painted snowman tealight shade

I painted this Snowman Tealight Shade a couple weeks ago for my friend Beckie. What a treat to guest post on Infarrantly Creative! Beckie was my first bloggy friend and has been incredibly supportive and encouraging over the years. I’m thrilled to see how successful she’s become, yet still finds time to help all of […]

Watercolor Tee with Markers

A while back I made this watercolor tee shirt with fabric markers when I guest posted at Sweet Rose Studio. It was so fun I wanted to share it here so you could make one for yourself, or maybe as a gift! I made a video to show you how simple it is. This was […]

10 Flower Arranging Tips from an ex-florist

10 Tips Floral Arranging

Is floral arranging outdated? Seriously. Do you grab a bunch of stems, plop them into a container and call it ‘done’? I see that a lot. And that’s fine. But that’s not me. Sorry. Nope. I spent years as a florist, both in a flower shop and in a major craft store, and I still […]

Pink Rose Topiary Painting on Canvas

When I finished my last Halloween craft for this year, I looked around my workshop and thought, “What’s next?” Fall? Christmas? And then the nasty question that’s filled my head since my husband passed popped up. What am I supposed to do now? But this time it was different. This time I had an answer […]

Make Dollar Store Plates Spooky with Paint

October 15, 2012 By Colleen Jorgenson 1 Comment

Dollar Store Spooky Plates

Dollar Store Spooky House

DollarStore-SpookyHouse

Last month when I went on a buying rampage bought a few things at the dollar store, I picked up a felt haunted house. With absolutely no idea what I was gonna do with it. But, hey, it was only a dollar. You hear me, don’t you. (I was totally gonna say ‘you feel me’ […]
