Its the half way mark on my writing challenge that I started 15 days ago. I am even impressed that I doing this challenge and still have ideas to add to the blog each day.  Eight hundred posts later, I am still going strong.

Flower Butterfly Tutorial I know we all have flowers in our stash especially Prima flowers. I know have 2 boxes full and still use them. I wanted to use the flowers to add not just a finishing touch to a card, layout or project but enhance them in a different way.  The 5 petal flowers work great for this project and it was easy to make them. Its easy like 1-2-3-4.  Four easy steps and you have these beautiful butterflies in your next project. All you need is flowers, wire, clear glue like Beacon 3 in 1, Fabric-Tac or hot glue. Step One: Trim off one of the petals on the flower Step Two: Cut a piece of wire (6 inches) and curl the sides down shown on the picture below.

No Sew Curtains I was in Walmart last month checking out the curtain clearance section. I found a brown panel curtain for $5. It was big enough that I would be able to make two curtains for the downstairs game room. Its easy to make and in no time you will have curtains in any room of your house or apartment.

It creates clean, secure hems in seconds with no sewing and is completely machine washable! Use with cotton poly blends, cotton, rayon, acrylic, linings and much more. Some of...

I am no expert but I love to take photos and experiment with my camera. My friend, the camera, and I have been together for 3 years and I am still learning new things to do with it. I am telling that learning HMTL was easier then figuring out how to use this thing in the beginning but as time went on it got easier.  I have a Canon EOS Rebel T3i and love it. It comes with two lenses (EFS 18-55 mm and EFS 73-300 mm with a lens hood). T he Canon T3i shares the excellent image quality. It offers the articulating LCD, remote flash control, and creative filters. With Full HD video support, fast auto focus, and good quality optics. The only I feel it does not do so well is in sport or fast motion shooting. It tends to be out of focus and overexposure in bright sunlight like the photo below (c) Copyright All Rights Reserved  Lucy Chesna Photography PROS Excellent image quality; Good grip; Full HD video recording; Swiveling LCD; Very fast auto focus; HDMI ...
