Some other things I have been doing!

Hi Crafters! I thought I would share with you some other projects I have been working on.

I have started painting, at the encouragement of my BFF Linda.

I started collecting old metal trays from the local thrift store and started making some christmas gifts by painting on them.

I have finished 3 so far, I hope to get a few more completed before christmas.

This is the first one I completed...I love this Santa!

For this one, I found this really cool wood plaque that had a really ugly painting on it, so I decided it needed a couple of cute gingerbreadmen on it instead! So this is what it ended up as....


And this is the 3rd one I have been working on..I have to say, this one was the most difficult! But I love it the most! I am not giving this one away! I am going to keep this one and use in my kitchen at Christmas...



Well, I hope you enjoyed my little break from papercrafting! I am off to paint a few more trays!

Have a great day!
