The holidays have arrived faster than I realized…and I am running late getting my nephew’s advent calendar together. The fact that I have zero holiday wrapping paper isn’t a problem because I am going to make my own. But I needed to get this mailed out yesterday…so I need to get lots of wrapping paper [...]

It’s Tuesday and that means a new Let’s Play link party for all of us to share what we’ve been creating! What play have I been up to? I’ve been making a plan and then not following it. The plan came about while I was checking out the all the fun stuff shared in last week’s [...]
“Can I go over to Christi’s house?” “Can Maria come over?” As a kid, I was always asking to go to a friends house or to have a friend or two come over. Now I am an adult and I still want to play! So I am interrupting my grown up day for a little play! [...]
I am absolutely addicted to the fineline applicator. Why? Because it lets me write on just about anything in any color I want. The way the tip is designed, it doesn’t clog which is critical for me because I am not willing to clean. Not one of these has clogged on me yet. Beth Figiel [...]

In the video, you’ll see how these happy pumpkins became drippy layers of color fun. https://youtu.be/ejum9nsJLmA Watch What I Learned Painting a Pumpkin [...]
50 things to do. Time to only do 20 and the energy to do 3. Ever have a day like that? It was the kind of day where I hear I can’t a lot in my head thanks to a very unhelpful voice. Hearing I can’t is my signal to me that I need some art [...]
Guess what I did with my empty tubes of paint…I put water in them. Something simple that led to a whole lot of play. This created a very very watery paint in the tubes which was just perfect for squirting, flinging, and dripping. On a sunny afternoon I headed outside and made colorful splots [...]
This art journal page is nothing to sneeze at…because I did all the sneezing last week which led me to use an entire box of tissues…which is where I grabbed that great piece of pattern that started the whole page. I’ve got the entire process…well not the sneezing…in a video and guest post on Julie [...]
