TEXTURE...Sammy & the Mosaic headboard


OK...OK....by now...anyone who is a "regular" here knows I am LATE on this entry for accountability...but...have you checked out my BLOG CANDY & proposal??...A bizzzzzzy bee am ME!....not grammatically correct...but, totally explains!...Thanks to my sweet friend Alex, California Stampin'..I have been able to keep the Just Beeeecause Blog Candy post at the top ( she was brilliant at helping out my tech-no challenged brain!)....and it will stay there ( just like a new post..how cool is that??) until February 29th...when I will choose at random a winner.....That gives you PLENTY of time to send in those beeeeeeeeeeeees for heros!

sooooooooooooooooooo...without further yammering.....here is todays post.....my sweet grandguy Sam....from January of this year.....He was so inquisitive and loving all of the colors..and the feel of the texture in my CUSTOM designed headboard....made by me! ( Yes, Mr. Lowes did all the cleaning and heavy lifting!).....We took a VINTAGE 8-pane window...and I adhered some of my collection of stained glass, rescued and recycled dishes, marbles and trinket boxes and grouted the whole thing.....VERY HEAVY!!...but screwed it securely into the wall above our bed...and VOILA!!...a headboard!....Cool Beans....huh?...I can tell you its a ONE and ONLY Original!!

ANyhoo....in my quest to use it up....I have embellished the layout with some assorted colored vellum I have had stashed away...along with some very fun colored shell buttons.

My bizzzzzzzzzy-ness as of late has also been consumed with my new CARD KIT CLUB that I am offering ....both local & long distance.....SO, if you are reading this...and are possibly interested....PLEASE email me and I will send the details!!!...no obligation....no commitment!

Thanks so much for everyone's comments and participation in my Just Beeeeeeeeeeecause cause....for Cards for Heros!!!
Creative blessings, Debbie

this headboard is awesome and your grandson looks like he plans on spending a few nights in your bed, checking it out with both hands and feet.
