The Wonderful World of Bloggers and Internet -- Resources & Free Images

Hi everyone.  Haven't had much ambition to create lately, unfortunately.  Here's something I created a while back and I don't think I ever post it.  

Here are lots of awesome projects for inspiration from other artists and crafters and I'm sharing them with you here as well as some free images:

Generosity in Blogand Abounds!

No, I didn't just win a giveaway, or did I?  Here are some of the great loot of vintage jewelry I got at my friend's yard sale a couple of weeks ago.  She was so generous in giving me these without paying her.  Aren't they wonderful!  I can't wait to put them in some of my creations and really show them off. 

There's a ton of pins with bling, necklaces, watches.  See those cool lockets?  And all the religious medals.

Wonderful giveaways for you not to be missed:

 You have to see it to believe!!

I have been tagged for the first time by Debra at Muses and Mysteries
(Thanks Debra! You sure are sweet.)
Rules are as follows... when you get tagged you must...

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Mention the rules.
3. Tell six quirky yet boring, unspectacular details about yourself.
4. Tag two other unsuspecting online art friends...

My quirky things:

1) I hate someone shushing me if I'm being loud
2) I'm addicted to reality shows
3) I'm a compulsive "clearance" shopper. As soon as I'm in a store, my eye is on the clearance signs/racks/colors. I'm blind to the regular priced items for the most part.
4) I keep up with politics and pro football
5) I have Kerateconus in my eyes which is a rare disease that affects my vision, have to wear gas permeable lenses & Lasix surgery can't help me.

6) I always need to follow any meal with something sweet. My diet has failed long ago..... LOL!

The 2 people I'm tagging: Monique of Artiste Nouveau and Nola of Ink on My Paws
Let's continue the fun......chickies (wink)
