I haven't forgotten about you all, but these days, I just can't seem to find the time to get in my craft room. By that I mean I can't stand to go in there because it is such a mess. This week I am home alone. Mark and Kaitlynn are at Mission Fuge and Mallory is hanging with the grands in Texas. I will get the room cleaned out this week (maybe). I have so many projects I want to do around the house but it is just too hot to do anything. By noon, the heat has zapped all the energy. My poor air conditioner is working overtime to beat the heat and humidity. Until next time.....

Operation Art Room

Wow! It has been quite awhile since I last posted any projects. That's only because my art room has been taken over by all the things that don't have a home in my home. Well, enough is enough. Operation clean art room has begun. I am taking back my space from this junk so the creative juice will return. Say a prayer....I'm going in. I will post pictures later of my efforts. Wish me luck.

It's nearly Mardi Gras time

I have searched and searched for the perfect pair of purple glittered heels to wear to a Mardi Gras ball only to find they either had too high of a heel or too high of a price. So......I made my own. Comfortable shoes to dance in and they match my dress perfectly.

Then I had to paint the clutch to match. Even better....the clutch was $2.00 at a second hand store.

Hello Y'all

I bet you thought I would never post again, huh? It's funny how all of a sudden the inspiration stopped, and I just didn't know what to do. Or is it that I have so many ideas in my head that I didn't know where to start? Either way, I am back, and the Christmas crafting has begun. I started making cards for a Christmas Bizarre I have been invited to participate in, but I have so many other Christmas projects that I want to try, that I just can't seem to focus. Here are some of the projects I have been working on. Hope you enjoy.

My first attempt at Subway art. I wasn't very happy with this one, so I started researching How To videos and learned the proper technique (I think)

Christmas Card set #1

Christmas Card set #2

Such a cute little snow scene. I also tried a little embossing on this one.

Gift Tag #2

Gift tag #3

Gift tag #4 (it's a heavy little sucker with all the buttons)

Oh so many more tags........

My fist snowman made of foam balls, yarn, ribbon, and wire. (The hat and arms need work, but he came out so cute!)

Attempt #2 at Subway art. This is just phase one. I will paint the canvas today, remove the stickers, and see what kind of results I get. I sure hope it looks good. This sucker is going on top of my piano for the holidays.

I am finally coming to the end of the card projects for the Christmas Extravaganza on Friday. Honestly, I don't have much of an imagination left. Only one project left, to alter a composition notebook that I hope to take orders in. Here are some of the latest cards I have made. Hope you enjoy.

Busy, busy, busy

I have been keeping pretty busy getting ready for the little Christmas Extravaganza I have been invited to set up for. Here are a couple more cards and a neat little project I worked on today. Hope you enjoy.
