So......for some yummy SpRiNgTiMe inspiration:

 

I scored a box of VINTAGE wooden hangers at GW....my NEW GW that is just a mile from my house...loveeeeee....

 



 

Most of them had Mr. Fred Epting sharpied (is that a word) on them.....half were this type of suit/pants hangers...the other 1/2 were the spring load/clampy ones (no before pic!...sorry)

 

and sooooooooooooooo.......

 

I made up a huge assortment of DOUBLE-SIDED (kinda like a two-fer...gotta love that!) hangers that can be for displaying art...photos.....or even scrapbook pages (out of the books that no-one takes out to look at)....

 

They can be changed out so very easily...hang them around the house....one side has wordage..the other, assorted vintagey fun....

 

 

 

I used my ENDLESS supply stash of scrapbook papers...and applied with my FAVORITE medium of ModPodge....some assorted paints...and embellies....using what I have!

 

Hope you have enjoyed the hop so far!...scroll back up to the top...and visit the rest of our

 Spring Team!!!!

 

Have a super blessed day!

FLOWER POWER

 

What's this?...Well...actually something I have had sitting in one of my MANY "todo"

baskets for a few years....just waiting....and waiting.... for THIS:

 

OH MY GOODNESS!!!...such YUMMYNESS!!!!

...and a blast from the past!...a long, lost art of straw flowers!

From what I have read...these were creations made by women entrepeneurs from back in the 1960's.

I purchased a "kit" from Cathy Callahan several years ago....and because I bingbingbing thru many assorted crafts and mediums, it sat.......until NOW!

Getting back into the show circuit this year....I am already signed up for TWO awesome shows!!!

Revival Vintage Marketplace and Bella Rustica

both of which I am doing with my junk gypsy friend Wanda/The Grapevine Marketplace

AND........

my plan to build UP my etsy shop StudioBeeCreations is actually going to happen!

These sweet flowers...along with my mixed media canvases and paperdoll ARTBLOCKS...and MORE will be loaded into the shop SOON!!! Sooooo, if you cannot make it to the shows...be sure to shop ETSY...for handcrafted...homemade goodness...from the heart.

 

Now........what to do with the "leftovers"????....sigh...I cannot throw anything away!

 

Oh...I have an idea.......

All Things ALtered WINTER Blog Hop

 

Here we go again!!!...Another blog hop with some of my favorite artists....Sponsored by PammyJo at Scrapbookflair..follow the linky-do's...and enjoy the HOP!!!..Beeeeeee sure to leave a comment on each one....we LOVE to here from you!

 

I have made another canvas....my new addiction.....a mixed media..incorporating ANTIQUE quilt pieces and paints/inks/bookpapers/tissues/music sheets/glitter...and anything else that might have fallen on the floor (lol....just kidding!....maybe not!!)

DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?

 

Sweet...and oh so fun to make!..I took a rescued vintage quilt piece from a "bowtie quilt" and turned it into a snowman...with a hand-dyed carrot nose stitched on...His eyes are gigando snaps from my stash...some floss whipped around the outside edges makes him almost POP off the canvas ( but he is not going anywhere!)

 

Look closely at ALL the layers...OH MY GOODNESS...this is sooooooooo fun!!!

Some modelling paste and punchenella makes for awesome snow texture!

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE making these mixed media pieces..... The inspiration is never ending....My favorite music.....song titles.....and poems keep me creating these

OOAK pieces!

 

Hope you enjoy the HOP!!!

RANT...no pictures...just Venting....

Today...was just another day off from work...and I figured since we have lived here for over a year and a half, that I should try to go and get my driver's license...AGAIN!...I say, AGAIN, since this was the FOURTH time I have made the trip to DMV.

 

You see...I evidently need more proof....The first time, my birth certificate (with my feet stamped on it) was NOT the correct one....trip 2...not the correct MARRIAGE certificate that shows my maiden name/first married name/present name all linky-do'd together...

The 3rd time...was NOT the charm......I am thinking I remember THAT day, that the waiting room was totally filled with a gazillion others....WAITING...and I have never been a good waiter!

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo...TODAY.....WAS the day.......NOT!

The proof of residency, only had my hubby's name on it (somehow the marriage certificate did not linky-do enough for that)......"do you work?"...the sweet lady behind the desk says.....Yes....."So, you can call your work and have them fax over proof of your address and that will do"........Er....evidently having NO idea what THAT would entail....

Soooooooooooooooo ...I left...again....with no UPDATED drivers license..Thank goodness, my OLD one  from Tennessee  is still good for another 10 months.......Perhaps I will make it back over to DMV before then....wish me luck!

 

OK.....Rant over...venting finished......Now off to my HappyPlace...creating something FUN!!!

 

 

creative blessings,

debbie
