the best form of flattery...

this is a water color painted by a local artist, Joyce Callaway...
she is awesome and as you know, I like to take photos...
and post them on a blog I created for our town and surrounding area...
she asked if she could use some of my images for inspiration for her water color painting...
and I said...
help yourself!
and this is the first one that she has done...

and I did it!
finally finished this project...
and more to go...

and I did this yesterday, too...
printed off a pretty image and grabbed some saved cereal box parts...

I wanted to run the image through the cuttle bug, but at full size it wouldn't fit...
so, I cut the image in thirds...

that let it fit in the die...

and this is what they looked like after running them through...

glued it all on the cereal box pieces (2 glued together)...
toped with a sheet of black card stock...

put a hanger danger on it and it was done...
looks cute on the wall...

then I started playing with these...

just getting started...
need to make some clothes for this one...
need to refill my bear clothes tote...
but love the shoes...
need to make a tie for him, too...

its almost time to start of valentines and easter cards, too...
been thinking about different ideas for some really cute ones...
limited on how much time I spend doing this stuff and what I am able to do right now...
the shoulder is doing better, but this rotary cuff stuff hurts pretty good sometimes...
still doing my pt and working things out...
improvement is happening but not fast enough for me...
;0)
have good days!
