Merry Christmas Hanging Snowflake

I traveled a lot this year and from before Halloween though until the second week of December, I was out and about in Europe and Asia. This was a good news, bad news sort of thing. Good news for me, I saw and experienced a lot of cool things. Bad news, this obviously cut into…

Holiday Elf Hat

I really love mixed media and assemblages.  It’s such a great way to use up bits and found objects, to create something that is really unique.  Recently I have been obsessed with Dollar Tree and 99 Cent store, trying to make my own customized table centerpieces for as little as possible.  This project happens to…

Advent Day 17 & 18: Catch up with Tags
