I always have good intentions to blog more regularly, but, alas, I just get caught up in other things and don't get it done.  In my last post I promised a picture of the "raw materials" I was using to make a brush roll for my acrylic nail and nail art brushes.  I've been working on the brush roll and have the construction completed, but need to add a few more embellishments.

This is the "raw materials."  I got another  piece of purple fabric and used the batik fabric in the inside of the roll.  I added a nail covered with glitter to each of the ties, one in purple glitter and one in pink glitter.  There is also a pink embossed lip print on the inside flap on the left side.  I'm going to add some beads, embroider my name, and add a few other embellishments as time allows.

I'm also adding a picture of the nail polish display I made showing some of my nail polish.  I'm going to make a bigger one as soon as I can.  I'll probably use this one as a spice rack.

Orientation

I went to orientation last night. My class is now going to start on the 13th. One of my instructors works for the attorney general. This is going to be an interesting course.

101 Things Update:
I converted one, that's it, one, CD since I started. I figure if I can do 4-5 a week I should have them done by the end. I need to get started scanning pics again. Got to get them on webshots and burned to a cd. I also need to get the ones on my digital camera organized. I haven't started my one pic a day for a month yet. I'm still doing a crossword puzzle a day. I have a stack of them I've saved.

Later today I'm going to take pics of my front yard to document the changes as I landscape it. There isn't a lot of grass due to shade trees. Last year my ex-husband decided to have someone do the yard work. They used a weed whacker on what little grass we had and killed most of it. He had the trees trimed earlier this year. So now we have sun. I'm researching xeroscape plants so we can have a green yard with little water needed. We always have water restriction every summer, making it difficult to keep things green here. I think I'll use the pics and document it on my website, as one of the pages (# 12)

I got an Altoids tin from one of my co-workers for an altered art piece. Also two small "BBs" I want to use on it. I haven't decided the theme, but I still have a lot of time.
