Officially A Crafter

This fall I am trying something new...
Craft Fairs
Art Recycles has been accepted to two craft shows in September (two more are pending approval for November).

The first fair is September 18, 2011 in Sellersville, PA.  It's called Gallery of the Arts located on the main streets of Sellersville from 12-5 pm. 

The second fair is September 24, 2011 in Lansdale, PA.  It's called The Environmental Fair at Fisher's Park located on Bustard Road in Lansdale from 12-4 pm. 

I have been working diligently every night in my studio to create high quality up-cycled organizers to accompany my tuck-it and tack-it boards.

Here is a sneak peek...

Magnets are a must. On the fridge, filing cabinet, chalk board...

Bucks County, PA... why I love it!

I've decided to share the treasure that is Bucks County, PA in a series of posts.
I'm beginning this series close to home; with the walking/biking path that begins across the street from my development.  It's a great path, with lots of things to see and do along the way.  I think from start to finish it's approx. 8 miles, so it's a nice bit of exercise.

Along the way...

Back up....before we got to this photo, Logan fell off his scoot and scraped his elbow.  We weren't too far from home, so we went back for a band-aid.  Neighbor Jeff was in his garage and fixed Logan up with a piece of gauze and duct tape.  He also wrapped the other elbow just in case. Thank goodness duct tape doesn't really stick to skin.

Sometimes our first stop is along this bridge.  We look for turtles.

When Sam is with us we have to fish.  This is the first opportunity to throw a line in the water.

Finally we get to the play set.  Great slides for shocking; the boys can build up quite a charge, ZAP!!! 

Dairy Queen is a yummy landmark that we go by.  Once we cross a street, the path continues behind houses.  Here are our rides.  We are a Trek family.

One day the boys were throwing in their lines and we spotted this SNAKE

And they continued to fish!!! Not me, I was all about staying as far away as I could from that snake!

Finally we are looping back home, it's always an adventure.
8 miles of adventure = two tired boys.

They only snuggle, without fighting, when they are dog tired.

Enjoy,
Tracey
