Recipe for Happiness

Hi! I found this recipe for happiness, and had to share it with you. I took an old recipe card and letter by letter created the text. It took all day yesterday, but I thought this was so cute I had to do it. My kids thought it was soooo corny but I don't care. ;)
It's made under beveled glass so that's why is looks a little distorted here. But when you look at it straight on, it's fine.
I finally figured out how to add silver glitter too. The trick was to use a certain kind of paper, that's the texture of water color paper, and it worked.
I started making Christmas goodies too, and I'll have them on my website soon.
Well, back to soldering! Summer decided to finally make an appearance here in So. Cal, and it's hot today! My dinky fan is just not cutting it, but back to work I go, trying to prepare for Glitterfest this Saturday.

Take care, Martha

First Le Petite Complete!

On to the theatre!  I finally finished this design I've been working on, and I'm happy with the results.  It turned into a mermaid design by some strange magic.  I'm also working on some other theatre ideas.  Since I cut out each little piece (the charm is only 1 1/2"x2") it has a 3-D look to it that I wanted for a theatre.  But when I started soldering, problems began.  However I kept going and it finally worked.  I also found out that glitter is kinda addictive.  Yikes, now I look at the calendar and can't believe Feb. is almost over.  I've got to start preparing for craft shows coming up.  First I need to get rid of this flu.  Hope you are well and happy.  ~Martha
