Hello! I'm so happy about what's on my desk this week! I'm trying altered art, it's my first time and it's so much fun! I can't belive I've never tried this before. I joined this free online class I blogged about it a few days ago. Here's the link if you're intersted http://willowing.ning.com/main  scroll down to the middle, where you see the picture of Tam. She's the very kind soul offering this free course. If you'd like, you can scroll down just a little to the Friday, 15 post and watch the video. Hope you have a great rest of the week :) Off to check out your desk!

So way back in june I started this project, but I didn't get around to finishing it because I was looking for a smaller nose that looked more like a dog nose Well, I never found it, but this is for my friend and she needed it. So I gave up looking and made it with what I had. I like it, it looks ok with the nose I had. I changed the eyes to a brown/black combo. This is how he begun.            Meet Rex :)

I found this awesome online art class for FREE! That's right a free class! If you like mixed media, or want to start (like I do), you might be interested in joining me for this 4 week course. It will be done through pre-recorded videos and pdf files posted on the group website. It starts Oct. 18, it's coming up soon! I'm so excited!

WoW! 70 and still going strong, that's gotta feel great! Thank you Julia for this wonderful cure to the mid-week slump! In case you don't know, WOYWW is the day when we crafters get to take a snoop at each other's desks and get some tips, ideas from each other. If you want to see some more desks go over to Julia's blog . Ok, so I did a lot of complaining last week about not having time to craft. I found out that it's true, but it's not so bad. I still get a little in here and there! I did manage to do a layout last week. Look for it in my previous post if you're interested. So here's what my desk looks like today. I'm showing off some stash I got at Michael's and Marshall's. I also started working on a layout with some of the new paper, so you can see what I'm thinking about doing here. If you want to put it your 5cents that's great :) Ok, so what do we have going on here? There's some of the pictures for the LO I'm pl...

Yay! I found some time to craft! Here's a quick layout I made for the paper varitey's challenge . "The sky's the limit" was the theme! I couldn't resist using my new birdie papers from DCWV's amber autumn value stack. It has really beautiful designs!  Here's my entry: It's a photo of my husand and I at the top of Echo mountain after having hiked for about 3.5 hours! We were tired but we made it to the top! ...and back (another 3.5 hours!) The photo looks a bit darker in this picture for some reason! It looks much better in real life. The journaling is all over the page, I had so much to say about this wonderful place.
