Water Color Painted Paper

I use water color paper to paint on and just start with the color I like most and add to it...using water to thin it out and make it lighter...blending the colors together.....

This is very therapeutic 

My inspiration for this was the movie "Miss Potter" about Beatrix Potter....and while the credits are rolling in the beginning she is painting different shades of the same color.  I loved the way it looked and it gave me the idea to paint whole sheets and once they were dry I could use them for whatever I needed them for.

I also love tearing paper....I really like the way it looks..

So I cut a piece to fit, tore the top...

Then I just stamped the thank you on ...and put a thin line of glue following the line of the painting and sprinkled on some of the same color glitter....I really enjoy a little bit of "sparkle"  :-)

Homemade Frozen Orange Juice Pops

I'm getting a hankering for some frozen orange juice on a stick.  I haven't made them in a long time, but with this heat it keeps running through my head that they would taste good....or what about frozen pudding.....

All I use to do was pour whatever it is into an ice cube tray and put in the freezer....before it gets totally hard...put a toothpick in or craft stick...and continue freezing.

Give it a whirl and let me know how it goes...  hee hee

I might put my kids to this task

Fourth of July Shirt

transforming your t-shirt to fringy fun

I put a t-shirt under it instead of a tank top

I think if I did this again....I would shorten the sleeves a little...but leave sleeves. :-)
