genius bag

i made this with adam out of a bag full of junk for cub scouts. i think i helped a bit too much. lol. poor son of a crafter - he was upset when he didn't win. most of the other projects weren't painted.

personally i think it's too funny and heck it might be his halloween costume next year!

perpetual photo wall calendar

i love this and i love that they remind you that you could use flickr to get the photos as well. of course, looking beyond the project into the scrapbookingvenue - it makes me want to make a page with these photo clips holding the pieces together or perhaps even a little stitch instead. keeping this one in my idea filef or sure!
