Hello everyone,

I've started to get my blog ready dressed up for Halloween. I won't be dressing up the shoppe. I've had enough html for awhile. I've just finished creating my Gallery and that was enough html in itself.

Do you like my Halloween header? I created it last year. Lots of little bitty images to play with. It took me quite awhile to create it, but I think it turned out quite scary and cool looking. Oh, if you happen to like it, I did add it to my shoppe under the Store Fronts categories. You can find the header itself here.

Halloween Header No.1

I am still working on getting some more Halloween things added to the blog. Now for you blog lovers. I have a cool freebie that you can snag right from my blog. It's the Candy Coutoure Blog Ware pin for Halloween. Cute Huh?



I will be adding more goodies along the way. Stay tuned....

~ Lori

What's New? A new Gallery!

What's new in my digital world?

For the past few weeks I have had my head buried in html. I have launched a lovely new photo Gallery online. I did not have a current online gallery that I was satisfied with. I downloaded a basic gallery from the Coppermine website and away I went creating a new gallery.

The new gallery I created is a community based scrapbooking gallery to bring Altered Artist, Digital and Paper Scrapers together to share your scrapbooking layouts, photos, ideas, tutorials, techniques online and whatever else scrapbook related. Below are the links and you can register from there.

These are my favorite areas of art and I would love to have them in one gathering place and it's kinda neat building a new home for it all.

For registered users there are five categories to choose from and use as well as sending e-cards. For digital designers this is nice because you may send links back to your store for your freebies and your layouts as well.

As a registered user you can have your own personal photo album to share your layouts with family and friends.

The Altered Art Gallery - For Altered Artist.

The Card Gallery - To show off your paper scrap cards or digital cards.

The the Photo Shoppe - To share favorite family pics.

The Freebie gallery - For designers to share their freebies.

Techniques, Tutorials & Tools Shoppe - Share how to techniques, photos online with other as a teaching aid. What tools did you use?

If your looking for a new home to nestle your images into, come and see the new gallery at:

http://lorigiles.com/shoppe/gallery


So start digging through all those folders for your layouts. Get your freebies uploaded so you get some more links to your site! Show some love to some family members by getting those photos out and uploaded!

And get some photo and layouts in this gallery...it's naked!! Get Registered! It's Free!

I started this piece last year and finally finished it up yesterday. I am not one to hang in "The Lounge" lol but, I like to do 3-D art pieces and this one came to mind when I started on the bubbly wine glasses with the olives. I had no direction when I first started it just slowly came to mind as the creative process went along.

My Glass Bird Bath

This is my glass bird bath I made. I found the baby blue globe light from a vintage store find. It came with a hole in the center. I also have a pink one. You can make these into feeders or bird baths.

Supplies needed:

I then went to Lowe's and bought the copper pipe, a wooden dowel that was slightly smaller than the the copper pipe, a small rubber ring, a metal washer and screw.

When purchasing your tubing and wooden dowel decide on the height of your bath or feeder.

To begin making your Bird Feeder or Bath:

Pick a favorite place for your copper pipe in your garden and secure it in the ground.

Now drill a small hole into the top of the wooden dowel for the screw. Place the bowl on top of the wooden dowel, then place the rubber washer, then the metal washer and screw the screw into the wood to secure the bowl. Place the bowl and dowel carefully into the copper tubing that is already placed securely into the ground. It's done!

You can keep bird seed or just rain water in the the bowl. The bowl will get dirty now and then. To empty the bowl and then you just lift the bowl out of the of the copper tubing.

~ Enjoy your bird watching!
