i am not traveling for the next 3 weeks and all i want to do is play. i want to create not for assignment or obligation, but just the pure joy of taking a blank canvas, adding color and seeing where it takes me.
this is what i have been playing with the past week...my heart is happy, my mojo refreshed, and my creative soul tapped and longing for more!
(used lots of my new 8" rubber stamps here...happiness!)
this one is a work in progress, waiting on the product i ordered to finish it! (i hate waiting)
but i really do love making a mess!
join me this week in some creative play and share what you can do with your blank canvases! i would love to see and share your creative ideas...inspiration and creativity lead to greater inspiration and creativity!
see more ideas and purchase canvas aprons, totes, small camera bags, and large camera bags here.

Hi Donna. I would love to win this. I've had my cricut for a year and still don't know all there is to know about it. Thank you so much for the chance to win. Have a great weekend, Jenny :)
What an awesome opportunity. I love Somerset magazines!
I love your creative moods. I am so glad your art has everyday use rather than just hung up on walls. So fun!

These are beautiful. I love your aprons that you make. They're all works of art. I especially like this one because I like pretty handwriting.
