We saw it through the grapevine

ANTWERP, August 30 (Reuters) – Rumours have reached us that the Gardener of Adin is offering the above pictured bar brooch at a reduced price to Adin's followers. When being confronted with this the Gardener confessed. He told us that the price of the brooch had been curtailed by €1,000 which is almost $1,500! In a later statement he testified that this was done in an attempt to lower the presence of crystallized carbon in the Garden of Adin to meet with the standards as set in the Kyoto protocol.

Sleeping Beauty Pendant

ANTWERP, August 23 (Reuters) – Once upon a time in the Garden of Adin, not so far far away from here, the Gardener was pruning the roses when he stumbled upon this sleeping beauty pendant. It must have been asleep there for some 100 years and just waiting to be awoken. We hope that we can be of assistance in its desire to be worn by a princess.

Ad ogni uccello suo nido è bello

(With every bird its own nest is charming)

ANTWERP, August 16 (Reuters) – During the absence of the Gardener for his sabbatical leave this year it seems that some birds used the quietness in the Garden of Adin to procreate. A bird-spotter spotted a hatching pair of birds and had Adin's photographer called to make a snapshot of the little love couple. We wonder what their eggs will hatch.

New Projects

I have not had much time to post lately, but am excited about working on a couple of new mini albums I purchased this past week. It is not that I don't already have some other projects in the works--they will no doubt get my attention first, but just couldn't resist these! I love mini albums!


I thought this Heartbeat Mixables acrylic/chipboard album by Clear Scraps was really cute. I am going to do this book about my mom and use the new Domestic Goddess Collection papers by G45. I love all the hearts in this album and the new G45 papers -- Awesome!

I also got this Sandcastle chipboard mini by Clear Scraps. I have some great beach photos from one of my trips to Destin, FL I am going to use this one for. I can hardly wait to do it!


NEW TOOL! This has actually been on the market for a little while -- but, new to me. It is the Corner Chomper Tool by We R Memory Keepers. It is fabulous! It chomps right through chipboard --cuts light weight papers smoothly, too. Cuts two sizes -- 1/4 " and 1/2". Suggested retail is $24.99. I am crazy for new tools!

Atrocities in the Garden of Adin at absence of gardener

ANTWERP, August 09 (Reuters) – In the Garden of Adin a beastliness situation arose with the absence of the Gardener for his annual holiday. An alert passer-by noticed a serpent stalking a dragonfly and notified Adin's photographer who managed to create an image just seconds before the atrocity. We hope that at the returning of the Gardener its livestock won't be diminished too much.

Holidays in the Garden of Adin

ANTWERP, August 02 (Reuters) – And his wife said to the gardener: Behold, I need a break. Get us a place at an ark in the sky and entrance into a bright lit place. And behold! I am bringing the good mood flood upon the earth. But the gardener wanted to take of all his things of gold, many of each he wanted to bring into the ark to preserve with him; but his wife threatened to end their covenant. And thus the gardener and his family went on holiday without their jewelry; according to all that his wife had commanded him, so he did.

Wishing all our friends, customers and colleagues
a relaxing vacation!
