~I'M IN A RUSH...BLOGGERETTE SORORITY SISTERS~

This week I'm joining over 150 girlies for the very first "Sisters in the Bloggerette Sorority" PARTEE hosted by none of than Karen at "Some Days Are Diamonds".  Miss Karen asked all who were interested to take the picture you see below and create SOMETHING fun with it.  The only requirement was that we needed to take a picture of ourselves WITH our creation...

You MUST hop on over to Karen's place where you'll find a list of all the participants!  It's sure to be FUN FUN FUN and betcha it will be inspirational, too!

 ~THE SWEETEST VINTAGE PHOTO~

Now...I'm a creating fool.  You probably know that by now.  But, truthfully...I almost backed out because I've had two crazy-busy back to back weeks.  Still...this little gathering seemed like too much fun not to attend and so I set my cap on creating something different and OUT OF SEASON.

 ~VINTAGE LACE STOCKING~

(and Matching Hang Tag)

Here is my contribution!  I opted to copy the little photo and after a bit of Paint Shop Pro Manipulation I layered it on top of an old love poem.  I colorized some of the florals in the picture and then printed out the image on photo quality cotton.

  I then built a vintage lace Christmas Stocking around it! :)  Oh...and just for an added bonus I made a matching Hang Tag...  I know it sounds NUTSO since we are in a Heat-Wave here in Oklahoma, but I LOVE to make Christmas Stockings...and so I did! :)

Here's an up-close view of the top...

~LOVE'S FAIR EXCHANGE~

Now......

I KNOW I'm cheating doing this...but, snapping a picture of my little creation with ME IN IT stumped me.  So, I included one instead that was taken of me and my Mr. AGPMan in September 2008 on our 30th wedding anniversary next to the Stocking and Tag.  Does this count?  

Say "Yes!" :)

~TAH-DAH~

One Christmas Stocking down and 100 to go!

(Did I just say that?)

Now I'm off to visit my brand new Girly Sistas!

Thanks for stopping by today!  I'm sure you'll be seeing this little Stocking again one day very soon!

Love to you~
