Last Saturday's adventure with my parents started with a trip to Pearl Paint.

It's a store I had been to a long time ago;

two floors of colorful art supplies.

We planned to go again, but found it had moved quite a distance away.

We decided it was worth the hour trip.....take a ride, get some lunch.

This location was much smaller,

but seemed to be packed with just about as much stuff as the old location.

I picked up some modeling paste {so much fun to work with I've discovered},

some spray fixative, a few pens, small linoleum blocks {to carve my own stamps}, and some watercolor postcards.

My mom picked up some of the prettiest handmade papers from all over the world.

When we got home, she cut the large sheets in half so she could share them with me.

So sweet!

Then, as I mentioned yesterday,

we stumbled on Ikea and couldn't pass up the opportunity to check it out!

I snapped a few pictures of patterns that caught my eye, but the lighting in there was lousy for photos.

I picked up a few things for my craft room.

This fun wall mounted rod with buckets for odds and ends will go above my work table.

I also got this cute clip display. Not sure where in my room it's going, but I'll let you know.

This is the bedding that inspired yesterday's card.

Cute birds, huh?

Maybe I'll carve a bird like this into one of my linoleum blocks!

Thanks for stopping by!

I really just came to let you know that the File has been updated and there are some really great projects in there.

Take a look.

Have a great weekend!

Stamping Patterns With One Little Stamp

I'm having so much fun in my craft room today stamping patterns.

A little bit of planning, a couple of guide lines, and a lot of patience can produce something really unique.

Planning out my next pattern.

I haven't decided what I want to do with this one yet.....

Thanks for coming by today!

Gold Dipped Inspiration

Monday, January 21, 2013

Inspiration can come from anywhere. Home decor, jewelry, art, and even pencils!

These are the images that inspired yesterday's project!

I'm still having fun with translating this look into my craft projects so I'm sure I'll be posting more.

What is inspiring you these days?

Playa del Carmen {Mexico}

Monday, September 3, 2012

Here are a few more photos from our trip to Mexico. The first few show more street art. That's what I call it, but really it's on the beach!

These suckers were everywhere.

I'm used to lizards from growing up in FL, but these guys were huge:)

This is where we snorkeled all day {Xel-Ha}.

Talk about relaxing on the beach! There is such a nice breeze down by the water; these curtains blow around and it is so relaxing. When we got to our hotel/resort, we looked at each other and said, "We're staying here??" Nicest place I have ever stayed. It was all inclusive too. There were so many amazing restaurants, a spa, several pools, close to downtown, right on the beach...paradise!
