Back in the Swing of Things and Friday Favorite

I have been a little behind in updating this blog.  I had the flu for over a week and did not feel like doing much of anything.  I did manage to finish making a gift presentation box for my niece's graduation present, but just did not have the energy to photograph it.  I wish I had as it turned out really great.  

My Friday favorite this week is a small painting I purchased

at the thrift shop.

There was something really

 appealing about the whimsical owl painting positioned in this formal

frame.  I just love it!

 Here's a tag with a gift card holder I made for 

my husband for Father's Day.  Something really quick and easy, but

 it does the trick 

for presenting the gift card.   

My assistant Sierra is in a playful 

mood today.  She loves to throw herself down on the bed and roll around.
