What I'm working on...

 Here's a few things I've been working on...
Altered Mousetraps
(I have to admit they're addicting!)

and
an altered Paint brush 
which I got the idea from
Donna Downey's 

I must admit I wasn't into purchasing a 
paint brush from her to alter and mail back 
to  her so I opted to purchase some cheapy 
paint brushes from the hardware store.

Enjoy!
