WOYWW #900

OK hoping for this work.....since 2025 unable to post Photos.. all the print is small. Happy #900 to all my old and new friends. As time goes by I've slowed down a lot. Hubby and I are gone a lot on 1 day trips within Iowa...And now he's preparing for field work coming up shortly. My latest time spent going thru totes to destash all the items I've saved over the years. BOOKS, FABRIC, GLASSWARE, my Sons TOYS, etc....I sorted out 3 large totes of PHOTOS..divided up by family's, friends and grandkids. We still have our Cat "Bailey" 17 yrs old and seems to have great conversations with me all day....His brother Baxter died 12 yrs ago.... and we have several Barn Cats that seem to love their life here. My Military Son will retire 2027...turned in his paper work and will stay in Virginia area as wants his 3 daughters to be able to finish High School and keep the friends they make. They've travelled all over the world for 30 some years. We were able to visit most all places all these years. My 2nd Son and family live about 200 miles southeast of our home in Iowa. He is an electrician Oldest Son graduated from Iowa State Univ and is employed as a Civil Engineer, Daughter Cami attending 2nd yr at Univ of Iowa, had 1st yr at Arizons State. sometype of Sports Health. 2nd Son just graduated High School and is learning Electricians Ed. I've been creating Mixed Media small journals from all types of papers for quite sometime. Well not much else for me PHOTOS still cannot be loaded on my blog yet it's now 3 AM here and going thru terrible winds and heavy rains. Hoping we keep electricity. Best Wishes to All Sylvia Iowa USA

USED US MAIL ENVELOPES.....

Hi everyone,  

It's been a while since I've posted ......Summer has went fast and  My husband and I take quite a few Day Trips within IOWA  ..... just to get away.  Soon he will be in the fields for Fall Harvest Combing Corn and Soy Beans. It's a weather  situation and  the job goes day and night because of it.

I saw one of the most enjoyable posts that kind of had me make this post.  Maybe take time to visit if you are interested.      https://www.sumoftheirstories.com/blog/collage-with-the-insides-of-security-envelopes

I have saved envelopes for a couple of years.  WITH GOOD INTENTIONS OF USING THEM  and  now I really have some great ideas   THANKS to Julie at Sum of their Stories  

AND NOW I CANNOT SHARE THE PHOTOS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

ONE YEAR ago this started    Could find no help   so I  tried  AI...

To make sure your Samsung photos are syncing to your Google Account:

1. Check Backup Status on Phone: Open the Google Photos app on your Samsung device. Tap your profile picture at the top right to see if it says "Backup complete."
2. Enable Device Folders: If you've moved photos to a specific "Downloads" folder on your phone, you must tell Google Photos to back up that specific folder:
   • In the Google Photos app, tap your profile picture > Photos settings > Backup.
   • Tap Back up device folders and ensure the toggle for your Downloads folder is turned ON.
3. Verify Account: Ensure you are signed into the exact same Google Account on both your Samsung phone and your desktop browser at https://photos.google.com.

For more detailed troubleshooting, you can refer to this guide:

• https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6174018

Once you turn on backup for that folder, do the photos start appearing on the website for you?

WHO KNOWS IF I CAN DO THIS>>>>................................... LIFE IS NOT SIMPLE AS WE AGE.

I'll be back if I CAN FIGURE THIS OUT.   WHY ?  GOOGLE WHY ?

Some of my latest Fun.

  Oh it has been awhile since I've been here.  All is well, glad July is over. The weather was the worst I've seen in Iowa all month.  AUGUST here now and it has been great.  

A few recent projects I have created to pass the time and take my mind to a different level.

So I WAIT while Google decides...won't let me now load photos.  A true headache lately.

Sorry Google won't load...........................................

PAPER WEAVINGS.....

Welcome, have a little spare time today. Enjoying our Sunshine, no Wind, no Snow day. Haven't had  any creative time it seems as I have been downsizing my crafty space and the storage room   But today

making use of some saved Kleenex boxes,

I flattened them....  And plan to make a few more paper weavings.  

and put the ends threw the paper shredder.

The large strips to the left stopped close to the top.....double thickness so I reversed and it came out all intact..    WOW  made it easy to weave the strips thru   as shown below I have one finished and one more to weave together.  I will use these in journals or on tags, cards etc.  

Here are a few I shredded and took longer to weave each piece without the top firm,  if I cut all the way I will use tape on the back side to hold thru the weaving process and gluing.  I used Card Stock Papers, Cardboard, Book Pages, Music Paper,  for these

This one below bottom left I have made a small collage on it...Which is what I will do with most of these.  

