My friend Charlene noticed my first attempt at an altered pie pan in my scrapbook room pictures. But my first attempt was a total disaster, so you don’t get to see it. Here is my second attempt.
I bought a regular old much-used aluminum pie pan at (where else?) the thrift store. I painted it with [...]

I was looking for sweater patterns to knit for my husband. Not because I can knit or anything, but because I like to torture him on occasion. Anyway, I came across this wonderful pattern book full of sweaters just for “men”! (I put “men” in quotes because I don’t know any actual men who would [...]

I’m often asked, “Mary (that’s what my friends call me is Mary), where do you create all these artistic masterpieces?” So I thought I would share some pictures of my scrapbook room. Perhaps you can use some of my organizational ideas.
First, is my pegboard that is approximately 1/3 the size of one wall. I’m sure [...]

I made a set of 3 altered canvasses for my mother for Mother’s Day. I used one 7×9 stretched artists’ canvas turned horizontally in the middle and a 5×7 turned vertically on each end. I mod-podged patterned paper to each canvas. (If you don’t know how to mod-podge by now, it’s because you have not [...]

My husband, kid, and I went to Texas this weekend for my cousin’s graduation party. We found a few funny signs, but Oklahoma and Texas don’t offer nearly the selection of funny signs that Arkansas does! Nonetheless, here’s what we found.
Apparently, God is a redneck. His house is on a gravel road, made of metal, [...]

I found this postcard at a thrift store a couple weeks ago. It had never been sent to anyone and I wondered why … okay, just kidding, I knew exactly why; but it’s fun to pretend I don’t. I assume the person who bought the postcard simply changed his or her mind about sending it [...]

Since today is Mother’s Day, I thought I would share a little something I made for my own mother. I also made her some altered canvasses, but I will show those later in the week. I made her a “card” out of an old CD.
First I used my Creative Memories circle cutter to cut a [...]

I’m sorry, Mr. Cosby, but I haven’t been able to locate any JELLO pudding recipe books. Yet. Give me time. I did, however, come across this jewel at my local thrift store last weekend. It’s called “Swappin’ Good Recipes Featuring Cottage Cheese Fittin’ For Clippin’.” I don’t know who put it out; probably someone from [...]

Our firm is looking to hire someone so I placed an advertisement in the classified section of the Kansas City Star this Sunday. I cannot believe some of the garbage we get! However, the absolute worst resume I have ever seen came across my desk yesterday. It is so disastrously bad that I had to make [...]
