Candy Bar Supplies. Packing Tape Image Transfers. I love image transfers.
It’s something I’m always using in my journals but there are so many other fun uses for them. All you need to make a transfer is a photocopy of an image or words and packing tape. You can also use printouts from a laser printer or magazine pages. Inkjets will not work because they are not heat based toner. So take some photos to the copy machine or tear some pages out of your favorite magazine to get started. First, take a strip of packing tape and place it over the images you want to transfer: Then use the back of your scissors or the side of your fingernail to make sure the tape is adhered firmly: Next, dip the tape and paper into a bowl of water to wet the back: Using your fingers, start to rub off the paper from the back of the tape: Like magic….your image is left behind on the tape!
I like to use the transfers to wrap special letters before I mail them.

Funky Junk Interiors: My pallet garden walkway. This little project began in July 2011, HERE.
Creating a pallet wood garden walkway came to mind one day. The yard was getting a major revamp with the help of my wonderful neighbours. Shrubs were being pulled, new soil was hauled in, and I desired a pathway… from the driveway to the lawn. Right where all these overgrown shrubs were. Let’s dig! These reclaimed pallet or crate boards (not sure what they are) had been packratted (sp?)
A level pathway was dug lower than the driveway, then the boards were placed into position. It really couldn’t have been a simpler project. The boards were left loose so they could be lifted up whenever the desire for weeding was needed. There were lots of rocks to be had in the old garden so they were placed randomly, filling in for the lack of plants.
So we went and bought plants of the rock garden variety. Friday Flowers: Garbage Flowers. As mentioned earlier, these garbage flowers festoon the bars on the front windows of my basement apartment.

I do this by soaking it in my sink with some dish detergent, and then picking any bits off that don't come right off. If there is still a thin strip of gluey goo stuff, don't worry about it.
