Wacky Pack Wednesday


This is another newer Wacky Package that I bought a few years ago.  Topps hasn't lost their touch.

Enjoy!

TT/Gardening


This week the theme over at Tag Tuesday is "gardening."  Thanks to the R. H. Shumway catalog, I came up with a collage style tag.  Love their old-time illustrations and fonts!

Enjoy, and I did buy some of their flower seeds!

New Plantings

I usually wait until May 15th, which was my grandmother's birthday, to plant annual flowers, but this year my daughter and I put in flowers on the 6th-- she was anxious to have her own flower pot.  I thought I'd post what they look like now then later after they fill in.






The spaces are planted with flower seeds.  And, yes, there are two sweet potatoes in there.  Last year I had one grow over six feet long.  Wish them luck!

Enjoy!

Morrison Collage

I saw this collage technique on scrapbook.com's gallery late last year.  Pretty cool, eh?  You cut one inch squares and arrange them, butting up against each other. You can also throw in a 1" x 2" piece here and there.  I glued mine to illustration board with a scrapbook paper border.


I made two others of my dearly departed pets.  This one is an ode to Jim Morrison of The Doors fame.  Sigh.  Ever wonder-- when my generation becomes nursing home residents, will they allow Jim Morrison posters on the walls and Led Zeppelin piped into the lounge?  Just one of the things I worry about.

Enjoy!

Wacky Answer

The answer to yesterday's (5-9-12) Wacky Pack shouldn't surprise too many folks: Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil.

Wacky Pack Wednesday


This product is still with us and probably in most homes as we speak so you won't get "foiled" by this Wacky!

Enjoy!
