Altering thrift store finds.....

Old silver trays, spray painted white, then chalkboard paint (or black gesso) used to create a blackboard effect.  Then word art added.  I have a selection of these and am adding all kinds of 'Brave Girl Club' words such as 'Enough' and 'Courage' and 'Breathe' etc etc...and I am going to hang them all together on the wall in the art studio :)  

I love it :)  99c each from the thrift store :)  If you don't want to paint your word on you can use them as chalkboards instead :)  

Spin art!!!

Abby was given this spin-art set for Christmas by Susannah.  She has always loved spin-art, since trying it at The Festival of Trees, so she was thrilled to have a set to use at home!  Tonight she finally sat down in the studio and had a go!!  It is a great set!  It works just as good as the one she had tried before!!  She created three beautiful designs and had a lot of fun doing it :)  

Bubbles :)

Yesterday I treated myself to some bubbles.  I just couldn't resist these little tubes of happiness.  I LOVE bubbles.  I love blowing bubbles and seeing how much fun they create - watching children chase them....watching them blow through the air...watching their colours in the sunlight....

These little tubes have heartshaped wands - and they are the perfect size to keep in my purse and take with me so that i can blow bubbles whenever I'm bored or whenever I want to entertain a little one - or a a friend :)  

This morning I woke Sam up gently by blowing bubbles at him :)  He LOVED it :)  he was giggling as he woke up and saw all the bubbles around him - he started batting them away with his hand and then trying to catch them and then he was giggling more - then he took over and started trying to blow them :)  

What a lovely way to be woken up :)
