Characters Can still be MADE Awsome
There are many characters that have be pushed aside, that with the writer and artist can become something more like the rising stars in the Avengers since the originals weren't enough anymore or the Dead newly renewed life in the Blackest Night. Things can be different, and if they were these characters I have chosen, as the the chosen, would be something. Oh boy would they be something!

Golf: Tiger makes woeful start to first comeback round
Published on Jun 26, 2014 11:52 PM
BETHESDA, United States (AFP) - Tiger Woods struggled on Thursday with five bogeys in the opening nine holes of his first competitive golf round after a three-month injury layoff, making the turn at four-over par 39.
He showed troubles off the tee and with his putter in his long-awaited return after a 109-day absence on Congressional Country Club's back nine in the opening round of the US$6.5 million (S$8.1 million) US PGA National.
Teeing off at the 10th hole to cheers and applause, Woods stumbled with back-to-back bogeys, answered with a birdie at the 14th, but took another bogey at 15, missed a six-foot birdie putt at the par-five 16th to settle for par and closed with back-to-back bogeys.
Chasing Jack Nicklaus' all-time record of 18 major titles, Woods hopes to play his way into shape this week ahead of next month's British Open at Royal Liverpool, where the 14-time Major winner took the Claret Jug in 2006.

NEWS FOR BOOMERS AND BEYOND SEPTEMBER 2014 FREE Mary Jo Neumann finds courage, confidence in personal life; motivates others to live well INSIDE: Nomophobia • Estate Planning • Fall Prevention Awareness Day • Leeds Castle • and more! Nomophobia: when a modern smartphone affliction leads to addiction By Brandpoint Media veryday technology consumes everyone's lives as the phone, computer, tablet and other high tech devices have become not just an object, but also a close companion. And for those who are extremely connected to their devices, going without them, even for only a few minutes, can be an anxiety-filled experience. A majority of American adults (56 percent) own smartphones, according to a recent study by the Pew Research Center. Having the ability to stay connected is a leap forward for technology, but it may come at a cost. Nomophobia, or the pathological fear of remaining out of touch with technology, is a relatively modern affliction. It's basically a side effect from changes the mobile phone has made to human habits, behaviors and even the way we perceive reality. Dr. Chuck Howard, licensed psychologist and chair of the psychology programs at Argosy University, Denver, believes it can be more complex than simply stamping a label on the problem. E "Nomophobia is a result of people becoming more and more electronically connected to the point that their technology-based network and relationships become their home community," says Howard. The term was originally coined from a 2010 study by YouGov, a UK-based research organization that wanted to look at anxieties suffered by mobile phone users. The study found that men and women often felt stressed when their mobile phones were turned off. "Nomophobia can be a symptom of a potential addiction," says Howard. "Users who are happy and having a good time when on their device, then face great stress and anxiety without it. They may obsess about it. They can't put it down. This is when actual addiction becomes a threat." When you see a behavior becoming destructive, and admit to having a problem, you can handle it in the same way as other types of addiction. Start by resisting the urge to constantly check your phone. Try limiting your social media networks and consider joining in-person networking groups or sports clubs. Set aside some time to leave your phone alone, such as at dinner with friends. If it becomes an addiction and begins to strain your relationships, consider asking others around you what they think. Be open to a sort of intervention where friends and family may candidly tell you their thoughts. No need to go cold-turkey, just take some small steps at a time to disconnect and enjoy the world around you, without looking through a smartphone screen. And lastly if you can't do it alone, then seek professional help.

It can be difficult to determine where to start when beginning the process of finding additional care for mom and dad. The following are questions you might have about the process. What is a skilled nursing facility? Skilled nursing homes are designed to assist individuals who have health conditions that require constant monitoring and availability of medical personnel. Skilled nursing facilities, also known as nursing homes, provide 24hour supervision, meals, activities and health management support. Some senior living communities offer specialized care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia. What's the difference betWeen skilled nursing and assisted living? Nursing homes provided the highest level of care for seniors outside of a hospital, while A assisted living is best for seniors who need some help with bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming, and eating, but do not require 24-hour-a-day health care. When it is time to consider a nursing home for your parents? A nursing home may be a good choice if: both medical and personal care needs have become too great to handle at home. This may be due to a recent hospitalization, or a chronic illness which has gradually been worsening. A higher level of care may be needed temporarily after a hospitalization. are there social activities? Skilled nursing residences have a full calendar of activities and social events for residents, including art classes, ice cream socials, bingo and game night, prayer service, movie night and guest speakers. In addition, many have wellness centers, a salon, restaurantstyle dining and other amenities. What happens if an elder has an emergency? Staff are available 24 hours a day to handle emergency situations. Skilled nursing facilities have arrangements with hospitals and health care professionals for assistance with emergencies. hoW much does skilled nursing cost? Cost varies depending on what level of care is provided and what type of accommodations chosen. Most seniors do not usually meet their long-term care needs from any one source. Instead a combination of support — private funds, long-term care insurance and government assistance is used to pay for care. Medicare covers post-hospital, shortterm skilled care only — and may not cover the cost of ongoing nursing home care. For low-income seniors who meet eligibility requirements, Medicaid might pay a portion of the cost. EXPERIENCE is published by Gannett Wisconsin Custom Publishing.

