Hello Everyone,
It was fun making this video thinking of ten things I was thankful for this year that made me smile. I really can’t believe it’s almost the end of the year! I have kept happily busy!
I hope you have had a good year and can also think of ten things that have made you happy!
All the best to you always.
Happy Creating,
Vicki
Hello Everyone,
I’m excited to show you week Three’s Christmas tag I made. I think it’s a pretty one to add to our collection of our twenty-five we will end up making.
With the “Arctic Blast” upon us I hope everyone is safe. There is still plenty of time to shop for Christmas, but I’m glad I got mine done already. One of the many reasons I prepare early for Christmas is the weather. I like to stay cozy and warm when the cold and snow hits us hard like the other day. This is one more reason I like to make what I can in the craft room, little by little using my stash.
Happy Creating,
Vicki
Hello Everyone,
Week two of making Christmas tags for our bags is a really cute candy cane design using watercolor, stickles, embossing powder, and a gel pen. I think they turned out so cute! I love the look of candy canes.
Use whatever materials you have in the craft room and have fun!
Happy Creating,
Vicki
Hello Everyone! I’m excited to film this video. I made a Christmas tag a couple years ago and thought, I’m going to save this until we are able to film video’s to share this with you all. I will make five similar tags each video five times.
That will give us twenty-five tags for our gifts, just in time for Christmas. I thought twenty-five is a good number since Christmas is Dec. 25th. I like to make things in groups. Since I have all my materials out it’s just easier to make a good amount of something.
I used my “to and from” stamp on the back of these tags. If you don’t have one you can just write that.
Happy Creating,
Vicki
Hello Everyone, One of the things I enjoy about the Fall is participating in the Wall to Wall Art Show at the Community Center in Troy, Michigan. This year it is Sat., Oct. 26, 2019 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fall is in the air with all the wonderful colors, Thanksgiving and Christmas is fast approaching and I love all the preparations I do now so I can enjoy getting together with family and friends.
It is also time for our FALL SALE. The sale starts as soon as this video goes up until Nov. 16, 2019. We offer gifts for teachers, moms, grandmas, friends, aunts and anyone who is special in your life. We also offer Christmas cards, thank you cards, note cards, and greeting cards. Including one of our bookmarks or magnets in your greeting card is always a nice surprise for someone, also they make great stocking stuffers. Picking up a box of our special Watercolor greeting cards would also make a special gift, as well as our small framed originals. We are bringing some of my original Watercolor paintings and Limited Edition Pressed Floral Art.

Hello Everyone, What a happy time we had with our son and his family this past week. Today I am painting a wagon that they use to gather pumpkins and flowers after they choose them in the field. The wagon is my daughter-in-laws and she has had it for a very long time.
I love painting Fall pictures. So much to be thankful for.

Hello Everyone, Gathering leaves, acorns, and finding pretty pumpkins in Fall, does it get any better than that!
I love color and getting out my color chart was so much fun. This painting is loaded with rich warm colors. If you want to simplify this project, just eliminate some of the colors I used.
Happy Painting,
Vicki
Hello Everyone, Today we will paint a pen and watercolor picture. I had so much fun painting the corn and the look of the door.
I am really getting into the Fall mood today, as it is turning cooler and I just saw some trees on my morning trip to the Fitness Center that have turned color here in the great state of Michigan.
Happy Fall & Happy Creating,
Vicki
Hello Everyone, I’ve been looking forward to getting to those papers I have saved over the years to make something out of them – well today is the day.
I love Christmas and I start in September, wrapping and making sure I got everyone what I think they would like for Christmas. With all the hustle and bustle around that time of year, I can relax and enjoy the Holiday if everything is done weeks before.
Hope you enjoy this video, I enjoyed making it.
Happy Creating,
Vicki
Hello Everyone, I thought I’d paint this beach scene before Summer’s end! I had a good time painting this, I love the challenge of painting something new. There is so much to learn about painting, I love it.
I also mention some helpful tools you will see I use when painting and other helpful tips. Hope you can take a look.
Happy Painting/Creating,
Vicki
