Color is an awesome thing. I love making my paintings with brilliant, rich color. Making color charts with my paints helps get rid of the guess work knowing what two colors would mix well for the color I am looking for while I’m painting a design. In this video I show you how to make a color chart with Winsor & Newton Cotman student grade watercolors. I mention organization of your designs and other tips, as well as talk about other color charts I have made.
Happy Creating,
Vicki
I’m ready to start traveling again, aren’t you?! Let’s get this Pandemic over with and start traveling again!
This is our beach house we stay at on our trip “Up North” Michigan. Just around the beach house is Lake Michigan and every night we walk to the lake to see breathtaking sunsets. I can’t wait to make this trip again!
So happy to share my 25 minute total body workout with you. I feel so loosened up and ready for the day after I do this. Exercise is so important for the mind, mood, and body. So happy I started exercising fifteen years ago.
Please check with your Doctor if you are going to do these exercises.
I wish you much success with your fitness journey!
Happy Healthy Heart and Happy Exercising,
Vicki
So happy to take the time to share with you how I lost 57 lbs. and ways I’ve tried to reduce my cholesterol for the last 15 years. I go into a lot of detail, share a few recipes with you and have a good “chat” about other stuff happening in my life. Come join me in my kitchen and have fun while trying to loose a few pounds.
I’m so excited to share with you my Fitness Journey. This is the first video of a three part series. Jan 20, 2020 I reached my goal weight. Covid hit last March and from then on I gained 5 lbs., (who didn’t?) however I lost those 5 lbs. and hit my goal weight Dec 19, 2020. I’m encouraged, inspired, and enthused to encourage all who are struggling with those cholesterol numbers. Please share this with a friend if they are struggling also. Because of Covid, I also couldn’t share these videos with you due to my oldest daughter and I not being able to get together to film my last video, sharing my exercise total body work out with you. I have decided it’s time to do these videos and Tom, my husband and I will film that video. Besides loving art, crafting, nature, cooking, God and family, I love thinking of all things healthy and sharing this with you is a long time coming.
Our last week of the season making Christmas tags. This will give us 25! So happy I did this again this year, this is so fun for me and hope you have gotten some ideas for your tags if you make them. Gingerbread men are so fun as tags for your gift bags. I think my grandchildren will enjoy these. Christmas is less than two weeks away.
Happy Christmas and Happy Creating!
Vicki
I love sparkly Christmas ornaments and this tag is definitely that. Christmas bags and gift wrap come in all colors and this silver/teal tag I will show you how to make would look so pretty with your silver, teal, or bags with snowflakes on them. Hope you are getting in the Christmas spirit to spread a little joy this Holiday.
Making these Christmas Tags is so much fun. It really puts me in the Christmas mood. I love Christmas and thinking about how this year we can still exchange gifts (social distance style) brings me so much joy. These tags will bring someone happiness to receive such a sweet tag.
I show you how to make little peppermint candies and tell you other ways to make this tag if you don’t have the same kind of materials I do.
Happy Creating,
Vicki
Hello Everyone,
I love the way you can get the look of gold without having to emboss, especially making more than one at a time, it saves a lot of time. I’m so happy to share how I got my design idea with you and also share where I store my gift tags. Where do you store your gift tags?
I look forward to next week when I can show you part 3 of our 5 part series of “25 Tags Till Christmas”.
Happy Creating and Happy Thanksgiving!
Vicki
I love this time of year, preparing for Christmas. I learned long ago that I enjoy it when I prepare way in advance so that I won’t feel rushed. In this video I show you my first 5 gift tags I will put on my gifts, one we will make together. By the end of five weeks we will have made 25, just in time for your Christmas giving. Each set of 5 will be a different design. They also make nice Christmas gifts that someone could use next Christmas.
Happy Creating,
Vicki
