Hi Ya’ll out in cyberland.  This is the first official entry I am making all on my own.  The past entries were courtesy of my super duper partner —  Chucklebutt.  I am almost finished with week one of summer camp and I must say it has worn me out.  I am working for East Valley Children’s Theatre and I have about 60 kids.  We have two weeks to put up a show and it is crazy around here.

Chuck has been busy as well and is getting ready for his big, annual motorcycle rally — The Utah 1088.  He will drive over 1000 miles in a twenty-four hour period throughout Utah, Nevada and Wyoming.  He looks foward to it every year, although every year he never seems to be fully prepared.  I guess that’s what happens when you’re busy with life.

Anyway, I really want to use this blog to talk about some of my projects I’ve been working on.  The following pictures are of a book I made for my aunt and her granddaughters.  I purchased a large boardbook at Goodwill and sanded it down and then painted each page with various colors.  I found a great used book on girly things and clipped out the art to decorate each page.  I was lucky in that there were just enough pages for each granddaughter.  I had a lot of fun making it and hope that they are having a good time adding their pictures to it.

Above are the front cover and the first two pages. 

This was Francesca Bella’s page — Mark and Jen’s oldest girl.  I love the lady looking at the “F.” 

This is Siena Elizabetta’s page —  Brian and Amy’s youngest child.  I didn’t upload all the photos, because they didn’t come out that clearly.  Hopefully now that I have my own private still life photographer, I’ll have better shots.
