Playing with Paint...

This week, I tried out another paint/craft project. I saw this in one of those Somerset magazines, and I really liked it - changed the colors to match the theme of my crafty room. It didn't quite turn out like I wanted it to, but what can I say - I'm trying to teach myself this stuff, and the student can only be as good as the teacher... Anyway - finished project: If I don't get any better soon, I am going to give up and go back to work. Ha ha. Forgive my lack of format here, but I can't get the editing program to give me paragraphs, breaks, or decent spaces. :-( .

Bon Jour!

Hello again! Tearing myself away from my busy busy life (sarcasm) to post again. I had some visitors last weekend - my daughters came to spend a couple of days with us. Finally had a chance to make it down town again. I spotted some chalkboard jar labels at a little import store over a month ago, and have been obsessing about them ever since, so while the girls were exploring Barnes & Noble, I snuck next door to pick them up. I am going to have fun with these - they are the perfect size, and fun shapes for cards, don't you think? (this is one of 6 shapes.) Really thrifty too. Love it! Picked up some things to do a little more painting - slowly decorating my house... Have a great weekend! .

Spring Things

I had a busy week last week, visiting with family members. It is SO sad and depressing when they leave though... I got myself busy with some projects, to occupy my time and improve my craft room for future guests. Created this banner to hang over the window - inspiration and decoration rolled into one little project... ...I'm calling that room my "heavenly peace" room, so it's somehow appropriate - no? Also, I started some cards for my grand girls for Easter - had a little trouble designing them, so much so, that I missed the holiday completely - however, they are springy and fun-ish, and will work for my girlies anytime... The sun is shining - it's another beautiful day - off to clean up and go for a walk... .
