I've joined my first sorority ...
Karen, from the blog "Some Days are Diamonds" has come up with a fantastic blog party idea ... a bloggerette sisterhood !! And today we are being rushed .. relax ... it's all on the up and up, fun, and open to EVERYONE!! We rushees were presented with a challenge ... to take this photograph {below} and create anything we wanted to out of it ... okay that was the EASY part ...
Here's my almost finished project .... a vintage wooden basket purse ... painted and embellished with the photograph {altered slightly in Photoshop} ... some antique buttons, vintage lace, and a silk flower ... a little paint and viola ... done! oh right, almost done ... I still want to fix up the inside!
Like I said ... that was the easy part of being rushed ... the hardest part ... you HAD TO post a picture of yourself with your project ... yikes! I hate this part ... does anyone else feel the same way? ... I do not like my picture taken ; (
Have a wonderful weekend!...and thanks for all of the fun Karen!!
I think your basket is adorable and so are you!

The basket is great. I love how you've altered the photo. Looks like I'm watching a vintage film strip and the ladies are on the move. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Jill, WOW!!!! You are brilliant, I love your sweet basket and the pic of you holding it is beautiful. I was a bad girl and didn't include a pic, I think I read the post wrong as I thought we were to incorporate our pic in what we made and that would have really ruined the whole project for me...hehehe..
