Have you ever heard the saying,"10 lbs. squeezed into a 5 lb. bag?"

That would be my artroom. I love stuff, and by that I mean supplies to create with. I don't deny it ~ I love that if I need a gift for someone special, I have the materials to create a one-of-a-kind gift for them. But we live in a 3 bedroom ranch with a bonus room over the garage. And this little extra bedroom downstairs is my artroom. I have to tell you though, I just love it!

I'm so very thankful for it, however small it is.

My husband is always patient and knows that I have to have space for my "things". I just happen to have a lot of them! I think the measures of this room are about 10' x 10' . . . I finally organized it enough to show you a few photos! It still could use a little more work ~

I came across this little guy that I made about fifteen years ago. He's made with salt dough! One Christmas I made tons of ornaments and sold them. He's all I have left of that creative binge. They were very inexpensive to make though . . . flour, salt, water, paint and sealer ~

DON'T FORGET, TODAY'S THE DAY . . .

to pop on over to Mind Wide Open and read all about the art challenge that Gail has cooked up and the prize you'll receive if you win!!!

Thank you so much for your sweet words about the Bible verse artwork. I did sell that one but am working on several others now. Hopefully I can get them into my Etsy store as soon as I can find it! Etsy has moved their servers and my internet or whatever has not found the new location. I do hope it's soon though ~

Have a great Tuesday and try to take a little time today to do something you love!
