My How Time Flies

Does it ever feel like the pressures of life are just squeezing in on you?
Feel like you just need to get away from it all? (ok, so it sounds a little like a Calgon soap commercial...)
Well then, bulid your own Time Machine!

All you need are a few simple materials, an old cigar box, a clock mechanism, Star Juggler rubber stamp and some colorful paper scraps!


For detailed instructions check it out at Stampington & Company, now I can't guarantee how well it will work but I can say it'll sure be fun to make!

And now for another great must have book or in this case a must give!
I received this book from a very dear friend, and if you have a special woman in your life, a sister, cousin, friend, mother, teacher, well, you get the point. Example: There are certain women in our world who have the gift of finding joy everywhere and leaving it behind them when they go. You'll usually find them immersed in their work, or slow dancing with their dreams, or making a difference for all those around them. These are the women who can flood our souls with laughter... strength and courage... hopes and dreams. Sound like someone you know? Celebrate her with this wonderful book.

What a whimisical way to start my day! Thanks!

Very inspirational, and well, just...AWESOME! If I could go anywhere back in time I think it would be back to the early 1900's. I would have definitely been a flapper living (of course) in New York, and would have probably owned a little bootlegging business on the side ;)

PS: Sandra, are you still interested in new interpretations of your Parisian paper-doll lady? I have a pretty cool idea brewing...

Maybe H.G. Wells should have put this image on his book- then I would have bought it!
Very cool!

Yes I feel like that often! I love the time machine and the little person in black and white is just the cutest!

That books looks so nice, I don't think I have seen it. Must make a mental note to check it out the next time I am at the bookstore.

Hi, Sandra. I very much like the idea of the "time machine." If I were "stuck" in time, I should very much like to be inside this box to play! Another wonderful creation - thanks for inspiring us!

Thank you for creating magic minutes that transport us away! This is the 3rd time I've clicked on your Time Machine for a bit of travel away from my desk!
Fantastical, mystical, magical piece! Makes me think of the movies 'Somewhere In Time' and 'Kate and Leopold'...AND Star Trek's Transporter Pod...and how intriguing it will be to venture through time and space someday!!
