Blah Blah Blah

Blah Blah Blah this is how I have been feeling since the first of the year. I am uninspired, not motivated and any other words that are similar. I am forcing myself to post just to let my friends know I am still here. I am feeling alittle better today and worked on a charm bracelet for a friend. I am hoping to get back into the swing of things soon. I guess you can say I have the winter blues. I will post my Christmas Crafting soon and other goodies I worked on before the blues set.

I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.So basically, if you comment, I’ll send you something crafty that I’ll make!Once you sign up, copy and paste the above paragraph on your blog, and three other lucky people will be recipients of your handmade work.I found this on Angela's Art Diary blog and really like the idea.


Happy Creating

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

I have been very busy in my workshop but all I can show you is the glitter!!

Have a great Day.

Now on to the Christmas Crafting

I made this Fairy Picture for a good friend. I didn't have to buy anything extra for this project and I love that. I used an Picture frame, Polymer Clay, a washer (for the Moon), Super Glue Gel (LOVE THIS STUFF), and alot of GLITTER!!! I hope she likes it.

I just ordered my Canvas bags and they should be here this week. Thank you to all that gave me great Positive feed back about my "For the Children Pictures". It made me feel better about them.

I have downloaded my favorite Christmas CDs on my IPOD So I am ready for some Christmas creating.

Happy Creating.

Next...

Spiderman and the Punk Rock Skeleton.

Now that Halloween is over ( I have to say one of my least favorite Holidays), my favorite time of year begins. I love the time between November 1st and January 2. I have always loved decorating, baking, and creating during this time of year. Now I can add watching my kids to this list. I love showing them and including them in FamilyTraditions, and watching their eyes light up with the magic of the season.

I have a lot of projects in the works which is odd for me, I am usually still painting or gluing on Christmas Eve. Not to say that because I have started earlier that I still won't be painting and gluing on Christmas Eve, but I am optimistic.

Happy Creating!!

My attempt at drawing

Wow 2 post in 2 days, will wonders never cease.

So I am starting to work on an Eco-Friendly Project and these are 2 drawings (if that is what you want to call them) that I came up with. I have never been the best sketcher, but again I am trying to step out of my comfort zone.

Hopefully I will come up with some better drawings as the project moves ahead.

The first drawing was done with all chalk and the 2nd was done in watercolor (that I took from the kids art supplies shhhh)

Happy creating!!

The Mermaid that swam to me and other creative stuff

I received my Mermaid Swap from Ang.
She does Great work I just love the Color. I have it sitting near my workbench on a little easel.







This is the ATC she Sent me also a beautiful piece of art.
Love it.














I took a few creative leaps this past week. First I have attempted to create my own background paper. The pink one is done with tissue paper (from the Dollar Store) Mod Podge and some paper hearts made with a paper punch I never thought I would use. Oh yes and Glitter.

The second one is done using strips of paper and glue.

I am trying to step out of my comfort zone, baby step I guess.
