A Little Pink Christmas In June

 I decided to have a little Christmas in June.  The wooden tree is about 12 inches-painted it and than added pink mica chips.  When dry added pink bows and crystals the the end of each branch.

 I had this little house for a while-decided to make it for Christmas-so painted-added mica chips to the sides and German silver glitter to the roof.

 I painted the door and widows pink-added the wreath and pick tree .

I beached the green tree white and used pink ink to the branches-when dry added vintage glass balls and mica chips.

Altered Pringles Can

 Art For The Creative Mind has a altered pringles can swap.  Theme steam punk.  I cut the can in half soldered around the top and bottom.  Added images from Graphic 45.  Drilled holes around the to and added chain for hanging.

 Drilled some holes in the bottom of the can and added found objects.

 This is one of my favorite swaps this year.

Art For The Creative Mind always has great swaps.  This group really lets your imagination fly.

Thanks so much for the great swaps.

Spoon Bracelets With A Message

 I made these bracelets with a spoon.  I bent the spoons  in a c shape and flatten the spoon bowl.  On a couple of the bowls I cut in the shape of a rectangle.  I added a word to the bowl of the spool-added chains to complete the bracelets.

A Little Spring In The Air

 Another kit from debbie Hodge.  Love this one.  Really easy to do.

 I am going to hang the nest on my fire place and the photo cube on my desk.

It was a lot of fun and quick to do.

Coffee Filter Book

 Art For The Creative Mind had a coffee filter book swap.  The theme was Asian.  Here is my book.

 I covered the coffee filters with paper and left the ends open to make pockets.  I used images of lovely ladies.

 And filled the pockets with Asian items-made some into tags and others added beads.

 I had and old Asian paper doll and added it to one of the pockets.

 I joined the book together with ribbon.

 Here are all the things I added to the pockets.

Vintage Sale

 I found this lovely chair at our Woman club Vintage Sale.  There were so many treasures to choose from.

I will use this chair for my sewing table.  I think it will look to cute.  I can't decide if I should change the fabric or not.  I think I will live with it for now.

The Initial D

The group swap is with Art For The Creative Mind and we got a partner and we were to alter the person initial.  I have the letter D.  Can't say who it is yet because they have not received it.  I love this swap-so much fun.

New Crowns

 Love making crowns.  Got the base from Debbie Hodge.  I love to bring on the bling.

 This one has a lot of bling also.

EGGS

 I had fun doing up these eggs.  Debbie Hodge had these great kits for Easter.  I added a few of my own to items to decorate.  Love them.

Treasure Hunting

 I went hunting for treasure on Saturday.  Our Women Club had a Vintage Sale.  I was so lucky-so many treasures.

 The tin eggs are from our dime store that was in our town-they still have the name on them.  The pocket watches work but don't keep good time. (which is good because if they did I could not take them a part.

So much fun when you find great treasures.  Happy Hunting!!!

I Finished IT!!!!

 Well, I got her finished.  I have to say I like how she turned out.

 I first cleaned her up-she was very dirty.  Stamped images and saying all over her-then covered her in brown tissue paper-sealed her.

 I added the black vintage door knobs at her shoulders.

 I think she is going to be a great display for me.

Book Marks

 This swap is with Art For The Creative Mind.  Theme books.  I hope my swap buddy likes them.

 I made a couple extra.  One for a friend who's birthday is soon and other for a friend-just because.
