What Doodling Can Lead To...

I go back and forth between two notebooks I carry in my purse....

 

It's a great way to pass the time....

 

 

 

so then I thought, why not try something bigger like a portrait of my daughter and her dog....

 

Hali and Hanna



I may be addicted to this.....

Easy Fall Projects

 

I thought I would share some of my recent projects I've completed to add some fall decor.

 

I planted another terrarium this week and added a little Halloween flair....

 

by adding a few toy bugs.  I painted the grasshopper and praying mantis to eliminate the bold toy colors.

 

I like how it looks next to the pumpkin I decoupaged last year and my sugar skull.

 

And here's my version of recycled beer bottles.

 

 

 

 

Just spray paint them white and decorate with a Sharpie.

I love recycling projects!



 

Felted sugar skulls

I'm getting into the fall/Halloween spirit and just recently created this garland.....
