<br />
As some of you may know I used to make jewelry but I stopped because It really wasn't my thing. For some reason over the last month I have been wanting to make memory wire bracelets. So I pulled out my supplies and I made these.<br />

One likes the Redskins and the other like the Capitals. To make these treat boxes I used the <a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=333">Christmas open house Svg Kit.</a> I used ribbon and flowers from my stash to embellish them. Looks like I messed up on the mouth of the Redskins one but over all I think they both turned out nice. Thanks for looking.<br />

Hello Everyone!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; text-align: center;">
Today I am going to share my CREATE wall canvas that I made for my Gina’s Designs guest spot . I have always been interested in abstract art so I used this opportunity to try my hand at my very first abstract painting. For this canvas I used Gina’s Designs palette and brushes and Ginas Designs Create dovetail banner and Gina’s Designs chicken wire. The first thing you will need to do is apply a background color to your canvas. I chose orange. Once the paint was applied I wiped the excess off. I then added various drips and drops of colors. I chose lime green, yellow, while and turquoise. I also used drips of India Ink to add vibrancy to my paint. Once you let that dry it’s time for your next layer. I used modeling paste and Gina’s Chicken wire to add texture, while the paste was still wet I sprayed it with lime green ranger spray and topped it off with a sprinkle of recollections glitter glass. Let that dry overnight. Don’t forget the edges! Once my canvas was completely dry I used a black ink pad and ran it along the edges. Next for the chipboard. First I painted all the pieces white. Next I used my Gelletos to color the pallet and brush and the letters. I used my finger to blend it all together, then I used a paint brush with a small amount of water to smooth everything out. Once dry I began using the same dip and drizzle technique that I used for the canvas. Finally after everything was dry I glued everything down using E6000. This was yet another easy project to complete and I absolute love the results. The nice thing about this type of project is you can’t mess up. If you can layer you can do this!</div>

Hello everyone today I’m going to share my next project for Gina’s Designs. This week I had fun working with Gina’s Designs Decorative Screens. I especially enjoyed this project because when I saw them I immediately though of layers, flowers, metal and paint….my favorite things to work with. For the background I painted the screens black and then layered them with Recollections multi- surface ink in both black and vintage gold. Next I layered on Snow Tex and let it dry overnight. Once dry I sprayed the whole thing with Tattered Angles glimmer mist in Summer Glow, Yellow Zest and Ranger butterscotch color wash spray. Once that was dry I began layering Gina’s Designs butterflies and dragonflies, which I glittered and stacked, wire, K & Co swirls and gems, trims and flowers. I then added a Prima accent piece to the center screen and tied each piece together to create the finished 3 panel screen. That’s about it, super simple and loads of fun! Thanks so much for looking, be sure to stop by Gina’s shop to pick up a few to try out.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;">As a reminder of my </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">Trinidadian heritage I made this</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;"> wall hanging layout that I call "The Mask". It's carnival time again in Washington, DC! All of the Caribbean islanders in the area come together and unite as one. Participants and visitors can enjoy dancing, celebrations, good food and fun. One thing that always captivates me is the bright display of colors that are seen so frequently in the islands. For this wall hanging I decided to use black for my mask base because black represents unity and strength.Once I colored my mask with a black Sharpie paint marker, I highlighted the black mask with lime green and silver stickles to give it a little pop and sparkle. For the background, I added memento ink in lime green and gray to white textured cardstock. Once everything was dry I layered the mask on the page with pop dots and added a few flowers from my stash. For a finishing touch I added Dazzles silver strips and a few Jolees.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"></span><br />

Montpelier Festival of Herbs, Teas and the Arts review April 26,2014<br />
<br />
<br />
I can keep this review short
because I found nothing wrong with the show itself. The winds were a beast
and there were many tent kites but ours held its own until the very end when
the wind blew the tent canopy off and bent the frame a bit. No worries.
Everyone was very helpful and every time a tent went flying other vendors and shoppers
came running to help. We really were surrounded by a great group of people.
This show was small but great! It was very well organized and the traffic
and sales were good a steady. I was so busy I could even sit down. They had a special
area set up for vendors with bathrooms, refreshment and water. It was a very
nice touch. Parking was smooth for vendors and shoppers, unloading was smooth and quick. I can’t wait
until next year I will be the first to sign up!</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Old Town Bowie Antique craft and food truck festival show was on May 5 and I was there as a vendor. So here's the skinny!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For starters this event was unorganized.
All the streets were blocked and no one seemed to know how to give accurate
instructions on how to get to your booth. So after driving around for 30 minutes we
finally managed to get someone to direct us to our spot. Imagine a small road
with vendors on either side setting up and a narrow passage way to which vendors were instructed to drive down and unload. We used the truck so this was a tight
squeeze. Apparently an email was sent out with a staggered set up schedule but I guess no one got it ( including me) because it was chaotic. Once we finally got to our spot, someone had already set up shop. So we wait and wait, finally after waiting 20 minutes for that problem to solved we set up and the festival starts. By now i'm thoroughly irritated and ready to just turn around and go home. but.... I'm optimistic it will get better. LOL! The event starts, now the name of the event is Old
Town Bowie Antique craft and <b><i><u>food truck</u></i></b> festival. However
the vendors were split into two sections separated by a bridge and maybe a road.
One section was lucky enough to have all the food vendors while the other (my
section had nothing) In order for us to get food we had to walk all the way to
the other side of the event to find food. This was not just a straight walk down
the road. The vendors in my section couldn't even see the vendors or food
trucks on the other side. You couldn't smell the food either. If it hadn't been
advertised then we would have never even known that the food trucks were there or that there were more vendors.
I personally looked forward to eating while I watch the steady but very slow foot
traffic walk by like we weren't even there. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to
make my money back but I don’t consider that a success. I personally consider a
success 4-5x the show fee. In fact, I think that if Mother’s Day and Graduation
weren't around the corner I wouldn't have made the show fee back. I know many vendors didn't make a dime.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
From what I understand this is
the first year that the event was taken over by someone else. The returning
vendors said that last year both the spring and fall shows were awesome and
that’s why they returned. However this year was a huge disappointment to many.
I've never vended at this show but can honestly say I will probably never
attend this show again. It could have been so much better with a little more organization and planning.
If they had a better set up plan and instructions on where to go instead of a
bunch of blocked off streets and people who didn't have a clue that would have
been great. When you are limited on space it's good to have a predesignated off loading point. Especially since there was a parking lot right down the hill. Many vendors use this lot to pack up. Second, to be fair the food trucks should be available on both
sides of the event. Vendors and shoppers should not have to walk all the way to
the other side to find food. The food was supposed to be one of the main focal points of the event yet for my side it was non existent. Many of my customers asked where all the food
trucks were. As far as the traffic and sales, I don’t know. I guess it just one
of those hit or miss kind of things. Although several people did tell me they
had no idea the festival was even going on.<o:p></o:p></div>
