<br />
I'll start off by saying, the pictures do not really show how pretty this breadbox really is (was) I really fell in Love with this!<br />
<br />
It was a custom order from my Etsy Shop, a customer contacted me after seeing another one I did, and wanted me to make one for her. I just happened to have the box below, and it was just what she was looking for. She sent me the Graphics she wanted (from The Graphic Fairy) I worked with her on the placement, and together we came up with this. The front graphic was not the easiest to get positioned just right,<br />

<br />
I used the "Frezer paper" method to apply the transfer, a little tricky with the front graphic, as I had to stretch it and print it on 2 sheets of paper and peice it together. I lost count on how many times I had to repaint the front of this box! But in the end, I think we were both really pleased. <br />

I want to share the review she left for me:<br />

<u><span style="color: navy;">Ephesians 6:10</span></u></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. </span><a href="http://www.ibs.org/"></a></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I've been admiring all the hydrangea wreaths on
Pinterest, and have been wanting to make one. Waiting to dry the few
blossoms from my plants, but they didn't dry very well... I tried two
different techniques, and failed at both... I put some in water and
waited...they kept their color, but shriveled up, I cut some and just
left them dry, they didn't shrivel but lost all their color. I may
try to paint those, I'll post if I do.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I looked at buying silk hydrangea stems, but they are pretty
pricey...Then I scored these for FREE! My niece used these for her
Wedding, 3 stems on each table, and didn't want to keep them, did I
want them? You bet I did!</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I gave this one to my Daughter-in-Law, and I still need to make one for myself, and I'm going to make one for my neice (since she gave me all these Beautiful Flowers!)</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This was seriously the easiest wreath I've ever made! I didn't even need to use any wire!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I just cut the stems about 6" long, and stuck them thru a grapevine wreath, I squeezed them in pretty tight, I wanted a really full wreath.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After I had all the blossoms in, I hot glued them in place and cut off the stem as short as possible so it would lay flat.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">To late in the Summer to fill with Flowers, Mums were a thought, but I wanted something a little less costly, so I dug into my stash of old Clay Flower pots, now it looks like I'm cleaning up!</span><br />

I'm BACK! At least I think I am...<br />
Just sort of "testing" the waters to see if I even remember how to do this!<br />
I can't believe I haven't post in almost a year...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g-OrxpZn7Aw/U_LtKfSlsdI/AAAAAAAAKro/xK-9MtUulLI/s1600/A-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g-OrxpZn7Aw/U_LtKfSlsdI/AAAAAAAAKro/xK-9MtUulLI/s1600/A-1.jpg" height="632" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I so enjoyed all this, Life just got in the way, you know how that is...<br />
But, I so missed this and decided it was time to make time and get back to the things I enjoy, the things that make me, well me!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZjuHjVqpyTs/U_LtQJX3WNI/AAAAAAAAKrw/t39UGEJ3M1U/s1600/a-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZjuHjVqpyTs/U_LtQJX3WNI/AAAAAAAAKrw/t39UGEJ3M1U/s1600/a-2.jpg" height="494" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I've been slowly getting back to Creating, and these books are a perfect creative outlet for me, I love getting out the paint, stencils and ink, dreaming up new designs...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I've even been selling them in my Etsy Store! Actually selling, not just listing! This has been a real boost for my deflated sense of worth as an, (dare I say it out loud) <em>Artist, me an artist? </em><br />
<br />
The dictionary Definition of <em>Artist</em>:<br />
<span class="def-number"><span class="oneClick-link">1.</span> </span><span class="oneClick-link">a</span> <span class="oneClick-link oneClick-available">person</span> <span class="oneClick-link">who</span> <span class="oneClick-link oneClick-available">produces</span> <span class="oneClick-link oneClick-available">works</span> <span class="oneClick-link">in</span> <span class="oneClick-link">any</span> <span class="oneClick-link">of</span> <span class="oneClick-link">the</span> <span class="oneClick-link">arts</span> <span class="oneClick-link">that</span> <span class="oneClick-link">are</span> <span class="oneClick-link oneClick-available">primarily</span> <span class="oneClick-link oneClick-available">subject</span> <span class="oneClick-link">to</span> <span class="oneClick-link">aesthetic</span> <span class="oneClick-link">criteria.</span> <br />
<div class="def-set">
