True North

I was making a treasury for the nonteamchallenge on etsy called "You are my true North" , and since TheJetty won, it's a nautical theme and I found some really cool jewelry by Licky Drake of HappyGoLicky
http://www.etsy.com/shop/HappyGoLicky?ref=seller_info

Silver Compass Necklace, You Are My True North, in Eco Friendly Reclaimed Fine Silver And Sterling Silver, His and Hers Pair Gift Set

Artisan Jewelry, Sterling Silver n Fine Silver Bracelet, Hand Made Jewelry, Artisan Bar Toggle Silk Wrap Bracelet, Floral Engraving Design
Her shop is so wonderful... I will be adding some items to my Christmas list...


Anyway, ......... my camera died so I can't show you what I made this week... I've worked on the sisterhood sketchbook and in my own sketchbook and the new sketchbook for Amy's Commy project! And.... I started a drawing and a painting from the workshops in Rice's new book that I won thru Seth Apter's blog... I love the book and am having so much fun trying their way of creating. The book has less art and more about the expeience of the art retreats which is really the people... than I expected, but that's not to say it's not wonderful (which it is) and I'm still pouring over it.  But that'll all have to wait for PHOTOS!
 So to have something to show I looked thru some things I might have photographed but never posted so here's one of my favorites...
She's Queen of the Bully Hill wines and Sweet Walter Red is her favorite just like mine! Gotta be sweet!

Oh and if you didn't already, please go up to the linky at the top and submit your interview to be entered into my GIVEAWAY... if you don't know what I'm talking about then still go up to the linky and click on it and click on the first entry which is mine and it explains the whole thing.... try it, you'll like it...

    I love your queen, and I will totally do your interview. I already posted a sketch of what's in my purse yesterday because I saw the question on Amy's blog.

    No camera! I get edgy if my battery needs re-charging...but complete death would be awful!

    Some pretty things you have found on Etsy...and I wish I could have a glass of wine right now, but it is 10:48 in the morning...haha! If I didn't have to pick up my daughter from school in an hour, I'd do it!

    Sounds like a busy week!! Amy's commy project? Did I miss that and do I want to be part of that?

    Bully Hill - long time since I've heard that name. I loved their Space Shuttle rosé. Wonder if it is gone too now that its namesake is...

    Love the page!! Hope you get your camera fixed or a new one soon!
