I guess I'm not really good at blogs

I've been trying to add images to this blog for weeks now and its just not happening. I've added the ones you've seen before with relatively no problems, but I'm not able to do it anymore. I may be giving up the blog thing if I can't load pictures. I have even tried to delete posts and have not been able to.
My camera is working for now, my computer fan has quit, I think my hard drive might be going, my cd player in my computer no longer works and has not been working for months. I probably give it one more try in a week.

Bad computer days

Well, my computer was on the fritz last week, my fan quit on me. I couldn't load pictures before that. Now, my camera will no longer open, the lens. So, if you would like to win a heart necklace that you can not see, go ahead and leave a comment underneath this post. First one to leave a comment wins the necklace. Heart it forward. So, until I get a new camera, or my old camera fixed, I will be loading pictures of the stuff I had made before, unless of course the blog won't let me load them again.
Thanks.
Sorry for all the hassle that is happening.

Even more foam stamps

I know I have been jumping around a bit, but here are just a few more of the foam stamps I made. OK, it won't let me add a picture. Maybe this is what you get when you get something free. I have been having trouble with this blog lately. It says it could not contact blogger.com down at the bottom. I will try again later today.

OK, this is what happened

I have over 200 some blogs that come into my reader on Google (mostly crafty blogs). As, I go through them they will give you a chance to win something. I won Lesley Riley's book, I received it. A few days later after winning Lesley's book, I won a heart from http://artwerx.us/blog/ Musings of my Mind. What it is , is Love it Forward. So, I will be sending out a heart craft, first I'll take a picture of it and giving you a chance to win it. Tracy is the nice person that randomly picked my number. The love it forward site is: http://loveitforward.ning.com/. By the way, I picked out the heart with the butterfly on it, it is so beautiful.

I have so much going on in my life right now, but I will catch up. I apologize if I have upset any one.

Review of Lesley Riley's book

"Fabulous Fabric Art with Lutradur"

You can really tell Lesley has experimented a lot on the Lutradur, with all the different kinds of medium. She's pretty much done all the work for you! I was really excited to learn I can use foiling on the Lutradur, and that I'd be able to transfer onto it.

The book is filled with pictures of some of Lesley's incredible art projects, even the contents page is gorgeous! Beginners through advanced crafters should have no trouble doing the projects in this book. Lesley has provided easy, step-by-step instructions for all of them. In addition, she has sprinkled a lot of fun tips and hints throughout the book. My favorite project in the book (probably because it reminds me of a min-zine I made) is Lesley's, "Memories of Italy." I like it so much I'm planning to make one similar to it. Another of Lesley's projects in the book called "Aviary", and that one is my second favorite, although I also love her "Baby Blocks!"

All of the projects in this book are great, so it was a real challenge deciding which are my favorites. I've been so inspired by them that I can't wait to get more Lutradur and get crafting! Thank you, Lesley, for a truly wonderful book!
