Time to play catch-up with projects! Kind of better late than never!

I am welcoming myself back. It has been a long time since I even thought of posting on here.
 So there are quite a few projects to check out!
Here we go!


You will see as you scroll that I have been making a lot of recycled cds into Christmas ornaments! Most are dot painted and have 65 on them to commemorate friends' 65th birthdays. Lots of fun, acrylic paint, Cricut-cut numbers, some have bows or little silver initials attached also. Top coated to shine. For the most part the ornaments are hung with fishing line inserted into the hole I drilled out.

Canvas for a baby's room. Cut out the rabbit and decoupaged it on the canvas that I painted and lettered.
Ribbon to hang
