i'm sorry to tease you about the cootie, but i have to fess up and tell you we had a cootie like this on our mama goat this past spring. well really at the beginning of summer. we were shearing the goats, we were a little late with it cause it had been a cool spring and lots of rain, well she must have had a wound and when i went to inspect it, i found what you found on your little dog.
i do not think i have a weak stomach, i have seen all kinds of things cause i started working in hospitals when i was about 16. dh calls me the ob to the cats and the proctologist to the goats, but let me tell you i thought i was gonna loose it.
i cleaned out the wound and put antispetic in it and then we just kept doctoring it, and the little critters never came back.
anywho, i knew when i teased you about it that i would have to fess up.
now for something completely different.....
glad you like the addition to the blog.
i hope to water color your photos tomorrow or thursday, whichever day i am alone, cause if the kiddos are here they will want to help.
we paint together , but not on all projects.
love
fran

katie-ell,
saw your post on the blog spot and wanted to thank you for the encouragement and i have done some postcards before but not the notecards, i will play around with that and see what i can come up with.
i am getting ready for roundtop in sept-oct. and will be taking alot of crafts and collectibles there so i may see if the postcard /notecard idea may be something i could do there.
love
fran

Frannie I love the tags on your blog! I always make my own tags to give with gifts, and I'm learning they can be gifts in themselves as well. Good luck with yours!!
Farmgirl hug,
Patricia

Frannie -- Do let us all know how the notecards work out. From time to time, I make notecard collages -- and also gift tags -- and sell them at our Historical Society's consignment shop. They always sell. I've been toying with the idea of doing some using historical photos of our area. . . that's why I thought of notecards when viewing your tags.

thanks again for the encouragement and ideas.
i have always loved making the tags, and i think i will explore the idea of making some notecards.
i am always looking for new crafts to do, just so i dont get in a rut and also because i need a rest sometime from the reptition of the handcrafts so my hands can have a little time off.
junebug, i print my master copy of the pictures on watercolor paper, sometime the printer and i have a little battle over this. i use an epson stylus cx 4200.
so the water color of the photos is actually watercolored on paper that is very receptive to watercolor.
then i copy that on card stock which you know is a little heavier than just papter.
everything i do is trial and error, and if you try any of it and run into some snags i will be happy to share specific solutions that i have come up with.
thanks again for the input, i love hearing from other crafters who are doing the same type work,,,,,well i just love hearing from other crafters.
love
