Scribble Picnic - Tie It Up

I almost didn't make it here with all that's going on! The weekend was busy as

 we were out of town. Yesterday, in stifling temperatures yet again, I had to get out

 and work in the garden as we are preparing to have the cottage painted, BUT the

 shrubbery all along the front has to be removed or pruned to the ground. I so

 dislike that part and hope it will eventually grow back. After I complete this post
 for the 'picnic' I'm off to the dentist for some rather complicated surgery, ugh!!!

I love making tags and always try to make them appear vintage. I started young

when it came to wrapping packages - it was one of my favorite creative 

things to do as a child, finding pretty papers, ribbons and making a little tag to 

tie it all up!

These I made a few years ago with the help of my set of PARIS rubber

 stamps - today I've photographed them, done a little editing, and added back

 a wee bit of color with my water color pencils.

Here in North Carolina we are now very concerned about Hurricane Irma as
there is always a chance these horrific tropical storms will hit the East coast as
 many have in the past. While we still pray for the people of Texas we are 
also keeping fingers crossed for so many other places in the Caribbean,
Florida, and all of the US East coast. Stay safe everyone.

Meanwhile - SCRIBBLE PICNIC continues thanks to Michael, head over
 today and see what our talented group comes up with.
The theme today is Tie It Up.
