WELCOME TO MY CREATIVE, COZY, and CRAZY CLOSET!!!

Welcome to my crazy cozy creative closet! I once read that Mary Englebreit began her creative life in a closet, so I feel in quite good company. In my tiny cottage there is little space and every spot must serve sometimes a triple purpose. Things must look somewhat nice and orderly and pretty too. I sit here surrounded by everything I might need within reach. I admire those of you with wide open spaces to create, but have learned to stay well organized in my bat cave and content...but I yearn to do five projects all at once and not have to store my projects in well marked drawers. But drawers make my work portable and I can go outside with my work on a wonderful day and have everything I need in my drawer...so as Mary would say, "Where ever you are...be happy!" Supplies are kept hidden from view in pretty containers of all kind on shelves my dear husband built on one side of the wall. Miss Hunny Bunny keeps reminding me of what is inside each box since I tend to forget...she is a faithful helper and insists that white cat fur is a wonderful embellishment for my ATC's!

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL MATCHBOX SWAP...



Yes, I admit it...I am becoming addicted to altering matchboxes. I love miniature anything and this is so much fun. The theme this month was International travel. I used shrink plastic that turned out so perfectly size wise for the front of my little carry on suitcase. The tag also...it shows all the ciities on the trip The little stickers are international hotel destinations cut to nestle perfectly inside the case... My partner is Gail heydiggity and I hope she likes what I made for her...join us here each month for a new theme!!!!

ART FOR THE DOLL HOUSE...

I made these adorable art works for my friend Linda's dollhouse...we love Thomas Kinkade and recycled these images from the sides of his puzzel boxes.

JUST STAMP ON IT!!!

Cats and roses...perfect combos

My friend Sandra gave me these sweet little one inch glass tiles...so what do you do with them? STAMP on them!! I used purple Stazon and sealed with gitter nail polish...earth magnet on the back and they make perfect note holders for the cold box!

PATRIOTIC COLORS ATC'S FROM MWS...

The ATC's from the swap...each unique and wonderful!
