Starting over... And some of my older grungier paper crafting!
Hi and Welcome!  I was a blogger for a short time - - and have returned to try again! : ) Please let me explain~
I recently  read a post from Rue @  An Old Fashioned World.blogspot.com (I found her on the   'Saturday Spotlight'   from Kris @ Junk Chic Cottage…) Anyway,   She was talking about how she had (deliberately) erased 4 or 5 years of blog posts as she  . . . ' moved on to a new life ' . . . and as she continued, she said "Looking back, I consider it to be one of the dumbest things I've ever done." Dear Rue, I can concur. It was about a year and a half ago.  I had been blogging only about a year? And it WAS experimental - I said so myself! I gave full discloser to my (6?) followers! : ) that if it got to be too much for me (I have a full time job, and at that time my husband was disabled w/ MS) well I told them I would have to stop. OK, it wasn't my husband OR my job that caused me to stop; it was (Mr.) Google himself. I had soo much trouble with it (I am woefully behind in PC/IT knowledge) and also some …'intrusions' and unanswered e-mails trying to fix things...  *sigh*  I got angry, fed-up - - and quit! BUT, The worst thing about it all  is,  that out of anger, I deleted ALL of my 50 some posts.  UGH : P I HAVE done  'more dumber things'  Rue, (PS I don't even 'know' Rue, but I feel like I do : ) But I do regret the delete's immensely~ WITH THAT being said, I have been sensing this return for several months now~ I WANT to try again, and I   T H I N K   I can handle the pitfalls; come what may! Even if there is no one out there - even if no one reads - even if it's just me; talking  and posting my  'crafting'  photos…    : ),  even so, I want to try again. I don't even know for sure  why the 'draw'  back to blogland; maybe the start of my own  'new journey'  in  life -  - But at any rate, here I go! I am mostly a paper crafter, but I also dabble in fabric and lace journals and small projects~ The name Roosterhead  came about  because I have been collecting Rooster and chicken décor for many years.   Well, in my early years of scrapbooking I found a great (Stampin' Up) rooster stamp and decided to use it as a signature on the backs of my cards and projects. The thing is, I felt like the 'whole rooster' was a bit too big looking - so I just used the head part of the stamp; and Roosterhead Designs was born!
This is where I live~ (well, in a house, in the city  : )

I'd like to post some of my older work~  This is some of my  'grungier'  older work!!
A paper bag card using Maja Design papers from Sweden~ A Christmas card using lots of burlap! Some corrugated board and a 'pik' from Michaels  I used some Gesso white medium on the corrugated board to resemble snow. 2 'Paper Bag' cards with tag inserts. Vintage white buttons were used on the heart~ This is a journal.  I used scraps of all sort on here! A Kraft card with layers of scraps and tags~ The image is actually from product packaging!  My mothers family.  She is the girl front and left - with pigtails and a white dress. ^ A birthday card made from Kraft paper, lots of corrugated board, and  and an old family photo : )  A few paper bag cards and sentiment tags; made with Maja Design papers~
And finally, a cover for a mini album; which I haven't finished yet!! There is fabric, lace, corrugated board, burlap, vintage buttons and 'fussy-cut' paper! WHEW! The hearts are cut from batting material~ Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! for peeking in today~ Karen
