Fund Raiser Donation

i recently painted a few things as a donation for a fund raising auction to benefit Rawhide Rescue (which is where i adopted Bob from) i put everything in a box wrapped in paw print paper---of course i forgot to take a picture of that! But the rescue group loved it---i hope it helps them raise some $$$!

i adapted the design from a Laurie Speltz pattern:







a few special orders












You are not imagining things---debdogz did indeed paint some CATS! The customer loved them! i was so happy about that!

Jewelry Hanger

Played around with a wood plaque & Mod Podge---what fun!


Here's what i did---

Base coat a piece of wood (i used a scrap piece i had tried wood burning on)



Cut decorative scrapbook paper



Mod Podge the paper to the wood



Hammer nails at the bottom third of the wood - leave space for dangling jewelry - then glue some BLING to the ends of the nails



Staple a coordinating ribbon to the the back of the plaque



and it's done! GREAT gift for a teen Diva!

Enjoy!

Boy...this ain't easy!

It's another H-O-T one today...and i had an outdoor flea market to do. Yikes! i managed to sell one item...but again this was mostly "yard sale" stuff and not hand made art. So people were looking for bargains.

i'm going to persevere though...maybe try to find shows billed specifically as craft shows, because clearly when you ask about what a flea market is selling---and the person in charge says ALL sorts of regular vendors - someone is incorrect!!!! lol

Oh well...i have some customer orders to do anyway...that will keep me busy!
