#1. ARTS and CRAFTS - It all started with one rubber stamp many, many years ago. The collection grew quickly and soon needed a room of its own. Here's a small part of my collection. Many have never been used but it was like buying small pieces of art.
From stamping I moved on to altered art and mixed media projects. My workspace is rather messy right now but honestly, it doesn't usually look like this. I have to clean up and organize before I can start a project.
#2. MESSY
#3. FUN - Many pretty color pens provide hours of fun for me. These are triple the fun since each pen has 3 different points.
#4. EFFORT - After a lot of effort - working with clay to make tiles - here is the result of all that crafty effort.
#5. BLESSING - I've been blessed with a wonderful husband and this weekend we celebrate our wedding anniversary. We've been married for many decades and I am thankful for every minute we shared
He has indulged all my creative endeavors .

I am not going to wait for the last minute to work on next week's list. Let's visit Scavenger Hunt Sunday now and get next week's list.
Holy cow, that's some collection!
ReplyDeleteLove the piece you featured -- beautiful.
Congrats on the anniversary....how lovely to have a long lasting marriage. Step away from the stamps-I'm seeing a little addiction issue there. : )
ReplyDeleteMy fave is that gorgeous piece you created. I love how it's a collage effect and the nature of the pieces used. Very nice.
I love your stamp collection and the smile on your face on your wedding pic.
ReplyDeleteWow your stamp collection is impressive.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on having a clean desk before starting a project and then it always ends up messy.
