About Me

My photo
I'm so glad you dropped in for a visit, and hope you find something of interest on my blog. If so, I hope you will hit the FOLLOW button, and carry on this journey with me. It's always great to make new friends, and share our ideas and thoughts with each other. There is no telling what I will be getting myself into...just a fair warning...as I enjoy so many things! To name a few: I like drawing, painting, sketching, painting, wood burning, candle making, crocheting, canning, cooking, gardening, natural health, sharing thoughts and ideas, prepping for rainy days, and more. WHEW! I hope you enjoy it! And, I welcome any suggestions from you, as well.
I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a designer (for DecoArt), and a artist (published a few times in magazines). I also have a bachelor's degree in Natural Health Science's. I have so many hobbies and things I dabble in, that I hope you find something of interest!

Joann's Open House - Come Meet Me!

Tomorrow, Saturday April 7th, I will be at Joann's Crafts on Washington Road!  If you are anywhere near there, would love for you to come by and introduce yourself.  I will be demonstrating the new Social Artworking classes that I will be teaching soon in their store.   There will be a sign up sheet for the new classes, which actually begin on Wednesday (next week) from 12-3, and will be (tentatively) scheduled each 1st Wednesday of the month, same time.  I'd love for you to join us!  If you'd like more information on the Social Artworking classes, you can go to any Joann's, and they have the new products already in stock in the stores.  There are some really awesome patterns in this program and I really think you will enjoy them!

I've already been practicing a few of them myself, and have found this series to be simple enough to look complex, but easy for anyone to do.  I really think you'll enjoy it : ) 

If you get the chance, I do hope to see you on Saturday.  I'll be there from 1-3.  And, perhaps you'll take a class with me! : )  Bye for now!  There is a canvas calling my name!  lol...

April's Fool Day!

I had thought about coming on here, typing up some grand joke to play on my friends and family...but they know me too well, so it would never work. Lol.

So, I just wanted to wish you all a great day, and remind you to be wary of those who might be just waiting to spring a joke on you today!

I'll be working on some designs this afternoon, and hope to have them uploaded to this blog this week.  My plan is to put a few on there that you can just download, as well, and create something beautiful from them!  Until then...Keep crafting!

Cement Mushrooms! What Fun!


These cute little gems decorate any blank spot in your garden or flower pots!
I have had these posted for some time now on my Etsy site, and people just seem to love them.  Especially come the Spring and Summer, when we are trying to find things to brighten up our yards.  I like to think of them as little "Magical Mushrooms", filled with beautiful colors and bunches of glitter!  They just look like tiny little fairies would be hiding beneath them, lol.
