Such sweetness from a friend and an AMAZING publication ~

Can you believe these treasures?? To some these items may look too old, too worn or too shabby....but Mandy at Wish on a Whisker knows my heart!!!! Saturday in the mail this precious little parcel arrived. Oh Mandy, I love it all!!! They are like precious treasures to me and perfect to use in my artwork! Thank you so very much sweet friend ~ Just look at her beautiful handwriting on the envelope!

I finally got my hands on the premier issue of Where Women Create!!!! I've been waiting so patiently for this new publication from Somerset and it's HERE!!! I love, LOVE to see how other artist's studios look. To see how they store things, how they organize their supplies, and just to LOOK at the rooms. Seeing their studios inspires me. It's amazing how visual we are isn't it? Just seeing these amazing old things like what Mandy sent or seeing these incredibly talented women and their work spaces can light a creative fire in me!

This is one you don't get rid of....you don't throw away, you don't give away ~ you'll keep it and refer to it again and again. It's 15.00 well spent! Here's a tiny peek:

Thank you all so very much for the amazing response on the Christmas Treasury Tutorial ~ I hope you all are creating your little hearts out! I've had a special request for a new tutorial for the store and I'm going to get started on it this week.....it's going to be a Bird's Nest Assemblage Tutorial!

I can't believe the boys only have ten more days of school then they are out for a week for Thanksgiving!! This season is already moving like a freight train, don't you think?

I wish you all a wonderful week ahead and a very happy Monday!

xxoo, Dawn
