I love sharing fun sites I come across! The first one is a fun cupcake site....they also have a cupcake challenge going on so stop by and take a peek. I had hoped to take the challenge this week, but our weather turned to scorching hot burning in hell weather so turning the oven on isn't an option right now! When it cools down again I am definitely going to get my cupcake creativity on!
Are these not adorable!?
The next site I found is an easy how-to-draw site so for those of you who think you can't draw take a peek and try again. Most times you just need a basic idea and a little practice which I've found out with all my whimsical drawings that I've done over the past year. As I've mentioned in previous posts I always carry in my purse a mechanical pencil, black fine tip pen and a mini sketchbook . I will practice drawing or doodling when I'm waiting somewhere.
Hey did that title get your attention? I thought I'd share what I'm working on....since the holidays will be here before we know it! Yes, I know it doesn't seem like it, but you all know it happens faster then a blinking twinkle light! So I'm trying to get a head start on projects now....you know that old saying....the road is paved with good intentions! ;-)
Here's a new mini sketchbook I've added to other ones I've created (see previous posts HERE). These make great gifts to give or to create and sell if your participating in a holiday boutique.
Here's a new whimsical drawings for Halloween I've started. I don't usually show a before picture, but I thought it might be fun for you to see the transformation as I erase get her just right for me to color. Again, I'm trying to get a jump on the holidays.
Lastly, here's a canvas I'm still working on. It started out with a paper napkin background and I've since added several layers of glaze and paint and will add several more layers, I'm sure, before I'm finished. This will probably be either a Christmas gift or a piece for resale for the holidays.
Maybe this will inspire you
to start thinking of gift
ideas now and you too can
get a jump on things.

Mini Sketchbooks
Here's a great Mother's day idea! Create a one of a kind
sketch/notebook for the mothers in your life.
The mini sketch/notebook I created by embellishing
pre bound sketchbooks that are 3x5- 50lb weight paper
with 100 micro perforated sheets. They're the perfect size
to carry in your purse. I always carry my favorite
drawing pencil and fine black pen in my purse but
I never have paper (I've been known to draw on
napkins or whatever scrap paper
I find in my purse LOL). I'm excited to
have my own snazzy mini sketchbook now :-)
3 of the books I used background paper I created
using my Electric Neon Color Mists,
black gesso and or black spray webbing.
