Halloween Burlap Banner

After the move it took me forever to find all of my spray paint since there were three, maybe four boxes full.

21 Halloween Paint Projects

I’ve been digging through my Halloween stash to see what I want to paint for this year and what I already have. I thought I’d paint a haunted house and then I realized I’d already done one. Maybe a spooky tree? Nope. Done that too. Well, dang. I might as well share the list with […]

Draw Wildflowers with Fabric Markers

Draw Wildflowers with Fabric Markers

For many people ‘summer’ means the beach. Sand, water, seashells. But not for me. Summer, to me, means the mountains, where I spent every childhood summer. The mountains – pine trees, pinecones, crystal blue lakes, and wildflowers. I’m trying to get Mom to our cabin as much as possible this year. I’ve made it my […]
