OMG you crack me up!! Love this and the idea.

Oh my gosh....that was the best beginning of a page ever! I wasn't at inspired, but I'm pretty sure I figured that one out. ;-) I sure hope you had your shades drawn closed and the family wasn't home. lol Thanks so much for doing your Inspiration Wednesday videos. I look forward to them every week, almost obsessively. lol We recently moved and all of my art supplies have been packed up since the first of January, so watching your videos has really helped get me though this dry time of not being able to art. Love the glasses too!

Crazy funny ! Just so you know...after having met you at a workshop I am totally not surprised that you did this.
Was it just a coincidence that your starting point on each page is the same colour as your new glasses?

Hey Donna, this was my first time with your video's and Inspiration Wednesday... you are a little wacky wild and I love it! I have to say tho if I tried "She Art", it would have left splotches dripping down the entire page... hey that's what happens to the "girls" as they age! Thanks for inspiration and the fun!
Crafty Hugs,
Pendra