<span class="def-number"><span class="oneClick-link">2.</span> </span><span class="oneClick-link">a</span> <span class="oneClick-link">person</span> <span class="oneClick-link">who</span> <span class="oneClick-link oneClick-available">practices</span> <span class="oneClick-link">one</span> <span class="oneClick-link">of</span> <span class="oneClick-link">the</span> <a class="dbox-xref dbox-roman" href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fine%20art">fine arts</a>, <span class="oneClick-link">especially</span> <span class="oneClick-link">a</span> <span class="oneClick-link oneClick-available">painter</span> <span class="oneClick-link">or</span> <span class="oneClick-link">sculptor.</span> </div>
<div class="def-set">
</div>
<div class="def-set">
Well, I'm no painter or sculptor...But I am Creative, I really am... This is who I am, what makes me Happy! I love to create!</div>
<br />
So yes, from this day forward I'm going to think of myself as an <em>Artist</em>! (sort of)<br />

So, I'm back! I've missed sharing, I've missed visiting with all of Blogland, and I have a lot of catching up to do. So if you've stumbled upon my little post, leave me a message, so I can come visit, and catch up on all the things I've missed from all my Favorite Artists, and hopefully make some new Blogging Friends!<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for Visiting!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This is the Potting Table I put together last summer. I'm calling this my "Before", since I was never really satisfied with it. I spent last summer putting it together and tweaking it, but it's still not the way I want it. Which is why I didn't post it last year.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love decorating with old books, this time I decided to Decorate the Books.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Usually I just stack them or wrap twine around them and add them to my vignettes. I've seen so many amazing decorated books I decided to try some for my self.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It was easy and fun!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Only 3 drawers to this dresser survived, (and a huge mirror) so rather than call it a complete loss I wanted to do something special with them. Well so far it's only the one, but I have plans for the others!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">One Beautiful Granddaughter and a few Dollar Tree props, add in a Painted Vintage Suitcase, and you have a Great Easter Photo Shoot, (for about $5.00) a fraction of what it would cost to have a professional do them.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nvVWC1OOkqo/UU8ONKo7W2I/AAAAAAAAE4A/k8cipFbfPzw/s1600/Corner+008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nvVWC1OOkqo/UU8ONKo7W2I/AAAAAAAAE4A/k8cipFbfPzw/s640/Corner+008.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Even though the calendar says spring... The weatherman is predicting yet another WINTER SNOW STORM! So while I anxiously await the arrival of the real Spring, I thought I would entertain myself with some pictures from last years Spring.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WRSqr_HY-cw/UU8NgJtyEyI/AAAAAAAAE3s/NTCQWjTXOgQ/s1600/corner+071.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WRSqr_HY-cw/UU8NgJtyEyI/AAAAAAAAE3s/NTCQWjTXOgQ/s640/corner+071.JPG" width="516" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">After winter it is always so cheerful to bring in the Spring! Combining the freshness of Flowers with "old" and Rust is one of my favorite ways to freshen things up.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0wSCeGIztyo/UU8ORkyn6iI/AAAAAAAAE4E/DycPMwGm0Bo/s1600/Corner+021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0wSCeGIztyo/UU8ORkyn6iI/AAAAAAAAE4E/DycPMwGm0Bo/s640/Corner+021.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Spring, a time of New Beginnings, an easy little project, a small birds nest made from chicken wire and moss, with a few little clay eggs.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GH52aeLsmiU/UU8OXB-HqSI/AAAAAAAAE4Q/c6eYzUsFc84/s1600/Corner+018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GH52aeLsmiU/UU8OXB-HqSI/AAAAAAAAE4Q/c6eYzUsFc84/s640/Corner+018.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Fresh Ivy from the yard adds a little green touch to the fresh daffodils. One of best things about my Spring display is that it didn't cost me a dime, I had everything I needed, just needed to shop around the house! </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r9eocBpsUbY/UU8O23Y0hCI/AAAAAAAAE4g/qI59TBaOXGs/s1600/Old+Ladder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="612" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r9eocBpsUbY/UU8O23Y0hCI/AAAAAAAAE4g/qI59TBaOXGs/s640/Old+Ladder.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I made the "He is Risen" Wreath from a small grapevine wreath, some moss and twigs from the yard, what better way to say All things are new again! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I made a few Cupid Arrows using sticks from the woods and some pages from an old Book. I coated the sticks with glue and sprinkled with Epsom Salts, to give them a little shimmery snow effect. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I hesitated a little with using the red accent, thought it might be a little too Christmasy, but I liked it so it stayed, at least for now.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I just love all the Mason Jar, waterless snow globes all over pinterest, so I had to do a couple, just some Epsom salts and Dollar Tree, Bottle trees, with a snowflake in the back. I topped them off with a little glass votive candle (stole the small one from my bathroom, it had q-tips and cotton balls in it)</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Dear 2012 me...</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
