Wacky Pack Wednesday

In keeping with the Halloween theme for Wackys this month, here is an oldie but a goodie.  Just the thing for cleaning a haunted house. Who remembers this pump type sprayer?? 

Enjoy your day!

TT/Tattered and Torn

Tag Tuesday's theme this week is "Tattered and Torn." So I used the picture of this 1891 Psalm book from my Etsy shop.  It's very tattered. The background text is from an equally tattered pocket Bible I've had forever. The copy of the signature tucked under the string is from the inside of the Psalm book dated 1894. As you can tell, I then abused the poor tag; roughed up the edges, inked them, tore the hole, taped it... It was kind of fun not to worry about smudges or glue marks. It will be interesting to see what the other taggers come up with.


Happy Tuesday!

Smashing Art and Smashing On

I "smashed" two more pages in my "Favorites" Smash Book. I chose favorite paintings. I imagine most folks will recognize at least a couple of them. Click on the photo if you want to read the small print.

And... yes, I bought 2 more books.  Amazon had them as "add-on" items for five bucks each.  Too good to pass up as I was ordering from them anyway (started Xmas shopping).

I decided to use one for favorite quotes and finished one page so far.

Happy Saturday-- hope you see some flowers!

Train ATC

Think Monday, Think ATC has an intriguing theme this week: Train.  I have several old playing cards in my collage stash that feature trains.  I liked the bright green on this one.

All aboard!

Wacky Answer

So who wants to give away their age by admitting they drank Tang in the 70s?  I did, although I never much cared for it. We even had a Tang pitcher-- narrow glass with an orange top. Tang goes back to 1959 but didn't catch on until the '60s when NASA began to use it. The inventor also came up with Cool Whip and Pop Rocks among other products.  Who knew?  So for anyone who was dumbfounded by yesterday's (10-2-13) Wacky, Fang, it was Tang.

Wacky Pack Wednesday

I decided to go with Halloween type Wackys again this year for the month of October. Up first, is an old favorite of mine. I read they still make it-- I haven't had any since the 70s! It definitely no longer comes in a glass jar.

Enjoy your day!

TT/Beads, Buttons, and Bows

Tag Tuesday is using embellishments this week as the theme is "Beads, Buttons, and Bows."  I don't have many beads, and when I read the theme, I thought of the old song "Buttons and Bows" from the movie The Paleface with Jane Russell and Bob Hope. So I found an image of the sheet music and went from there.

Now try not to get that song stuck in your head-- I've done enough of that lately to cover everyone!