During this time, she got out of the original relationship, was remarried, operated the Bodyfirm Aerobic Studio on Main Street in Fond du Lac and had two more children, both sons. She continued to teach classes through both of her pregnancies, which only furthered her motivation, and helped her share encouragement and tenacity with other women. After she left Mercury Marine, she heard about an opening at Lutheran Homes and Health Services, in the field of physical therapy with patients. Though that job specifically didn't pan out, she did get her foot in the door, and was able to open the gym at LHHS to community members and employees and take on a wellness coordination role. Since 2009, she has formally been the wellness coordinator at LHHS, and works with employees and community members from the ages of 18 to 85. She teaches a variety of classes, several of which focus on low impact, range of movement, and continuing flexibility. "I am a baby boomer," Neumann notes, saying that she enjoys helping people stay active into their aging years. "The classes aren't insanity, aggressively jumping around, and etcetera. It's the good old exercises meant to stabilize and improve balance." Neumann also speaks on a few radio shows offering nutrition and exercise advice, and is planning to host another local version of "Biggest Loser," a weightloss program with friendly competition and regular meetings, as well as guidance and advice. She will also be producing a few exercise videos with Sirna Productions, of Fond du Lac, for participants of several different weight classes and ability levels. "I'm going to be a 'Jillian,'" Neumann said, in reference to the host of TV's Biggest Loser, Jillian Michaels. "I won't take any excuses," she smiled. Story and photos by Taima Kern/Action Reporter Media ary Jo Neumann may be a familiar face to many around Fond du Lac. By persevering through personal battles, building her confidence and being relentless in her pursuits, Neumann found her calling at Lutheran Home and Health Services, helping LHHS employees as well as community members. "It will be 30 years Nov. 10 since I became a licensed instructor," said Neumann. When she began, Neumann was a single parent with a seven-year-old daughter. She was trying to find her way out of a bad relationship that left her with the repeating words of M "you can't do this, you can't do anything." She tried out Jazzworks, a version of Jazzercise. The result was unexpected courage, confidence and strength. "That's when the ball started rolling, and things got better." Neumann said. She took classes at Moraine Park Technical College, and then went to Marian College for a bachelor's in Biology, with an emphasis on nutrition. She later returned to Marian University for her master's degree. Soon after, Neumann started an exercise class in the Sacred Heart gym, with an average attendance of 60-70 women. This was followed by eight years 6 | EXPERIENCE SEPTEMBER 2014 | AC Nutrition Advice Mary Jo Neumann suggests that one of the easy ways to improve health and well-being is to embrace real, whole foods. "You have to embrace healthy food and enjoy food preparation," said Neumann. "The most dangerous thing out there is Mountain Dew and diet Mountain Dew. The sugars, or worse, the aspartame, they aren't good for you. And when did soda become okay for breakfast? It used to be a treat, but now it's so common. It is addictive." Neumann cooks with coconut oil, and notes that she has avoided trendy and fad dieting over the years. "If it is too good to be true, it probably is," she said. "But there is nothing naturally bad. We've heard about good carbs, bad carbs, good fats, bad fats … in the '80s there were no fats, but sugar was okay. There is no forbidden food group, if you eat in moderation." Neumann went on to say that diseases like Celiac Disease and gluten The Fond du Lac County Falls Prevention Coalition presents: allergies are becoming more rampant because the average human diet includes more gluten than they can handle. She insists that she doesn't trust anything that can't be traced back to a natural food item, but admits that she takes a large amount of joy in food and food preparation, knowing that not everyone has the time or finds it as enjoyable.