You mean 2012 is over? But I never... I
didn't get a chance to... All those plans, all those dreams.
</div>
2012 was going to be <i>my year</i><span style="font-style: normal;">!
I was going to make my Dreams come true. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-style: normal;">Maybe
you spent too much time wishing and dreaming and not enough time
planning and working. </span>
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-style: normal;">Now
wait a minute, I did some planning, I did work hard, just maybe not
hard enough. Dreams are hard work. Just figuring out what my dreams
are, is hard work. </span>
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-style: normal;">Let's
take a look back through 2012, and see what you (my 2012 self) was up
to.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><b>You
opened an Etsy Store</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"> –
and you actually sold some things!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="font-style: normal;">You
completed quite a few projects... </span></b><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">both
to sell and to keep</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><b>You
restarted your blog</b></span><span style="font-style: normal;"> –
after your blog was deleted, you had to think long and hard whether
it was worth “restoring” or not. Yes, it brought you joy. Yes you
enjoyed it...No, you can't say it was particularly successful.. and
it was very time consuming. You asked yourself some hard questions.
Was losing your blog a sign, a sign that you shouldn't be trying
this? Were you too far out of your comfort zone? Did God want you to
stop? Should you be spending your time more wisely? </span>
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-style: normal;">Well,
I still don't know the answers to most of those questions, but I do
know I Love it! I feel closer to God, than I have in a long time, so
maybe he's on board with this blog thing.. And stepping outside my
comfort zone is good, right? </span>

<span style="font-size: large;">What better way to start a fresh New Year than with Fresh Fallen Snow, covering all the muck and making everything look new...</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dJATot_G-2k/UOT56LLZ8cI/AAAAAAAAEf4/2Sy95ciLKBQ/s1600/aa1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dJATot_G-2k/UOT56LLZ8cI/AAAAAAAAEf4/2Sy95ciLKBQ/s640/aa1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">New Year's resolutions, yay or nay?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I usually don't do them, or I should say I don't "officially" make New Year's Resolutions. What I mean to say is, I don't usually State what my New Year's Resolutions are. If I don't officially say them, then I can't really fail, because I never really said I was going to do anything...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The beginning of a New Year is a time of reflection, a time to look back and a time to look Forward. Both have great value in our lives, both can bring Great Joy, and Great Sadness. There are of course things we'd like to accomplish, and things we'd like to change. Things we'd like to leave behind, and things we'd like to take with us as we move forward.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Isn't it wonderful that the New Year brings with it a chance for a fresh new start, to travel down a new path., or the opportunity to continue and improve the path we're on? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Actually doesn't each new day brings us new opportunities, new chances, fresh starts? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So even though I don't always make New Year's Resolutions, I make New Resolutions...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm soooooo not a list maker, I'm more a "Whatever" go with the flow... you get the gist</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was thinking about making a list of things I'd really like to accomplish this year, but things just weren't clicking into place, my goals are too sketchy for a list. So I decided to try and make an "Outline" instead. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Outline in progress, and I'll post as a "page" so I can keep it Handy!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'd also like to do some posts on my progress, maybe once a month to help keep me on track... