and these last 12 days that is what I have done...taking a break and really trying to start this year off the way I NEEDED it to start. So I took a step back from the blog and have been focusing on the needful and I must say it has been nice and very productive. We have put so many things in place around here in both our home and in our life that I am excited about this year and the path that we are on. So thank you for your patience and for checking in on me....we are good! And I apologize for my lack of posts around here but I promise to do better and be around here more now that we have taken our much needed break!
During our hiatus (which included some major purging and reorganizing of several areas of our home) I ran across two of these frames which I had saved for myself to make as gifts during the holidays, but, well you know where I am going with this....I actually forgot that I had stashed them away months ago in the closet and then when the holidays rolled around bought presents instead and now I am going to offer them to you so that you can make gifts if you want. If you are interested in them just email me and I will give you the details. I ONLY HAVE THE FRAMES...NO KITS OR CONTENTS, JUST THE ORNATE FRAMES. They are wood and accept paint and mist beautifully. They really are fun to work with and I love the shape of them. The inside measurement of the frame is 8.5" x 12". These were never sold retail and were exclusively manufactured by Pink Paislee for my Creative Escape class. Here are two projects I made with it:
I couldn't resist holding back just one and I made this project which I will post soon....here is a little sneak peek.
So see I did get a little work done during the break but the rule was it had to be something fun...that didn't feel like work so I played a lot in the studio which is always a good thing and something I don't get to do very often!
I have some exciting things to share soon and I am hoping it will be early next week when I can finally share all of the details. I am also finishing up some fun valentine love which I will get up next week.
Have a great weekend!
I Assume you have a CHA secrete to share? Something along that line? I can't wait..
