“And above all,
watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you,
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”

Gifts

Hi!
It's Guerrilla Friday again!
I left this little fairyhouse on a car at the bank:)

And look what I found when I got home!!!! I know, I know, you must be thinking big deal, a 2 inch mushroom! but we never get them much around here, it's so dry all the time, I've not seen a real live mushroom for years! And here, in my yard...right where the fairy party happened to be...so you see, it's magic, a gift from the fairies!

I hope you all have a magical weekend.
see you soon!

Guerrilla Friday

On the inside, I wrote

Guerrilla Friday 2/11

Today was a gorgeous day, warm and bright, and I was actually pretty happy:) so Helena and I went outside and spent a few hours out there painting/glittering (me) and playing on the swings/sliding (her). It was

Since Valentine's Day is on Monday I made a little "love" fairy for Guerrilla Friday. It's a Christmas ornament that had a snowflake on it,(which I removed) and added a beaded heart and extra glitter to.

I'm going to make a St. Patrick's day fairy this week and I think I might just give it away to one of you awesome bloggers.
Ok, that is all for tonight, I hope you have an incredible Valentine's Day, with lots of chocolate, flowers, bright shiny baubles and the person you love the most.
Goodnight.

Guerrilla Friday

Hi everyone.. hope everyone is having a great time on the OWOH blog hop..I also want to say "Welcome!" to the friends that have joined my blog recently.
I have a quick Guerrilla Friday post...
This is a small block of wood which I covered in pretty paper, then I molded a heart out of sheet music and tacky glue, it's covered in glitter and the "LOVE" is written in red glitter fabric paint.

It has to be left indoors right now because the weather is so cold...the ATM machine inside of a grocery store sounds perfect dont you think?

I also have some sad news...my best kitty, Baby Tuna passed away this week, he was very friendly, so loveable and always ready for a cuddle. I'm going to miss that happy fat kitty more than anything.

Have a good weekend and give your cats and pups a big smooch for me.

Blogging anniversary and give away


It's been a year since my first post. I remember sitting here at my laptop filled with trepidation. I wasn't sure what to write about, how to introduce myself, and who was going to bother reading it anyway? And if someone did read it, were they going to criticize my ideas, my creativity?
Fortunately I got over that hurdle and wrote about my itty bitty studio

This blog has saved me...in so many ways.
Thank you for your beautiful uplifting comments and the wonderful gift of friendship you have given me:)
Now I promised that I would draw a winner for the 'Frost Fairy' canvas and the winner is.....Mina from Green witch with sprinkles
Congratulations Mina!

Guerrilla Friday

Hi everyone!
I'm late for this post...I had a busy day today, Airport at 5 am, then at 10 am I actually went and had my hair done! Came home made dinner for my dad,then I took the girls to Sweet Tomatoes, where I left this week's guerrilla art offering:)
We left it on the table with the tip,

the other side of the little card says "this is for you"
This was made out of paper clay and it's only abut 1 1/2 inches tall.

I'm leaving now to go walking on the bike path at the park,hope you all had an amazing day...

I'm going to visit and catch up with everyone this weekend, can't wait to see what you've been up too!

Guerrilla ....Friday

Hi everyone! I skipped a post last week so I'm going to post two of the guerrilla pieces I dropped off tonight.


We went walking at a local park that has a huge path and I dropped them there...one on a fence post and another one on the low hanging branch of a tree. But I wasn't able to take pictures..the camera on my phone is fine during the day but night shots leave a lot to be desired, (my regular camera is too heavy to take on a jog/walk) plus I didn't want anyone to see me.
Now if anyone wants to join in on this adventure please feel free!
you can leave a link with your comment.
it doesn't have to be every week...it doesn't have to be something extravagant either, but it IS so much fun, and I would love to see what you come up with:)
Have a great weekend!

Happy Christmas

Hi everyone!
I hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas eve.
I've not been around much lately to visit and hopefully this week I will be able to catch up.
My little one has been ill for a while now...almost all of December with one virus after another..this past week being the worst, but thankfully she is now feeling a bit better and is excited for Santa's visit. she got these cookies all dressesd up for him..

Oh, and here is my guerrilla art offering for this week!

I hung it on a fence, but didn't get a chance to photograph it there because my battery died as I tried to turn on the camera...:(
This is it for now, I will be back soon to visit and let you know about a super secret give away here. ok not so secret, but it's going to be fun.
Have a beautiful Christmas!

O Christmas tree

It was cold and rainy all day, absolutely amazing weather!
It really puts me in a happy Christmas-y mood!
So..I wanted to show you our little tree..


We made these cinnamon ornaments, they smelled so good when they were in the oven!

If you want to make some, the recipe is here.
Since Helena was ill all week with a stomach bug, I didn't get to create what I planned for this week's Guerrilla art..but I did make this,

and written on the back is this quote..“Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it”
This is where I left 'the goods',lol, that mailbox is going to smell yummy:)

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you!

It's white chocolate frosting dyed pink with triple chocolate cake inside.
I wish every one of you could have a piece.
Here's my card..


I have some gifts I will open later:)
And I was able to drop off a bitty gift at a bus stop bench last night...so exciting to be able to give something away on my birthday!!
Here are the pretty young things I created, lol

I only dropped one off because the other one is going to take a trip in a mail truck soon.
I took a picture of her on the bench too:

Guerrilla Art

So I was sitting in my studio making some gifties and I happened to look up at a shelf I have and spotted a chenille sock just begging to be something other than just a sock.
So I got to work and this new critter developed. Again I asked Helena what we should name it and she came up with Freddie.

And, I painted and dressed the mini pumpkin and he's going to be dropped off in a while across town!

I think I'm going to start making one thing every week to be dropped off randomly.
This little one is going to go to a house, but the next thing I make will be left at a bus stop.
I'm going to do a guerrilla art post every week!
Oh, the skeleton I dropped off the other day is hanging on their front door in a wreath! Yay!
Have a great day:)

A pink tree and a glitter skelly...

Happy December to everyone!
I have set up the bitty pink tree in my studio...I love it, we use it as a night light all through the month.

Here's a picture of the holiday skeleton I left at a house around the corner from ours.
Last year this family set a skeleton out for Halloween, but left him up through December, just put a little Santa hat on it. He was so cute sitting on the fence post...well he disappeared before Christmas..(maybe he was stolen) so this year I dressed a skelly up and at 3 am I went and put him in their yard on a bench. With an attached tag saying 'Happy Holidays!"
I hope they like him.

Ok, I'm going to go paint some left over pumpkins to look like elves...there's lots more houses to 'decorate':)
Have a great day.
