So many times I see some wonderful inspiration and tutorials while blog hopping and I always want to try so many of them that I save them in a "tutorial folder". Do I ever get back to them and actually try the technique? Well...honestly...very seldom. All good intentions and time or laziness or busy or whatever and I just never seem to get back to that folder to really try such wonderful ideas and techniques. Well...this one was so simple and doable that I actually dropped everything and did it. Let me link you to Lori of elvie studio whom most of you already follow.
This is my completed piece and I am so thrilled with it. This really is a "hand drawn look". Thank you Lori. You are quite an inspiration to me!
I will definitely be doing this technique again. Maybe now I will go take a look into my elusive "tutorial folder" and see what else I can accomplish. It is such a great feeling to actually make and finish something.
I am busy making my lists. The holiday season is upon us and I want to at least keep up this year. I was hoping to be ahead of the game this year but somehow November is here all too fast and I wasn't prepared like I thought I would be. November is also a busy birthday month in our family. Not to worry...I will get it all done and what I don't get done I suppose was not really necessary. This is my coping story and I am sticking with it. ;o)
Now lets go make something and maybe try a new technique from the amazing array of tutorials available to us here in Blogland. There are such generous sharing souls here. Thank you each and every one of you.
May you have a week of serenity and checking off your lists...
