Sharing your creative spirit ~

Since beginning my blog waaaay back in 2007,

I've always loved creating new things, sharing photos of what I've made
 and even sharing how I've made them!

Sometimes I will share my creative steps
with free tutorials here on my blog,
(see the link at the top of my blog for those :)

with my tutorials for purchase and

even in simple photographs in a blog post.

But always, always I have loved sharing my creative spirit.

My sweet friend Suzanne contacted me a while back

and after purchasing one of my tutorials mentioned

that she and her friends were heading

to her mountain home getaway
(the gorgeous photo above is from her mountain home!!!)

and were all going to create the project
from the tutorial!!!

I told her it sounds like so much fun and to please share photos

with me when you return, I would love to see!

Here are their wonderful Silver Plate Collages and

Suzanne said they had the most fun being together and creating!

I think they are all so GORGEOUS!
Beautiful, French and each special in it's very own way ~
Thank you so much sweet Suzanne for sharing your photos with me
and I am so very thankful that you shared your creative spirit with your friends!

Happy Tuesday my sweet friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn

A thankful heart is a happy heart ~

And I AM so very thankful for each and every one of you ordering my tutorials!!! I truly do feel blessed ~ it warms my heart to know that you have the confidence in me to buy these instructions . . . I can't wait to start seeing these projects and YOUR versions of them!

Thursday I put one more on The Little Speckled Egg blog ~ the 1st Thessalonians Collage artwork! Click HERE if you'd like to visit and see ~

I found a wonderful new issue of MaryJane's Farm magazine at Barnes & Noble the other day! I'm probably the least likely person to be a farm girl but I do love MaryJane and love the vintage stitchery, needlework and other things they feature in these issues.

This is really a GREAT issue to me! Plus, there are a couple of beautiful pages featuring my sweet friend Karin's five star hen house!! These hens have it made! Karin, you really outdid yourself and I'm so very proud of you girl . . .

Well, I can't believe it's Friday again ~ seems they roll around pretty fast! We had our school open house Thursday afternoon and Noah's teacher seems so sweet. Can you believe they start school Monday? Don't feel too sorry for Chase and Noah though, they have a week off coming up in September...

Wishing you all a wonderful Friday ~

xxoo, Dawn
