Backgrounds

Easter Sunday left me feeling creative!!! After thinking about my next project and a wasted 30 minutes perusing Walmart wares (procrastination :( ), I came home and discovered Sketchpad. I LOVE this app which allows me to create backgrounds for the drawings I do. I especially love the spirals that it creates and the general ease of use. 

I especially love the one to the left :) 

It makes me think of dust motes, specifically the dust motes under my bed, which I will get to....soon...

Holy Moley :) Reminds me of blood cells and pineapple slices...kinda a gross combination, but the general effect is nice

 Makes me think of the strings from my yarn when                       I knit

Magnificent Magnets

I love these magnets!!! I went with my friend Katy to her Relief Society meeting. Best decision ever!!!! I don't know hat I expected, seeing as I am not Mormon, but I loved it. We discussed earthquake preparedness, money saving tips, STARTING BLOGS ;) and making magnets. Needless to say I took to the making blogs like a fish to water, admittedly very thick water as it took me a minute to figure it out, and have created this site of my projects.

The magnets were the cutest idea. We took glass marbles, glued scrapbook paper on the back with Modpodge and simply glued large magnets to the back. I loved it and immediately created three. I see a whole range of projects that can be created for this: Crafts for Mother's Day for my kids, magnets for the board in my classroom, and even wedding favors and decorations. What another pretty way to procrastinate!
