Hurricane Irene

what a week.... first, we had an earthquake that hit Virginia and the surrounding states.....even being felt in Philadelphia and vicinity.....and now Hurricane Irene is on her way...

We live about 15 miles north of Philadelphia, in Bucks County, PA....Hurricane Irene is traveling up the east coast and will be hitting our area on Saturday evening/Sunday....she is expected to drop 5-10 inches of rain...they are warning us about downed trees and power outages....

I pray everyone in her path will be safe...

This is a BIG storm.....

Transformation

I love surfing the web to see and learn what people are doing...It amazes me how many talented people there are in this world and the internet reveals it to everyone....

Recently, I came upon Heaven's Walk blog where I found this

technique Laurie did.....

the graphic came from The Graphics Fairy where you can find

a wonderful assortment of vintage images and crafty projects...

After reading the how-to on Heaven's Walk I decided to look

for a graphic on The Graphics Fairy.....

I have had these 2 crock jugs for a long time and wanted to

try my hand at this technique....

I chose two different graphics and this is

how they turned out.....

it actually makes the jugs look older and the one jug has

the label scratched off somewhat to give it that

aged look....

I know I will be doing this technique again.....

It is addicting......

Happy Birthday, Molly.....

in her favorite treat bowl.....

which she gobbled up....she loves this stuff...

after which she was lickin' her chops...umm..yummy

I think she liked it don't you?

Happy Birthday, Molly......

the other day I heard someone refer to their dog as their "furry child"...

she is our "furry child"
