Princess Bubbles Creates

It doesn't take a lot to make me happy.  I am a simple girl.  This snowflake just makes me smile.  I am so glad to have my Kaleidoscope Kreator program working again.  I ran into a bit trouble with it when my old computer died.  The tech support was awesome and got me up and running very quickly! I have fresh ink in my printer so I need to use it up before it dries up or clogs.  I will print the snowflake and then bead it.  I can't wait to see it finished!

I believe I have not posted this little journal previous to this.  I showed it at the workshop on Saturday and received many compliments on it.  So I thought I should show it here.  I painted the tissue paper with shimmery paint and then adhered it to the felt.  It is a wrap around cover.  The felt works great for that.

http://www.thepaperplace.ca/wp/2011/12/01/the-2nd-great-chiyogami-giveaway I just want to let you know about this amazing chance to win some lovely paper.  All you have to do is leave a comment at the above link to get entered for a chance to win.  It is a bit selfish of me to post about it as it gives me another shot at winning.  If I were really selfish I wouldn't share the link though as now there is more people that know about it and I have less of a chance to win.  Whatever!

I am optimistic and confident in all that I do. I affirm only the best for myself and others. I am the creator of my life and my world. I meet daily challenges gracefully and with complete confidence. I fill my mind with positive, nurturing, and healing thoughts. - Alice Potter   Above is the quote that I wrote on my journal page. I truly believe that we attract goodness into our life with our faith. I have always had an optimistic attitude. There is a Proverb that says as a man thinks so is he. I make it a policy to get rid of negative thoughts as soon as I recognize them.

Honestly, it is so much fun for me to see students giggle and delight over a new idea or technique.  Too fun! The first two pictures above are samples of Kathy Mostardi's gorgeous paste papers.  Such beautiful vivid color.  Yummy.  Kathy taught this morning and I got to play.  I taught in the afternoon.  We played with all things shimmery and glittery!  You may notice some students sporting tiaras in these pictures.  There were also some boas and loads of sparkly clothing.  We were all princesses playing for the day.  Art therapy at its best!

I bought the premier issue of Pages by Cloth Paper Scissors.  I guess I am a bit of a sucker for magazines.  I have to say that $14.99 is a ridiculous price for this magazine and it is highly unlikely that I will pay that again.  It is a nice magazine but it is not worth $14.99.  There are some good ideas in this magazine though. 

Hi All This is just a quick note to let you know that I am teaching a workshop this Saturday for the Royal City Calligraphy Guild in Guelph.  If you are in the area there is a spot or two left.  It is going to be fun and we are going to get messy.  If you want details email me and can forward the class info.
