Spring Ahead…

by Amy on March 9, 2012


Don’t fall back this weekend…we lose an hour!

I used the vinyl tranfer material in white. After I did this project, I wish I would have done it with the clear/frosted transfer material.

I will next time! Have a great weekend!

During the midwest blizzard last week, thought I would clean out a drawer or two (that was for my mother actually!). I happen to come across a very old watercolor kit and decided to try to see if I improved from the last time I tried. I watercolored an old fashioned lollypop in vibrant colors. [...]
