LOAD 2-5

More LOs for the LOAD challenge. Scrapped a couple of photos for Lizzy and my pictures from the fair.

I used the Men In Black DVD cover for inspiration here. Love this photo of the guys sitting on the log. The beads were a RAK from Missus Wookie.


Lizzy finds some silly things to photograph - like this little sign in the shop window. Used my new glitter Thickers here.


Someone mentioned something about printing photo collages at Costco so I tried it with my fair pictures. I kept the horse photos mostly intact, but cut the alligator photos all apart. It was fun having the odd sizes. Using ephemera finished this LO but I found a great transparency from a Peachy Cheap purchase and added some SU corduroy buttons and a small piece of ribbon.


The alligator pictures. Very simple. What more can I say?

Fun at the Fair






Saturday after dropping ice off at my booth, we decided to spend a day at the fair just for fun. We watched the Percheron draft horse show - very quick, about five minutes. They were such beautiful animals and oh, so huge! Nineteen hands or 6' 4" at the shoulder. The driver ran the horses through a series of maneuvers. He was able to turn the wagon in a full circle without moving the back wheel from its spot. Very tight and precise.








Next we watched the alligator show. These two guys are brothers from Florida. They travel around teaching people how to be safe around alligators. Just in case you ever run into an alligator in the wilds of Idaho. Surely the alligator was a little tame, but still, not something you would want to try at home. This rascal is eight feet long and weighs 200 pounds. The alligator that is.
