Happy 20th Anniversary

my friend

you are an example to many

marriages can work

our new generation

treats relationship like its a bag of M&M candies

you eat and when you don't want anymore

you just throw it away

Marriage is a process

I am 6 years into mine

and have a long way to go

We need to take bad with our good

never stop fighting or stop believing

in each other

support one another

love each other unconditionally

I hope you like what I've made for you...

ANNIVERSARY FANCY FRAME

First try

I baked the clay with waxed paper

TOTAL NO NO

it release toxic fumes in the

and warped my clay - I thought I could recover it by

adding silver paint in the lettering but decided to

redo again

Second try

 

Ahhh much better - Softer more subtle approach

 I pressed the clear stamp
on the polymer clay to match the wood frame flourish

INGREDIENTS
Wooden Fancy Frame - Michaels
Silver Polymer Clay - Fimo
Flourish Clear Stamp - Inkadinkado
Red Rubber letter Stamps - Hero Arts
Large Mesh Bling - In-Store coming soon
Mulberry Flowers - In-Store coming soon

 

Our marriage reached a growing point

We've rackup

Twenty Years

And Now it's time to celebrate

wine or several beer

it's time to settle back a while

enjoy the peace we've earned

because if we don't celebrate

out friends will be concerned.

Might add additional details personally for my Leslie

oh so happy for ya

Red-White-Blue Summer Steampunk Blog Hop (June 20th)

STEAMPUNK - [steem-puhngk] - Steampunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction, usually set in an anachronistic Victorian or quasi-Victorian alternate history setting. It could be described by the slogan "What the past would look like if the future had happened sooner." It includes fiction with science fiction, fantasy or horror themes. 

Medieval Steampunk: Speculative fiction set during the Middle Ages. 

Victorian Steampunk: A modern Science Fiction work (post-1930s) that is set in the early parts of the industrial revolution. 

Western Steampunk: Science fiction set in the American Old West. 

Industrial/Modern Steampunk: Science fiction taking place in the late industrial age, early modern age; i.e. World War 1, World War 2

steampunk is a growing trend that has taken a form of its own through fashion and in the crafting world.  Either you love it or you don't. Eclectic in it's own right and uniquely beautiful.  I have evolved in mycrafting abilities and now greatly inspired by the steampunk era.

Our theme was
Red-White-Blue Summer


What other way to celebrate but to
recognize Steampunk with American Pride

Teacher's Appreciation Day/Week Ideas

Hello Everyone

Just wanted to share things

I made for

Teacher's Appreciation Day/Week

I asked my children's teachers

what they needed or wanted?

"Anything is appreciated"

were their modest response

Our noble teachers are challenged every year

with new curriculumms,

obstacles and requirements

to help our students

succeed

I cannot understand why K-12 teacher pay scales are low

They spend majority of their time with our children

while we go to work

Teachers also come out of their own pockets to pay for materials

that are not supported by their own system

ALWAYS BUDGET CUTS

sounds familiar?

Education is important right?!

Some families are unable to afford the 3 page sheet of

school supplies needed as well

Our family is on a strict diet budget too

Coloring Medium Toned Skin and Dark Hair with Copics

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my tutorial for

Color Me Copic Club

Today I will be showing what I use for

Medium Toned Skin and Dark Hair

that could be for Hispanic, Asian, or African-American....

As we are an

AMERICAN MELTING POT

I myself am Mexican and Afro American

yet when you see me at times I could pass

for Philippino, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican,

Brazilian and the list go on and on

My family is a small melting pot as

we have

Mexican, African-American, Japanese, Polish, and

Puerto Rican in our blood for now lol

People would ask me what you consider yourself

either Mexican or African-American

which when I was young did not know how to answer that

I was raised by my Spanish speaking Abuela (grandma/nana)

this mind you REFUSED to speak English.

She is now 87 and still refuses to speak the language

Oh don't let her fool ya - she completely understands everything you say

BTW - I am proud to speak both languages fluently - Props to Abuela.

Nevertheless we are the color of the rainbow

so who is to say what is right or wrong way to color a complexion
