• Day 22 Photo-A-Day Mason Jar

    Mason Jar Storage Photo-A-Day

    Photo-A-Day Mason Jar.  Finally, a SUPER easy photo! One I am excited (pfffttttt like I haven’t been excited all month!??!) to share with you. My March Photo-A-Day challenge is a compilation of about 6 different challenges. What makes this months unique is that it’s all pictures from the inside of my faBULOUS craft-room!! It’s an AMAZING space that’s all mine!! It’s also total chaos, it’s hoarder haven and it’s decorated like the inside of my mind.  I think it was Tamra that asked to be inside my head for 5 minutes…… wellllllllllllllll…….. this room is pretty much EXACTLY like that!!  Projects everywhere. Knick knacks enough to drive a person insane. Seriously!  Even this post has gone off it’s rails. So back on track; Mason Jar. My Grandma collected buttons. LIKE A SERIOUS obsession! Before she donated clothes buttons came off. The woman had a button that would match EVERY outfit you could buy. Some of them are so pretty and some are plain. They were in a round, rusted ribbon candy tin forever. (Yes, I do still have the rusted ribbon candy tin. Hoarder people!! It’s a sickness!!) So, I keep my pretty buttons on the counter top. They make…

  • Day 21 Photo-A-Day BUBBLES!?

    Bubble Paint Pour Experiment Photo-A-Day

    Today’s Photo-A-Day prompt is bubbles. BUBBLES?!  My other choices were negative space? Up close? My MOOD?? Yeah. Bubbles it is! Today I’m actually showing you a CRAFT instead of just my beautiful craft space! I am obsessed with cup pours (dirty pour, acrylic pours) artwork. Ever heard of it? I sure hadn’t. One day a new video popped up on YouTube and I was mesmerized. I just kept watching these videos. Finally, I decided ya know I packed all these craft paints. I have a ton of blank canvases; let’s do this thing!! First, it’s not as easy as they look! I mean it is and it isn’t.  The ratio is VERY important. The colors? Equally as important. My first three canvases looked like crap. (SURE! Start with a big canvas when you have no idea what you’re doing!)  So, I let them dry for a week and did a pour over the tops. HA! Recycling at it’s best! So for the BUBBLES prompt I did my own cup pour that came out pretty darn good for a beginner! Technically, these are cells and not bubbles but ya know… my challenge my interpretation. HA! I win! Now, while I am…

  • Day 20 Photo-A-Day My Choice

    Antique Humpty Dumpty Stitched art work Photo-A-Day

    Day 20 of my very own personal Photo-A-Day challenge. Just a little recap: For the month of March I am posting pictures from inside my HUGE craft-room. This is helping me get motivated to blog more often and share what an amazing space I have been blessed with.  I’m enjoying sharing my treasures with you and I’m seriously thinking of continuing into April.  I will share pictures of the inside of the rest of the house. Whaddya think? Then May the outside of the house? June could be the town of Sandpoint?  This might just work! Yes, these pictures show you what a hoarder, collector and wack-a-doddle I am. Now in my defense my Dad and my Grandfather were major hoarders so it’s in my DNA. Today’s prompt is My Choice. Technically, the entire month of March has been “MY CHOICE” but I’m going between 4 different lists picking and choosing which prompt to use. I’m going to share things that were made for me. From my welded horseshoe cowboy that my brother made me when he was in high school, 39 years ago. (That is my excuse for all the cobwebs on that bad boy!) Then a cross stitch…

  • Day 19 Photo-A-Day Black and White

    Framed art work Jack Jenkins Photo-A-Day

    Day 19 of my very own personal Photo-A-Day challenge. For the month of March I am posting pictures from inside my HUGE craft-room. This is helping me get motivated to blog more often and share what an amazing space I have been blessed with.  I’m enjoying sharing my treasures with you and I’m seriously thinking of continuing into April.  I will share pictures of the inside of the rest of the house.

Now in my defense my Dad and my Grandfather were major hoarders so it’s in my DNA. Today’s prompt is Black & White. My first thought was to show you several old family pictures that are in black and white but then I thought of my FAVORITE tip. Long ago……… like 40 years ago wait….. 43 years ago I worked at a small cafe in Rush Colorado. Now mind you the town of Rush is larger than the town of Yoder (where I grew up!) Yoder has a post office.  That’s IT. Rush has or…