Mueller, attorney hatever the size of your financial estate, it is important to plan. The legal and financial issues raised by your death or incapacity, will be more difficult and expensive for your loved ones without a proper estate plan. Unfortunately, most of us procrastinate because thinking about and then planning for death or disability is an unpleasant prospect. It is far easier to focus on the more day-to-day concerns in our lives. However, while estate planning may seem like a daunting task, it need not be. As with almost everything else, getting started is the hardest part. A good estate plan will involve a number of legal documents, the W most common of which are wills or revocable trusts, beneficiary designations, financial and health care powers of attorney and living wills. However, before any legal documents can be drafted, there are initial steps you will need to take and issues to which you must give at least some preliminary thought. CONSIDER YOURSELF If you become incapacitated, but do not die, who should manage your finances? Who should make decisions regarding your health care? What values are important to you regarding your health care? CONSIDER YOUR SPOUSE If you pass away, should everything go to your spouse? Do you have a blended family? Should part of your estate pass to your children even if you have a spouse? Have you signed a prenuptial agreement that addresses this? CONSIDER YOUR CHILDREN Who should raise them if they are minors? Who will be their guardian? Choosing a guardian will force you to decide what values are most important to you: religious beliefs, cultural identity, parenting styles, education, family size, geographical location, financial skills, just to name a few. Also, consider whether your children are mature enough to manage their inheritance. If not, the funds should be placed in a trust for their benefit. Who should be the trustee? The trustee will not only manage the trust funds, but also decide when and why to make distributions to your children. CONSIDER OTHER BENEFICIARIES If you do not have a surviving spouse or children, who should receive your assets? Would you like to leave your money to other family members, your church, your favorite charities, or all of the above? This initial phase of the estate planning process is the hardest because the nonfinancial decisions are always more difficult to make than the financial ones. Once these decisions have been made, however, the rest of the process should flow smoothly. WI-50 Law Offices of ISABELL M.

Demand for Additional Backhaul Capacity Drives the Millimeter Wave Equipment Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Millimeter Wave Equipment markets. Global market for Millimeter Wave Equipment is projected to reach US$637 million by 2018, driven by expanding applications and increasing need for high-capacity mobile backhaul solutions.
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) July 22, 2013
Follow us on LinkedIn – Millimeter waves (Mm-wave) are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum falling in the frequency range of 30GHz – 300GHz. Initially deployed for defense and research based applications, Mm-wave technology today finds use in a range of applications including automotive radars, airport scanners and surveillance systems, weather forecasting applications, radio broadcasting, cell phone transmissions, and telecommunication links. The main feature of Mm-wave technology is its unique resolution. The short wavelength along with significant bandwidth and transmission features of mm-waves enables use of small-sized antennas which is critical in dense urban deployments. In the coming years, Mm-waves are poised to gain momentum largely due to factors such as technological advancements and the exploding growth in media technology coupled with consumer inclination towards high-bandwidth connectivity.
Mobile backhaul is expected to be the major growth driver for millimeter wave equipment. The market is expected to witness a surge in demand with increase in deployment of high capacity mobile backhaul solutions in metros along with high cell density following the deployment of 4G network. As more consumers shift to smartphones and explore applications such as social networking, mobile enterprise, and entertainment, the need for additional network capacity and speed is on the rise. Also, increasing volumes of high-definition content, VOD and other personalized video services, and growth in data volumes being transmitted through communication networks is pushing demand for greater bandwidth. Conventional networks are being strained to address the growing requirements of network enablers and users. With the mobile industry exploring heterogeneous wireless networks, Millimeter waves, due to high frequency characteristics are evolving as an ideal solution for small cell backhaul problems. The evolution of next generation 4G/LTE networks and the growing need for backhaul solutions that offer lowest TCO to carriers, at the same time high scalability to address the exploding data traffic offers a strong business case for millimeter wave (Mm-wave) equipment.
With X-ray security scanners facing a lot of flak from regulatory authorities raising doubts about the scanners' performance and effect when exposed to human skin, millimeter wave technology is gaining ground in scanning devices. Further, given its unique benefits, research is underway to deploy millimeter wave technology for non-destructive inspection in addition to food inspection and security measures. Also, Mm-wave radars that find extensive use in automotive safety devices in luxury vehicles are gradually penetrating the middle tier vehicle segment.
As stated by the new market research report on Millimeter Wave Equipment, the United States represents the largest market worldwide. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest growing market with a robust CAGR of 67% over the analysis period. China and India are forecast to fuel demand for rich Internet media services, which require improved back haul transmission links, thereby increasing the requirement of millimeter wave technology.
Key players covered in the report include Aviat Networks, BridgeWave Communications, DragonWave, E-Band Communications, ELVA-1, and Siklu Communication Ltd., among others.
The research report titled "Millimeter Wave Equipment: A Global Strategic Business Report" announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc., provides a comprehensive review of market trends, drivers, company profiles, mergers, acquisitions and other strategic industry activity. The report provides market estimates and projections for all major geographic markets such as the US, Canada, Japan, Europe (France, Germany, Italy, UK, Spain, Russia and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific, and Rest of World.