The two below were made by using a Metal Die thru my Sizzix  machine. Regular card stock .

Thanks for stopping by,  any questions just ask....Have a great weekend.

Holiday Time

  

Wishing You and Yours a very

 May you be blessed in every way.   

The reason for the season:

Our winter weather has been good to us during December....a little snowfall on the ground and today there is no wind...and temp's to be in the 40's all week. Safe travels if you need to go a distance.

  We will visit son/family in Cedar Rapids later and mailed our gifts for the military son/family to Virginia.  We will attend Christmas mass and have our Christmas dinner with a few friends. 

Thanking all of you who sent cards   So far I've not taken time to do any of the mail intentions.  

                simple decorating this year

                                         A tree my dad made, ornaments of my grandmother's  Wall cross stitch and 2 ceramic children from my sister

                 And an adorable Santa Mother made

God Bless

REPURPOSE CALENDAR PAGES

Welcome, it's been awhile posting to my blog.  In the process of cleaning my crafty/supple areas, I came across "LOTS" of Old Calendars I've saved.

Wanted to show you a way to have some fun with them.

I separated the pages by taking the staples out, Cutting the pages in half.  Pretty side down, 1st fold in left/right edges 3/4 of an inch, worked best for me.  I put the hole on top if you want to ;use a brad and string to open and close. Or at the bottom if sealing shut.  and fold down 2 3/4 inches to make a fold

2nd fold from the bottom to meet the this fold.  

3rd  Glue sides together....can insert a brad and add string, (maybe use reinforced self adhesive) You can color them or buy them in colors (BUT I can't find mine)

It was easier to work with the thinner papered calendar, than the textured heavier ones. But the heavier ones will hold up better.  Use for gift giving, journal pages, storing paper treasures.  

Thanks for stopping by.  Have fun creating.

A First at WOYWW

I have stopped many times at Glenda's or Hels blog to see the WOYWW  so thought today with a little time I'd drop in on the fun. The Stamping Ground has all the info and fun to peep around at all the entries. 
My work area is a large area in our lower level:  I love it, can leave the mess only to return to continue whatever my project may have been earlier...sometimes it just sits there and I start something totally new on the other table...
I made the BIG mistake Jan 2nd of cleaning and organizing...I haven't been able to quickly reach or find some things I use just by reaching out. But no doubt I will get use to it. I love the fact that by organizing "THINGS" it is easier to coordinate and see what I actually have.  (Way to Much )if my hubby comes down to visit..

In this picture the big pile of red is an old wool blazer I felted, with hopes of making some Valentine projects..best get busy it's not that far away...
Just next to this is another table

Under both tables are 6 plastic roller file drawer storage units which really keep a lot of goodies hidden!!!!!!!!!!!!  Well that's it for today...I have another project I am working on for storing ALL my Spellbinders so maybe can post that later next week.
Enjoy your day...It is bright and sunny here but terrifically COLD...

#780!

Welcome and                        Happy #15 WOYWW         

It's been a great time to share and visit with all of you.

I am having issues with my print settings.  So hope I can continue. Changes size.  It's been a busy 5 days..and I'm posting this on Tuesday as I leave in a few hours to have dental surgery.

I've finished another 'tiny' journal  It was suppose to be a tiny ZINE but I cut an end and ruined it. SO this is what remains.  1" x 1 "

If you are interested 
On my previous blog I have shared the 2 day travel trip.

WOYWW 779

Welcome, just a quick post.  We have been having 2 weeks of wicked storms. It's the day we share our workspace HERE....

My hubby will be replanting both beans and corn as ponds of water have destroyed the little plants that just popped thru the ground. And I don't think insurance covers water damages.  So a little spendy year for crops. I cannot complain, several states West have lost complete towns by tornadoes. Iowa has had 2 with bad destruction. and several with minor damages. 

The weeks go so fast, we will have a few high school graduation parties this weekend. My grand daughter is home form Arizona State College for the summer and hope to get to see her end of the month She and hubby have birthdays back to back, supposable a 60th class reunion being held the same time. 

Not much in the line of fun at my desk.....working on ATC's and having fun with a few new ideas. Will share those soon. My desk a real mess.

I have 2  One Inch Zines ready to collage on for the May "Miini Collage group.

I did this one and not thinking used stickers ???brain is not working,  When folded/ the right bottom corner  TOGETHER will be the cover 

Was good practice  Have a great week...hope you are enjoying Sunshine and Flowers.  Thanks for stopping by.
