Just checking in...

I'm overdue for a huge update and I've been working on lots of fun crafty things, unfortunately, none I can share just yet. (Just to give you an idea of what's on tap: a guest designing project or two in early October, a new Polka Dot Door blog hop, a lot more Pebbles projects and a new Studio Challenge.) So there's lots to come, just bear with me :)

While at the desk yesterday, I took this snapshot of some potential project material:
Picked up a ton of old thread at an estate sale a long time ago but had to toss the actual thread because it was too brittle. The spools, though, that was the prize. Cute, huh? Took the picture with my iPhone. Sometimes the camera in that phone amazes. me. Anyway...now this photo is my iPhone wallpaper.

I will be back soon!

Hi, Val! Just had to pop in and see what you were up to! LOVE the spool pic...I actually remember my mom using thread from similar spools, so that tells you how OLD I am - lol! Your scrapbook pages are always so amazing and full of wonderful details! Great inspiration!