Today a private guide will take you to the Great Wall at Mutianyu, located 45 miles northeast of Beijing. This section winds along lofty, cragged mountains for 1.4 miles and holds a prominent place in Chinese military history. Construction started in the Northern Qi Dynasty (550-577) and was restored in the early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). There is an abundance of natural springs which feed a great variety of verdant plants and ancient trees. Built mainly from granite with 8 meter high walls that are 5 meter wide at the top, this section of the Great Wall is notable for its 22 watchtowers, suggesting a significant military importance. The tour includes lunch at a local restaurant.
You will be picked up from your Beijing hotel and taken on a half day private guided tour of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City with a deluxe lunch. Tiananmen Square was built in 1417 during the Ming Dynasty and was the front door of the Forbidden City. The present square stretches a vast 440,000 square meters and features Tiananmen Tower, Monument to the People's Heroes, Great Hall of the People, and Mao Zedong Memorial Hall. The Forbidden City is the world's largest palace complex with 9,999 buildings across 74 hectares, surrounded by a six meter deep moat and a ten meter wall, and divided into two parts. The Outer Court was where the emperor exercised his supreme power over the nation. The Inner Court was where he lived with his royal family. Fourteen emperors of the Ming dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing dynasty reigned here until 1924.
Fly from Beijing to Lhasa. Flight time is approximately 4 hours.
Take the afternoon to rest at your hotel to allow your body to acclimatize. Try to minimize physical activity to avoid the effects of altitude sickness.
Enjoy a full day tour of Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, and Bhakor Street. Originally built by King Songtsen Gampo in the seventh century, Potala Palace was rebuilt by the Fifth Dalai Lama in 1645, and became the seat of Dalai Lamas and political center of Tibet. Jokhang Temple is located in central Lhasa and is the ultimate pilgrimage destination for Tibetan Pilgrims. Bhakor is the oldest road in Lhasa that pilgrims tramped out around Jokhang Temple through centuries. Buddhist pilgrims walk or progress by body-lengths along the street clockwise every day into the night. The circular road is also a marketplace for printed scriptures, cloth prayer flags, and religious items. Lunch is included.
Enjoy a full day private guided tour of Drepung Monastery and Sera Monastery. The Drepung Monastery is the most important monastery of the Gelugpa sect in Tibetan Buddhism. Seen from afar, its grand, white construction gives the monastery the appearance of a heap of rice, so it was given the name 'Drepung' which in Tibetan means "collecting rice". The Sera Monastery at the foot of Tatipu Hill is located in the northern suburb of Lhasa City and was built in 1419 during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The hill behind it was covered with wild roses in bloom when the monastery was built, so it was named Sera which means "wild rose" in Tibetan. Lunch is included.
Fly from Lhasa to Kathmandu. The flight time is approximately 1.5 hours.
Meet your driver for a private transfer between the city center and the airport. The approximate transfer time is 20 minutes.
This city tour of Kathmandu begins at one of the most unique protected UNESCO World Heritage Site. Durbar Square is the religious and social heart of Kathmandu's old city, and is a complex of palaces, temples, shrines, statues and courtyards built between the 12th and 18th centuries by the ancient kings of Nepal. The square is a lavish assortment of the old and the new - elaborately carved architectural features and curving roofs provide shelter for cows, beggars and weary tourists; Brahman priests and painted Sadhus perform rituals and pose for photos, while souvenir sellers and rickshaw drivers compete for attention among the crowds. Stone lions guard the gates to the Old Royal Palace that contains a number of courtyards and several museums. Set into the palace wall is a 17th-century stone inscription written in 15 languages; it is believed that milk will flow from the spout below if anyone deciphers the entire inscription. On the other side of the square, the Kasthamandap temple is an open pavilion topped by a pyramidal tower, said to be created from the wood of a single tree. It is purportedly the valley's oldest building, and the city of Kathmandu derives its name from this ancient temple.
This Mount Everest Scenic flight provides the best way to catch a birds-eye view of the picturesque Everest region.

