Thanks for Being There

Hello Everyone,

Happy Saturday...well, sort of! This is my last weekend before going back to school on Monday! Summer flew right by, but I did get some yard work and paper crafting projects completed. I could use another couple weeks to finish decluttering, but I know the parents are probably ready to send their children back to start learning again.

This past Thursday I asked my daughter if she felt like going for a car ride since she had been in bed for a few days with her mouth being sore and being dizzy from the meds (She had all four wisdom teeth removed and some of the gums were trimmed back.). I thought some fresh air might help with recovery. She agreed and we went to My Favorite Things in Eustis, FL. I had no idea there was a real shop open for business less than an hour away. 
 It was like being in a candy store! So many choices! I did purchase  a few items and plan on going back for one of the classes on Saturdays.

Here is what I created with a few of my new goodies!

First, I used Ranger Distress inks to create the water color backgrounds.

Then I cut the scribble roses, the overlays, and the leaves with my Cuttlebug. 

Lastly, I cut the stitched circle and stamped it with my new Encouraging Words stamp. Matching sequins were carefully adhered. 
Challenges:

I am very pleased with the outcome. I had watched a few videos on watercolor techniques earlier in the week and was able to use them. Can't wait to use some more watercolors and the other goodies I bought at the MFT boutique. 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Stay Creative,
Georgiana

    1. Our store in town closed last year. MFT is about 45 miles away, but it is a nice country ride.

  6. First off hoping for a speedy recovery for your daughter. My daughter when she was in high school during a Summer had all 4 wisdom teeth removed. She was a trooper making sure she did everything she was told to get well. Like the flower creations. I like Die-namics dies. I grew up on E coast of FL but not sure where Eustis is so I'll google it.
