Andy Griffith sad news

We live about an hour from Mt. Airy, NC, Andy's birthplace. It is the town the fictional town of Mayberry was based on. We love "The Andy Griffith Show" and are saddened by the loss of Andy Griffith today. By the way, the actress who played Thelma Lou on the show, Betty Lynn, actually moved to Mt. Airy to live a few years ago.

Lastest craft project: Barbie Hatboxes

Supplies

Paint anywhere you don't want brown to show.

I printed Barbie logo on scrapbook paper for the cover. Scrapbook paper to cover sides. I found heavier paper

worked better for sides (not cardstock, cardstock worked

well for top and bottom)

I lined inside of top and bottom, and covered sides. I used

Alleens's Fast Grab Tacky Glue and also a gluestick.

Punched two holes and insterted eyelets (found in scrapbooking

section at craft store) and insterted cord. Tie knots at ends of

cord on inside. Glue cord as trim around the top and bottom.

I added pink flowered tissue paper for the inside (purchased at Dollar Tree). I think they turned out kinda cute!

Memorial Day

New Project

I started a new afghan ..a free pattern sheet from AC Moore, Simple Ripple Baby Afghan using Caron Simply Soft in Soft Blue and Country Light Blue. I'm still working on my doily, but I always have 2 or 3 thing going at once!

Book Sale!

I recently went to an annual book sale and found these three beauties! I love fashion books, and this one spotlights five designers. One very interesting one is Adrian, he designed for movies and later had his own fashion line. He was from 40's and later. The Barbie books shows clothing made for Barbie from 1959 til 1967, the details and accessories for her were amazing. And the jewelry book has scrumptious photos of jewelry.
