There's just something about Friday's-- that anticipation of looking forward to the weekend. I love weekends. Even though I don't have a "real" job outside of my home, I like what the weekends bring. Everybody home and working together, down time when we can watch a movie or stay up late, planning Sunday dinner, that kind of stuff.
I feel like I accomplished some good things this week. Checked some things off of my to do list--that always feels good. Now only four more things to check off for the month of April (creative stuff.) That doesn't include house stuff, like washing windows and working on the flower beds, but it will all get done if I keep going. At least the weather and the spring sunshine is giving me some extra energy these days. :-)
Creative stuff.....
here's a little Melissa Frances and Shimmerz project. The combination makes for some lovely art.
I used one of my favorite papers from Melissa Frances called Dawn. Pretty little rose buds on a distressed background. The flowers and leaves are also from Melissa and are Crystal Clear Stamps that I used on cardstock. I applied acrylic paints and Shimmerz "Pink Poinsettia" directly to the stamp then onto the paper. Everything that sparkles (flower, background, stamped images, twigs)were all given the Shimmerz treatment. It's an awesome little product, that's for sure!
So, what are your weekend plans? Sometime fun and rejuvinating, I hope. I might shop for a few flowers to fancy up my empty garden planters. Makes me smile thinking about flowers and gardens :-)
Enjoy every little moment and all of the simple things,
Linda
Gorgeous, Linda! I'm going to google Shimmerz :) Love the music.
