How is everyone doing this very hot hot summer? We've had so many fires and since we live in the Sacramento valley the smoke all settles there and therefore here. The fires are from all over northern CA and we seem to get the bad air and smoke. It's the pits!!!
Sneezing, headaches, itchy skin and eyes and for me vertigo and tonsil problems is all part of the fun. I have vertigo all the time, but it was better last year but again I have back now.
Update on Midnight ---- I have not seen her at all. I don't know if that is good or bad.
I have been learning to stamp on metal since last fall. I have not been doing it as much as I would have liked because of my daughter having the baby last year, but he is 1 year old as of Sunday. So Happy Birthday to Rylan.

He really likes this batman ride that my son and DIL bought him.
Mixed together or alone they look fab!
I used a garden theme and sayings for these, tell me what you think of them???
The one with the light orange flower is made of felt, my felt flowers, it will be cute for fall/autumn and says "Bless My Bloomers"
The first bracelet closest to my hand is made with Vintage Bead Caps and rivets and says "Gather Seeds of Love"
The last one the furthest from my hand is made with flower bead caps and rivets and says "Nature is the art of God"
Practice makes perfect with hand stamping and it's not as easy as it looks, definitely a learning curve that I hope to accomplish as I go forward. I have been purchasing the supplies to do this for a year. It's a big investment all at once. I never knew how many tools I would need to use and learn to use. I love that!!
a bit of a vintage feel and look to this brass hand stamped bangle bracelet in copper
I love taking photos of all the angles, this one has the look of old but it's not, I like that it is brass
This one is obviously silver with a orange felt flower and a Swarovski Crystal Stud in the center
cute, cute, cute,
I am finally into the 21st century technology and broke down and purchased a smart phone. I bought a Samsung Galaxy S III, it's awesome...I love it.
I am going to hand stamping this week like crazy because I am going to sell some bracelet bangles I have made, this is just a few of the styles I have made so far.
I have not been blogging as much as I would like to or I could show more things I have made lately, like paper beads and more cards. I don't craft everyday but I guess it must seem like it. :)
Perhaps when I come back again I will have photos to post of our trip to San Francisco again and Half Moon Bay with a lighthouse. We are getting ready to take a little 2 hour drive into San Fran.
Have an Awesome Week
