hello crafty friend.

Happy Saturday!

I’ve been smitten with the color coral:

That washi?  I picked it up from the Target $ spot and I love it!  Gah, it’s the things that I only buy 1 of that I love…the ones that I buy multiples of, don’t end up working out…figures, eh?

I was inspired by Sav’s card HERE.  I like the look of the solid mason jars…kind of like THIS.  I’d do mine white, like milk glass.

Here’s a peek into my new joint office {with my boy}.  As you can see on the upper right hand side of the desk, I have a few of my milk glass pieces clustered.
I used the following fresh ink colors:

charcoal
provincial gray
cocoa
coral
mango
grass
I combined the Paper Smooches 

Did you guess that I was playing along with 


Thanks to Lisa, I’m also linking up to the current Paper Issues:  Mix Tape with Hazel & Ruby


I’ve been trying to ‘move more’.  I don’t mind walking and I average 4 miles a day on the days that I work {2 miles at lunch and 2 miles to meet up with Darin}.

Yesterday we took a nice little hike…do you see the waterfall behind us?
I totally love living in Washington State!
