Upcyled Paper Valentine's Day Decor

I am very bad at decorating for Valentine's Day.  Matter of fact try never.  So, I decided since I am trying to get my daughter more enthused about Artsy stuff we would do some Valentine's Day decorations.  If  you are like me you have a ton of books, magazines maybe even newspaper lying around.  This cool lady shared some easy Shabby Chic ideas using old paper.  We are definitely going to try this.  I will share our results after we get them done.  This holiday will be here soon, so if you want to join in better get going.  If you join in, share a pic in the comments.  I would love to see what everyone else comes up with.

Halloween Shot Glass Night Time at the Pumpkin Patch

I know, I know, I have not shared anything in a very long time.  Truth is I have been trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my love for crafts, and art, and my limited time.  I will be setting a goal of posting at least once  a day, hopefully two.  I would like to do one post from my Cafe Press art pieces, and one post from my Etsy shop.  We will see.  Below is my art on a shot glass, perfect for anyone who loves Halloween decor, or for a Halloween party, or wedding.  Cafe Press currently has a site wide sale too.  Be sure and check out my other pieces.  I still have tons more of my art to add, again the time thing, and some of them need better editing too.  I am #missy69 on Cafe Press and Etsy.  So, I am real easy to find.  I have a new Etsy sale each month.  Christmas is coming, so you need a special gift I am sure.  Click Halloween Shot Glass Night Time at the Pumpkin Patch.

Team Support and Promote Blogs With Me

This is a new feature that I have started on the Team Support and Promote threads on Etsy.  If you would like to join the group, just click the link and apply to join.  This week I have three lovely, handmade products to share with you.  Great for gift giving, or treat yourself.  I will be doing this team thread, for bloggers, at least once a month, and will try to get in two a month.  The first item would be awesome for back to school, those who like to buy and donate to Operation Christmas Child or maybe your local schools.  The second item, is actually a painting done by me of a Monarch butterfly.  Give it to the butterfly lover in your circle.  Shelley's adorable hand towel with delicious citrus fruits would look lovely in any kitchen.  Click the links below each product to visit their stores, and purchase, or window shop.

Baby Sea Turtle Abstract Art

If you look at this painting you will notice it has two dates on it. That is because I painted the circles, when I had a desire to learn more about Abstract Art. Then I just set it aside, thinking, yuck I don't even like it. Well I was going through some of my older pieces of art, deciding what to do with them, and I decided to paint some baby sea turtles onto the circles. Now this abstract I love. It is done in acrylics, and would make cute nursery art. I will be doing some more abstracts similar to this type of theme. I actually have a ton of finished resin pieces to share and list in my stores, just have not had the time to catch up. Soon, so watch for them. Some of them are really unique and cool. This painting is available to purchase in my Etsy store,
