Very honored ~

I love this photo ~ I took it way back the beginning of the year I believe....

some of my very favorite things to collect!

Yet another repeat baby....so sorry, I need to go shopping!!

I received a beautiful magazine in the mail today.

I'm so honored that Stampington added my Advent calendar to

this current issue of Handcrafted!!!

This issue is a gathering of past published artwork using

tons of different mediums...from sewing, to sculpture, to collage and more.

I found a few close-up photos of this labor of love calendar...

It was quite a doozy to create!!!

I loved using so many trinkets and treasures as little ornaments ~

I've had a few folks asking about the different glues I use ~

Below are my basic favorites!

I use Fabri-Tac for EVERYTHING!!

The matte gel medium is what I use to collage papers to surfaces.

I have several more goodies that I've acquired over the years

but these are my stock items!

I hope you're staying cool and comfortable during these

terribly hot days of summer ~
I am SO thankful for air conditioning!!!

Have a great Tuesday sweet friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn
