Has any one seen this One World One Heart giveaway? 
It is a group effort by Lisa Ocean Dreamer and she has linked a ton of bloggers who will be giving away gifts on Valentines Day.
I haven't had a chance to enter more than a couple of drawings yet. I want to wait until I have time to sit back, relax and browse through all the wonderful new blogs that I haven't seen yet, plus visit some old friends I haven't been by to see in a while.
I'd like to offer this large altered tag as my giftie for the event. 
It features hand painted roses, old wallpaper, glitter, and vintage jewelry- all my faves!
That makes THREE GIVEAWAYS for February for me!
- Here is the list and the rules to enter my 3 drawings:
1. One World One Heart-leave a comment on THIS post only to enter
2. One Year Blog Anniversary on Valentines Day- leave a comment on any post up till the 13th, all are entered.
3. My regular monthly drawing- leave a comment any time all month, any post, all are entered.
- I have been enjoying myself, playing with wallpaper all weekend. I have a bad cold, terrible cough and a fever that comes and goes, so in my delirium, who knows what I might end up creating?
Maybe I should just go to bed and rest, but I seem to be on a roll and very productive right now. Plus, if I lay down, I feel like I am drowning in my own snot (well, I guess that goes without saying, I sure wouldn't want to be drowning in someone else's snot).
So, I have stayed in my studio slicing and dicing wallpaper, mostly making books.
I felt like experimenting with the binder I bought. I might take it back, but I am not sure yet. I kind of liked using it to make these wallpaper journals, or scrapbooks. What ever they are.
Each page is a different vintage paper, ready for embellishments. I think these will be the perfect backgrounds for some one who wants to make a unique book, or a special photo album, and who loves old wallpaper! 
I purposely left a lot of space for adding goodies. The pages are fit loosely into the binder, and there is room to expand.
I know that when I work on a scrapbook, I tend to make it so thick it won't close anymore. Hopefully the way I assembled these will help out with that problem.
Plus, I was feverish and didn't want to make anything complicated. I simply was cutting and gluing and binding. And I LOVE the collections of old papers. Yum. Or as Sugarwings says now, "Numms"
I did make a few other things too, when my fever abated and I was feeling like trying something more creative than cutting out pages.
I also spent some time listing things on Etsy.
This box is something I had made in the past and used to keep some supplies in. I thought it deserved a better life, instead of being stuck in a drawer full of magnets, like I had it. So, I listed it in my shop.
I also listed some paper doll dresses.
This one is a tutu. 
I also decided to make another magic wand to send to Somerset Life. (The editor did like the photos of my last ones and asked to have them sent in, but that doesn't guarantee that they will be used.) Keep your fingers crossed for me!
I just had to make this one. The stuff spread out on my messy work table practically assembled itself!
Don't you love it when all the odds and ends in the craft room seem to just belong together? My Sissy sent the silk ribbon and rose with her book pages for our swap. The ribbon looked so beautiful with the flocked wallpaper I had just cut a book cover out of.
The crowns and wooden cut out birds were left laying on the table from making recipe swap book covers. And the wand itself? I finally packed away the Christmas decor from my studio (yay!) and had broken the handle off of a sleigh. It was laying in the pile of debris that I work out of.
Sometimes, being messy pays! All of these things that had been tossed aside, just called out to me from the chaos and like I said, practically made them selves. That is magic, huh??
She is the Blue Bird of Happiness and is ready to grant happy wishes to all.
I just wish she'd make my cold go away.
I'm off to make more wallpaper books, and watch the PBS marathon of the Jane Austen movies. They are starting in a couple minutes, so my spell checking might not be as good as usual. Blame the delirium from the fever too, if this is illegible.
Oh such pretty eye candy on your page!!! I hope to win one of the goodies!!! If not then I will just visit them here in blogland!!!
Thanks so much for the veneer/bondo tip!! I woulda never known!!! Hubby says he will try it next weekend!!!

Oh how I enjoyed your blog...what an adventure in Palm Springs, and your lil Sugarwings is ssooo adorable, and you dumpster dive too? I am also a trailer trash gal from my teens, when my parents split...go figure. Lady, you sure are busy! So much for getting more work done...I got lost @ Karlsa Cottage :0) (I like to be lost sometimes...Super Bowls on, I can only handle sooo much, although it's only about 20 minutes from my house, you'd think I'd be more excited about it!)
Spreadin' the love :0)