"My trip to China proved to be an outstanding experience. Each location provided excellent learning and entertainment opportunities. The country was very impressive both in its deep history and in the huge modernization that has taken place in recent decades. The tour guides at each location were well informed and able to answer questions while also offering detailed information at all sites. It was a pleasure to be so well taken care of. The guides and drivers were always helpful. The meals on the tour were delicious and varied. I was pleased with the choice of restaurants. The hotels were comfortable and well located. I will recommend Kensington Tours. "

"The trip was fantastic!!!Each guide and driver gave us so much information and were so helpful. They made sure that they took good care of our well being and requests. My husband, who we all call "the reluctant traveler" said, halfway through the trip, where are we going next? He said if he can go with Kensington then he will go anyplace. Thanks for making our trip to China a memorable experience."

"100% satisfied! We had a wonderful trip. Our travel adviser, Tony Newman put together a tour that included everywhere we wanted to visit and within our very limited time frame. Conrad, who booked our transportation was very professional. The tour guides, hotel accommodations and transportation arrangements were all excellent. We will be using Kensington Tours again!"

"We were so impressed with all aspects of the trip that Kensington arranged for us - even at short notice. The itinerary was perfectly planned, full of extra activities like riding an elephant and a water buffalo cart ride. The guides were wonderful in all the places we went and the travel was easy between locations. Vietnam is a wonderful destination and Angkor Wat is amazing too. We loved the overnight on the boat in Halong Bay and the train ride to Sapa. The day we spent trekking between indigenous villages in the mountains of Sapa was one of the most interesting days of my life! We have travelled a lot and this was one of the best trips we have ever taken."

"I have to admit, this was the BEST vacation I ever had. The tour was nothing less than Fantastic! The hotels were great, the guides were great, the transportation was great, the places were great, the people were great, the food was great and last but not least China, itself was out of this world. I'm so glad I booked this tour and would recommend this to anyone. Thanks so much for all your help, your interest and your recommendations. Steve in China was so attentive, he called constantly to make sure everything was fine. We really had a fabulous time and even my jaded husband who normally only seems to care about where the nearest golf course is, was impressed and had a wonderful time.
Thanks again, and unto the next vacation (although I don't know how we would top this one!!)

Kolkata: Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee said here on Thursday that Assembly elections in the State, due next year, are expected to be held this coming October along with a few other States, including neighbouring Bihar.
Releasing the party's manifesto for this month's elections to the Kolkata Municipal Corporation, Ms. Banerjee said: "As a political worker, I have a feeling that Assembly elections will be held in October when a few other States will also be going to the polls. It is our political calculation that the current State government, which is virtually non-functional for the last one year, will be shown the door in October."
She said her party would demand early elections if it manages to win a majority in the civic elections on May 30.
Asked if she had discussed the proposition with the Centre, Ms. Banerjee said she had had several discussions with Union Home Minister P. Chidamabaram on the issue but refused to divulge details.
Political decision
"It is a political decision. I have spoken several times to the Union Home Minister but since I am a part of the UPA government, I cannot disclose the details. The Centre has sufficient evidence against the Communist Party of India (Marxist) trying to destroy the Constitution in the State," she asserted.
Though less caustic than she has been in recent days towards the Congress leadership with whom her party's alliance did not materialise, Ms. Banerjee once more appealed to the people against division of anti-Left votes.
Claiming that only the Trinamool Congress can "salvage" West Bengal from the "clutches of the Left Front", she urged the people not to fall victim to provocations of "powers trying to strengthen the CPI(M)".

