What amazing fun making this alterted book for my swap exchanged, felt like a kid again, scissors, glue and paper what more could you want.
She has been in my mind for a long time and finally she is coming to life. She is constructed out of paper clay. I really love this product but it does not dry very smooth, I smoothed out her body with sand paper. Painting the face always scares the hell out of me, but I am very happy with it. I guess I am getting better at it, but have a long way to go. 
This wonderful donation to the thrift store would of sat on display forever since it had a huge ink stain on it. I covered buttons with fabric and sewed them on which covered the ink stain but also added a little fun. So back to the thrift store it goes tomorrow and hopefully home with some one soon... 
I love vintage hat boxes. I picked the larger one up at a yard sale a few years back the smaller one came into the thrift store last week.
I bought this great t-shirt last year at Wal-mart. It was of course too small. I will be just as happy to carry it as a bag instead.
A great friend of mine saved this old shadow box from the trash for me. After a lot of scrubbing, I cut out paint chip samples and odd-end pieces of paper I have been saving to line it with. I am really happy with the end result. It looks so small in the photo but it rather large. 
Wonderful week, skyping and crafting with my sister Gail. Upcycling, old jewerly into new life. I volunteer at a thrift store and get all the old broken pieces of jewelry, it is so much fun to make new items from. 
So turning 45 sent me straight o the book store and to the children's section to buy a Fairy book and the Princess of Alyss of Wonderland. Both of which make me very happy. Never to old for what brings happiness!
I just can not get enough of these bottle caps . They are so much fun to make, and very addicting. These guys are perfect for today is my birthday.
I collect broken pieces for jewelry in hopes of using for other projects. This bracelet is made up such materials and a resin covered image from a magazine. 
Holidays are over and all I can think about is spring cleaning and organizing. I moved, cleaned and organized. I know it is not spring yet but why not start early. 
I have been making these resin filled bottle caps for months so it was time to make some jewelry. Most of these will go to the thrift store I volunteer at.
