You know I love me a challenge with a deadline and a prize at the end! So, of course, I try to do Michelle Ward's Street Team Crusade challenge when I can, and the prize is that I Did It ! (That's the best prize of all, of course.)
I've enjoyed this month's challenge quite a bit, as I have enjoyed all the ones I've done. She gives you so much information and inspiration that once you've finished with her tutorial/direction/suggestion/pretty stuff, you are raring to go to work on your own version. I am going to try this year to go back and do the challenges I've missed (there are only about 30 of them), and I look forward to next month's.
With no further ado, here it is.
But, enough about you guys.

Oh, I'm not hurt at ALL that I'm not included in your forensic self-portrait. Not even a fingernail or a hair follicle. Not even a Pasadena Salad stain. Gil Grissom himself could exam every centimeter and he'd never know I existed.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll get even. Next time I'm driving and you're in the passenger seat? I'll get behind the slowest driver I can find and STAY THERE FOR 10 MILES.
This reminds me--I meant to include a hair follicle.
ReplyDeleteChris - terrific spread showing evidence of your goings-on this year! I love your humor and how you've created these narratives. Great idea to include photos of where you've been and what you've done on your work table. Glad to have you back!! Thanks for sharing your take on the challenge.
ReplyDeleteAND Thank you for being such a loyal crusade supporter, even on months when you don't participate - you still offer your comments of encouragement.
Love this page Chris, and I'm honouerd to be mentioned on it, or at least the postcard swap. What a project to go back and do older crusades too, yay you!
ReplyDeleteso glad to have you back...and yep, me too, life has been nuts...been missing your humor!!!
ReplyDeleteevidence sounds mysterious and sinister...but you always have a fun & funny way of revealing yourself! love the spread and glad your 'style' is doing what makes you happy!
ReplyDeleteomg, you are so dang funny, chris!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletemy sister and i were at a salvage yard (huge, in berkeley) one day...she MADE me buy the drawer face (she has her ways) she said she could see one of my figuratives in it...ERGO...thank you carolyn! we bought some other cupboard doors as well, they were soooo cheap, and i was thinking...oooh, don't need to figure out a frame for these, ta da!! xo
What a clever girl! I love Michelle's challenges, but never seem to have time to do them. Probably because I spend too much time looking at what other people are doing.
ReplyDeleteCrikey Chris, I am awed at how many projects you find the creativity and energy to produce! What a great, fun concept - and as usual, you've added your own unique humourus twist to it, too - it's brilliant, hon, just like you!
ReplyDeleteI love your pages....great memories.
ReplyDeleteLove how you have used tape - I am a great fan of tape!!!!!

ReplyDeleteThis report sure pours some light on to the mysterious life of Ms. Miser.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to read! Thank you!
Wow! There is so much crammed in there. Love the Alice pendant.
ReplyDeleteLove this, great pictures and reporter segments.
ReplyDeleteGreat report - beautifully performed!
ReplyDeletecool spread. I like that at first glance it looks like a random group of stuff, but at further study, it's like peeking into a window to learn about you. Fun.
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with those bits of sketchbook project pages!!! Wow!