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><em>Psalm 69:1-3</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><em>God, God save me! I'm in over my head, quicksand under me, swamp water over me; I'm going down for the third time. I'm hoarse from calling for help, bleary-eyed from searching the sky for God</em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;">Do you ever feel like this? This is me now, but through Prayer and Scripture, with my Focus on the Lord, I am determined to turn things around.</span></em><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I save things... I love to save things, I save way too many things. They are just things, but to me they are Treasures, and someday I may find a way to use them. Pinterest has helped me (alot) with finding useful, clever, beautiful ways to use and display my "Treasures"</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes I think I'm just one short step away from being labeled a Hoarder, and that's not a pretty concept.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But, sometimes it pays off</span>.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My Granddaughter was born 2 days before Thanksgiving, she came home from the hospital on Thanksgiving day, and they moved into their new home that day as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So when my Daughter asked me to decorate her porch, for her first Christmas in her new home my mind started racing...</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found an old Wooden Knife holder at the Thrift Store, Painted it with Homemade Chalk Paint. Distressed it a little with sandpaper.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used Freezer Paper to transfer an image from the Graphic Fairy, and Stenciled Numbers on the sides, and an Ampersand on the top.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.graphicsfairy-diy.com/2012/06/transfer-printable-french-grain-sack.html">http://www.graphicsfairy-diy.com/2012/06/transfer-printable-french-grain-sack.html</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Freezer paper is an easy way to add a transfer to your projects, it gives the transfer an faded time-worn look.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just use sheet of computer paper and some freezer paper. Spray the computer paper with spray adhesive, and lay it on a piece of freezer, cut the freezer paper out to the same size as the computer paper.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Choose your graphic, and print using a reverse print. Print on the "waxy" side of the freezer paper. While the ink is still wet place it on your project and rub the back with a credit card. Let it dry. I left if dry overnight [cause the first time I didn't and the ink smeared, :( ] Then apply several coats of a wax finish.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> I wasn't going to post, but then I thought some of you may still have your pumpkins hanging around. Save the stems! Dry them out and use them on your "Craft" pumpkins next year.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">These are the Burlap Pumpkins I made this year using the Dried Pumpkin Stems my Son saved me last year. I just threw them in an open box and forgot about them, they dried perfectly!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Since I'm on a Spending Freeze, I wanted to use the things I had... the burlap I bought last year for a project I never did... I have a stock pile of things for projects I never did, I'm sure some of you have similar stock, just waiting to be used. So instead of buying, I'm digging out the old to make some new things. I'm being thrifty.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I used an old bed pillow for the stuffing, and a ball of twine I had from the Dollar Tree</span>. <br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I just "pulled" off some stuffing and gathered it into a pumpkin shape. Cut the Burlap into a large Square and brought all 4 corners to the center and secured with a rubber band. The I just tucked the raw edges in, and squished the pumpkin into shape, added the twine, which came off the roll already Curled!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I made several sizes to use as a grouping. I used my hot glue gun to glue the Natural Dried Stems to the top, easy peasy!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's been awhile since I posted, just haven't been able to "get it together" I've been busy with projects, just haven't been able to turn anything into a post lately. So I figured I better jump back in. I've have a new baby Grandaughter that I am doing my best to spoil, so that's part of it, but mostly I just haven't been able to get anything in writing...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So I decided to paint is all white, then I added some light pink glitter to the Birds Tails, for just a little bit of bling</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I also added some painted pine cones, that I also "glittered" I thought I'd try the little pinecone trees instead of candles, and I do like it...but</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm not sure, I think I may like the candles better...I like the pine cones because they are different...</span><br />
