“Christmas Recap & Nature’s Best Art in 2020”

Hello Everyone, I love to reflect on such happy memories. Hope you too had wonderful moments with family and friends this past holiday.

2019 Happy Memories

I’m looking forward to new beginnings; exploring techniques with watercolor, working with my pressed flowers, making cards, using the tools that I have to make projects, sharing my fitness journey with you and much more.

Hope you can join in the fun each week.

Happy Creating,

“Painting a Deer in Watercolor”

Hello Everyone, I’m very excited today as my husband Tom just completed making the puzzle I talked about out of my bunny I painted last week for my grandchildren.

A puzzle made from a Watercolor painting

Today I painted a deer for my other grandchildren that will also be turned into a puzzle. Hopefully he can get that done in the next few days – already for Christmas!! I will show you a picture of it.

Painting a Deer in Watercolor

Soon I will show you a picture of our Christmas cards we made this year as that was my 7th project I accomplished this year as I mentioned in another video – turning my materials I have in the craft room into something!

Hope you are having fun and able to stay calm and happy preparing for the holiday too.

Happy Holidays & Happy Creating,

Vicki

I think you’ll enjoy making this tag. I just decided to add the bow today and I love that look. I love using twine, it just gives things that rustic look that I love.

Have fun and happy creating,

Vicki

“2nd Week of 25 Tags Till Christmas 2019”

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,

“Let’s Paint a Fall Wagon of Pumpkins and Mums”

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.

Happy Creating,

Vicki

“Let’s Paint Pumpkins, Leaves, and Acorns in Autumn

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

“Let’s Paint Decorative Corn For Fall”

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
