Day 5: Theme Mandolins #30DOC

I painted bright and early this morning, before anyone else was even up. How refreshing. This is my day 5 entry for 30 Days of Creativity challenge. I actually started this painting two weeks ago. Normally I only paint on Monday. But, since we are done homeschooling, basically, for the year I have lots more time to paint. This was intended to be just vines and roses, but when I saw the theme for today was mandolin, I decided to paint in a Mandolin. I like it. The colors all blend very nice, though I wish I had added a soft blue as an over all background color, but I will have to remember that next time. I am always learning each time I create a painting. This is the only thing I got to do today, but I do have to say the pineapple salsa I made for the theme yesterday was delicious with our dinner chicken tonight. What did you create today? Tomorrow is sticks and I think I will be able to stick to it, because my other plans are probably going to be washed out by rain.

30 Days of Creativity

Starting June 1st I will be participating in the 30 Days of Creativity challenge.  This is my second year participating, and it is sponsored by Create Stuff.  You can hashtag your items like this #doc when sharing them.  If you would like to join in there is a FB page, and Twitter.  I have made a Pinterest board as well.  If you would like to Pin your items to my board, leave me a comment with your username and I will add you to the board.  This is a fun challenge and Caitlin and I get a kick out of it each year.  What will you create?  Join me won't you?

Day 1 of 30 Days Of Creativity

So, I joined a meme of sorts called, 30 Days of Creativity. Every day in June I have to create something. Today is day one, obviously. If it is a large project, you can show steps that you do each day, rather than trying to do the whole thing all in one day. Like this tire, that is around our mailbox. We spray painted it today, the paint has to dry, so tomorrow the dirt and flowers will go in. We have another one, the same color, that has cucumber plants in it. I have been meaning to do this second tire, but kept forgetting to get the spray paint. This challenge reminded me. As you see the bottom part of the mailbox post is red also. That is another project that will be completed on another day. Now I post this to Pinterest and Twitter, to prove I created something today.
