Welcome to my blog, The Diamond
Dragonfly
It has been
a very wonderful week. I cannot explain the relief of getting that huge
varicose vein removed from my right leg. My son will be 45 this year and my leg
blew up after a gazillion hours of labor in 1969 and it has felt like a red hot
poker has been in my leg all these years. The surgical sites are sore but the
pain lessens daily.
Only the
back page remains to be finished in my little paper bag journal. Using ‘scraps only’
has been a rewarding experience. The pages
were spritzed with an home-made alcohol based glitter, the DP stamped with a home-made
mosaic stamp and then embossed. The Bay Leaf
seam binding from RRR was a little piece that was sitting around. Buttons were
picked from the treasures in my bag of old buttons. At home we had to cut the
buttons of everything and then cut cottons into rags, woolens into strips for Granny’s
hooked rugs.
Another fun, family friendly
challenge with a wholesome sentiment, and ‘of course’ it is “Anything Goes” as far as styles or projects.
This is our 136th challenge. We also have a Facebook page found here Thank you

So glad to hear you are recovering well Carole. This is a beautiful piece of work - love how it has been made from just what you had on hand.

Carole, these pages are darling. I love the colours and patterns. It is a wonderful use of the scripture and the tag stands out as a beautiful piece on its own.
Blessing hugs,

I LOVE this project, Carole. I'm especially drawn to the butterfly in the upper right, and wondered if he came like that, or if you stamped that postal image on him. ADORABLE! I also love the ribbon underneath the other one. SO creative. I feel so incredibly blessed to have you on our team. You are such a blessing to me, and to so many others. Love you, my friend.
