Here is a scan of a collage block I made in a class at my favorite Mixed Media Store. It is called Creative Quest, but sadly it is closing. I gave the block to my artist friend Diane Barbee, who makes much cooler art than me! Check out her blog!

Toy Shop

I feel like Santa's elf!  Today my volunteers and I made display boxes for Miracle on 34th Street at Arizona Broadway Theatre.  The bear and doll---I did not make, but the boxes I Photoshoped, printed and created.  Now we just have to do about 8 more AND finish making some other Raggedy Anne and Andy dolls!  Then the costume shop takes over and turns the toys into dancing full size toys!  Don't you just want to go Christmas shopping now?!?!?  )  (NOT!)

More from the CORNDOG box....

Look at this adorable tlittle gift bag! From an envelope! I unfolded it so you can see the folds. The bottom becomes like a box.  The top I cut with deckle scissors.  Punch a couple of holes in the top and close with a ribbon. Cute!

Out With the Old...

I have started cleaning out boxes in our garage.  There are just TOO MANY!  I am sure that if I simplify my life, even in a little way, I will feel so much better.  So I started with a fairly small box.  An old Corndog box.  I found some old cards and fun paper things I made when I used to teach Rubber Stamping classes in Montana.
