days too many ideas are crowding my mind.  Because funds are still low for us, I have been buying things bit by bit every payday.  It helps to not have to blow an entire paycheck all at once.  This also is good because with my discount on top of sale price, I have gotten some incredible deals. Add caption Today, my post will be the first of my calender pages.  There are two finished so only ten to go!

Mosaic Circle

A thrift store find for less than a dollar.  I think it was a display of some sort at one time possibly with a glass top.  It is smaller so maybe for a cheese display, I'm not sure.  It's about seven inches around and has a ridge that had something that fit into it, your guess is as good as mine.   The first thing I did was flip it over to the smooth side and paint it black, then painted small pebbles shapes all over it in white.  The color scheme was random, first I added the green, then the blue.  I was going to leave it at that, but it needed more.  The gray and pearl paint were last minute decisions.  After the 'pebbles' were dry, they were outlined in the white.  It kind of has a mosaic effect, but it is all paint.  It's a new addition to my big wall of art projects.   Wow, three months down, nine to go.  I have doubted myself lately, but I ...
