I just realised recently that this is the year I turn 40.... the age at which its hard to call yourself "young" anymore. (though I must say that's not how old I am in my head - in there, I am always 21. And some days 15). *warning - long post ahead - 'old' people tend to ramble....So, just for fun, here are40 Good "Old" Things: (in no particular order)

And here's a super old vintagey style project to wrap things off for today:
A non-sewing book binding project we did in last month's class (A big thank you to the ladies who had fun messing around with this last month!) - there are a few last slots left this month I believe...
The wraparound cover is made of Tim Holtz Grungeboard
and inside its got Tim Holtz Papers for all the pages and Graphic45 Steampunk embellishments
We did image transfer on the covers and I reallly like how you can still see the shadowy shapes of the grungeboard alphas showing through (can see?)
And you can obviously tell I didn't plan my transfers which explains why the Eiffel tower is upside down...K, that's it from me today. Old already....tired, need to go lie down. Haha!
Sharon it is glorious to turn 40!!! I just arrived too! Now i can officially call myself middle age. Hehee....