New legislation proposed in Illinois in 2013 would change the rules of workers' compensation payments, making it more difficult for some injured workers to receive benefits after a workplace accident. These changes to workers' compensation law would have a considerable impact in a state where more than 150,000 on-the-job injuries occur every year.
New policies regarding employees discharged for cause
Under the proposed bill SB2625, employers would no longer be required to pay temporary partial disability to employees who have been terminated for cause. Employees who feel they have been unfairly fired and denied benefits would be able to request a hearing with the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission. If the termination is found not to be the employee's fault, all benefits would be restored and retroactively paid from the time the employee became disabled.
Repeated injuries on the job
Another bill proposed in Illinois, SB2623, amends the Workers' Compensation Act to decrease benefits for workers who have been injured repeatedly in the same part of their body. Under this new legislation, an employee who has already been awarded partial disability for a non-disfiguring injury to a specific body part will have the amount of that award deducted from any further claims for injury to that body part. Details of the bill include the following:
These regulations are designed to cut down on redundant claims and disproportionately high awards for minor injuries.
Controversy surrounding the proposed guidelines
Although the new guidelines proposed in Illinois would decrease costs for employers and insurers, arguably creating a healthier business climate, some labor advocates say that the guidelines would leave injured workers in danger of insufficient compensation. SB2623 could be especially problematic in hazardous jobs where a single part of the body is at risk many times a day or might be injured multiple times in an employee's career. Under the new regulations of SB2625, unethical employers could also terminate injured workers for fictional causes to avoid paying costly workers' compensation benefits.
If these new bills are approved, Illinois workers could find it more challenging to apply for benefits after a workplace illness or injury.

Talisay tricycle drivers receive fuel subsidy
TRICYCLE drivers in Talisay City started receiving P150 cash for fuel subsidy on Wednesday.
Emma Macuto, Talisay City treasurer, said there are 1,746 legitimate tricycle drivers in the city who will receive assistance from the government's fuel subsidy program.
She said they would accommodate 150 tricycle drivers per day and expect the distribution to be done by the middle of August.
Angelino Gonzalez Jr., 38, vice president of Mohon, Pooc, Biasong Tricycle Drivers Association (MOPOBIA), said the subsidy is too small and not enough to compensate for the increase in prices of gasoline.
"Gamay ra gyud kaayo (P150 fuel subsidy) kay dili gani paigo sa tulo ka litro nga gasolina sa usa ka adlaw kay P57.50 na gud ang litro sa gasolina (It (150 fuel subsidy) is very small because it is not even enough to purchase three liters of gasoline, which costs P57.50 per liter," Gonzalez said.
"But nevertheless, we are still thankful to President Aquino for the assistance," Gonzalez said.
The requirements to get the subsidy are the official receipt of the motorcycle, tricycle franchise and valid identification card. CORRESPONDENT GABRIEL C. BONJOC

Endohedral Metallofullerenes are Formed by Directed by Charge Transfer
16 February 2015
An understanding of the formation mechanism of endohedral metallofullerenes may pave the way towards targeted synthesis of these nanomaterials, which are attractive for use in biomedicine and renewable energy. Their bottom-up synthesis is investigated and charge transfer from the encapsulated metal to carbon cage is determined to play a key role in formation.

Escaped 'Rhino' Successfully Captured In Tokyo
Originally published on Thu February 9, 2012 12:40 pm
By Mark Memmott
In 2010, it was a guy dressed up in a tiger suit that wouldn't have scared many toddlers. One year keepers successfully captured a "zebra."
This year, officials at the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo had two guys in a papier-mâché rhino suit be the "escaped animal" in what The Telegraph says is an annual drill at various zoos around Tokyo.

It seems that jewelry and Valentine's Day go hand in hand. With this in mind, make a Jewelry Organizer Shadow Box from Tiffany Windsor that has an extra dose of love. Valentine's Day crafts for adults don't have to be loud and crazy. This one is understated and fun.
- Aleene's Tacky Dot Singles
- Jewelry organizer (fabric covered)
- Alphabet stickers (I used glossy black plastic alphabet letters with rhinestones)
- Wood hearts, heart stickers and heart knicknacks
- Acrylic paint
- Paintbrush
- Paper towels
- Wet wipes
- Pour paint onto palette. Load brush with paint.
- Brush onto paper towel to remove excess paint. You want the brush to feel almost dry of paint.
- Brush over surface of alphabet letters. With the dry brush technique, you will leave areas of the surface of the letter unpainted. This will give you a "peeling paint" aged effect. Let the paint dry. If you like, you can pull more paint color off by using a wet wipe and gently wiping over the letter.
- After cutting the scrapbook paper to the desired size, I dry brushed over the paper to give it a vintage effect.
- To keep with the design scheme, I also dry brushed the stickers.
- Attach the scrapbook paper into each of the compartments with Aleene's Tacky Dot Singles. You'll just need a couple to hold in place. Use the Tacky Dots to secure your other knicknacks in place on the paper.
