Home from two weeks of babysitting my 10 month old granddaughter. I forgot what it was like! She is walking and into everything! But, I wouldn't trade it for anything!!
More unstructured play.
Adding this to paintpartyfriday! Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement!

Paint Party Friday
Brrrr..... it is a very cold Friday here. I even did 2 hours of playground duty outside in the 7 degree wind chill.
Luckily I had done this little painting before heading out. This was inspired by a painting I saw on Pinterest. Love the sketchy feel to this. I want to practice more of these doggies and kitties.

The Magic of Christmas
We got to spend Christmas with our 9 month old granddaughter! Granted she had no idea what was going on but we had such fun anyway. She did love the tree and was grabbing anything she could!
I used this sketch from Stucksketches
Instead of more photos, I made a cluster in the middle.
Thank you for visiting! I hope you also enjoyed the magic of Christmas with family and friends!!

I Get Around
What to do on a super cold day? Stay inside and scrap!
My granddaughter got this cool trike/stroller for Christmas. So Christmas day we took it for a spin!
I dug through my stash and used a variety of tags and dies!
Turned this sketch from Stickitdown into a 2 pager!
USed a car to make tire tracks with Distress Oxide. Such fun!

Happy New Year
I think the sickie germs are finally leaving the house! We may just get over it yet!
Because of the germs and the extreme cold, I have not ventured too far from the house. This has given me time to clean up, organize and play. As I have said before, I have no formal artists training. I also tend to jump from one thing to the next. As a result, I don't take the time to properly learn or practice. So this year I am trying to find my niche. Trying to practice and grow.
I did this yesterday. I am trying to go lighter. To wait for the paint to dry. To use less paint. To learn what the brush does.
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate your kind words more than you know!

Mixed Media Canvas
I am so happy to be a part of this month's blog hop between Helmar Adhesives and Rinea Paper!
If you have never tried Rinea paper - it is made of two layers of aluminum foil with paper in between. There are so many ways to use it. I had fun die cutting and hand cutting it for this mixed media canvas
I would love for you to visit me over at Helmar to see the finished projects as well as the steps I took to make it!
Thank you for joining me today!
Wishing each you of a creative Happy new Year!
