I am having so much fun every year working in this book! Darianne looked through it this year and loves it! She said it is her favortie book so far. Did some other crafts for Christmas.. here a few.. and I also did some trades.. They were wonderful! Cerri from Little Pink Studio and I always trade around now, I look forward to it every year! I also love to trade with Cassondra Walters.. I also traded with Kristi and wow! she even made me a ROD journal that I have to share with you later!! Thank you dear friends! I am so grateful for my Art trades.  Here are a couple of photos ..

I know my friends that are not Art friends, think this is creepy.. but I like her..

What a great Holiday this was! Here are some pictures of Christmas..

Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday! Here's to 2013!!

Vintage style Santa and Snowman..

My First paperclay figures! I have been crafting like crazy and it feels so amazing! I had a full weekend to create.. so many ideas are flowing... There was a bag I bought maybe 2 years ago? of paperclay and the tools for it. I busted it out and started to create.. These little guys are my first ones! I am pretty proud of them considering I dont know what the heck I'm doing. I have more I have more!

This is part of the process of these little guys.. I moleded them and let them dry overnight.

I then dusted them with glitter and mica snow...

Darianne got in on the action and made her own snowman..

Here is her adorable littel snowman...

She told me she is not done, she wants to make a hat and wants to have his snowman holding something. But it turned out pretty cute. Thats not all of the Holiday crafts I came up with here are a few other goodies.. 

This mason jar snow globe is inspired by Anthropologie.. I making them for gifts this year. The mason jars were found at the 99 cent store. It kind of looks cute next to my little snow guy...

Maybe a snow scene on my fireplace mantle? Also made a different ornament... a deer head..

Here is the profile..

I have so many Ideas.. and so much more crafting to do!! 5 snowmen are waiting for me to glitter and paint! I have 4 Trades, Yes I am doing Holiday trades with some of my favorite online friends!! I love when I do trades... gets the creative juices flowing.. Hope you enjoyed these little guys!! 

Vintage style Christmas ornaments...

I had to share what Ive been working on! Went into the garage and pulled out all my Christmas boxes.. Yes, its here before we know it! The bases of these vintage style ornaments are the packs of silver snowflakes you find at the Dollar stores. Perfect bases! I also bought a pack of kid bracelettes (8 to a pack) at the Dollar store to use as a base for tinsel wreaths.. Then it was time to decorate.  Here they are up close..

I have more.. different ornaments that I am working on.... I will share in the next week.... so Excited for The Holidays!!!!! 

Mary Poppins ...

Wanted to share our Halloween. I started looking for my Halloween costume in January. Ive been wanting to stick to the same costume each year. Mary Poppins was on my mind. After trips to the Thrift stores and a couple of things on Etsy, I put it together! So fun!!!

So fun!! Here is a picture of my Bert...

And here is my Little D as a Angel...

I am going to post what Ive been working on!! Christmas .... its almost here.. and I am on schedule to make tons of ornaments for my Friends and Family. Next post! xo

Happy Halloween!

Whre have I been? Well I work at a new School. I am so grateful. It was a long time coming. My class, my Assistant and my classroom is amazing! Now that everything is settling down. I am making my Home ready for my Favorite Holdiay! Halloween! Made a couple of little crafts. Never thought of making coffins look cute or cool until I received one in a swap with Cassondra a couple years back. Thanks Cassondra.. I look at them in a new light now. They are about 80 cents at Michaels right now, so I picked up at least 10. Here are some of the ones I worked on:

 

I also made a couple of my little Dollar Store Halloween figures. They are so easy to dress up, like they are going to a Party. Put some paper hats, signs, glitter. They look vintage now...

 

Went to Disneyland for Mickey's Halloween Party Its a tradition for our family now. It gets me in the mood for Halloween. Hope you have a wonderful Fall Season!! Its my favorite time of year! xo

Newest Art Journals...

New Journal.... so inspired by Mary Ann Moss.. Bought her class online Full Tilt Boogie and her awesome labels.. so fun!! I needed this.. Ive been so blah on Art lately and uninspired. This was just the online class I needed! here is more from this journal and then I will show you my Portland journal.. The image was bought on ETSY.. love her! The binding was a little hard for me.. but it was my first one, and she did say to practice the binding technique.. but I didnt.. should have listened.

here is my Portland Travel Journal..

here are the inside pages..

 

Thank you for the inspiration Mary Ann Moss... I needed it!!! Also pinterest.. I hear you!

Art Journals

I have been working on my Art journals so much lately! I got inspired to work in them again through my drug: Pinterest...  These have been put away for at least a couple of years.. and I was not inspiredby them for a while .. but now its been a obsession lately. I am discovering doodling and many more mediums that I have never played with. I wanted to share the many pages that are inside. I tend to work in 3-4 at a time. 1 of the journals is for quotes and songs with many different kinds of colors. Another one is for me when I was growing up in the 1970's, and there are 2 dedicated to my daughter.  My little Family started gratitude journals. Wow, they have changed our lives. It was inspired by this book:

Love love love! Very inspiring. All about gratitude and living your best Life with Gratitude. I doodle in my Gratitude journal also.

Here are my recent pages:

That's it for now.. I gotta go... because its Friday night and I am working on these:

I also have 2 more of these left on my Etsy.. The Little Vintage Paris journal kits..
