I recently participated in a fabric collage swap.  Don't you LOVE the FABULOUS collage Kim @ Blackberry Crows Prims made me???  It is so gorgeous & detailed.  The little bottle of real beach sand...shell beads...I just love it!  She really made something so personal...THANK YOU Kim!!! 

OK....so here is what I sent Kim.  You have NO idea how stressfull it was for me.  Paint, wood, glitter, paper...these are all things I am familiar with.  BUT fabric?????  AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!  SEW SCARY...I mean SO SCARY!!!  Kim loves primitive...I tried really hard to make something prim...but three collages later...and well...Kim got whimsical/primitive instead!  What was I thinking??  Fabric, sewing?????  When was the last time you challenged yourself in the craft/art world?  I try to do something every once in a while to challenge me.  I think that fabric may not be my medium...but you never know unless you try!!

It was a really fun swap...and swapping with Kim was GREAT!   

I feel like I really cheated using felt...and you know that fabric is not "your thing"  when you do not have even one pair of decent scissors that will cut fabric!!

Don't Hate Me Because I Don't Watch Football!!!

Who am I cheering on this Super Bowl Sunday?????  MMMMMMM...Who is playing???                     

OK....I actually do know who is playing....but only barely...like a few days ago!  You would think that I am the WORSE person in the world..."You don't watch football????"  I know...un-American...but I did not grow up watching it....AND my hubby does not watch it...so WHY WOULD I watch it????  I don't even understand it!!!  BUT...I do understand parties....so I am having a Super Bowl party this Sunday...I know weird:):)  Nacho Bar, cupcakes, beer...who needs football??? 

Signs for Etsy...
