I’m sponsoring the lovely and illustrious Chantilly’s blog, My Girl Thursday, this month. If you act now you can nab a coupon code for my shop, as well as for her other sponsors, right now via her latest blog post!
My lovely and crafty web friend, Chantilly of My Girl Thursday, blogged about this shop as an inspiration of hers, and I’m feeling extremely inspired about it as well! I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see what kind of plate creation Chantilly comes up with. Simultaneously darkly quirky and refreshingly vivid, Beat Up Creations‘ altered antique plates and assembled sculptures took my breath away! I WANT.
PS – It was actually very difficult for me to choose a photo to accompany this post… their items are just TOO awesome. In fact, here are some more links to more super rad Beat Up Creations works of art!
I’m trying something new… sometimes more scheduled and organized to help me break out of my blog rut and be more productive! Let’s start with “Tempting Tutorials”, a new feature I’m going to try to put together every so often (maybe once a week) to showcase some tutorials and DIYs that I really wanna get my hands dirty with. I see so many fab projects, and my little hands only have so much time to complete them… so I’m passing them on to you. A little inspiration perhaps?
I used to LOOOOVE taking those little tissue paper pieces, sticking them on the end of my pencil and then gluing them down on paper to make shapes or artwork when I was a kiddo in school. It’s so inexpensive and fun, and Cathe over at Just Something I Made takes it that elementary school idea and turns it into a bright and elegant project with her Tissue Hydrangea Pins. Plus, you’re reusing and recycling items you may already have around your house. Win – win!

Wooty woot woot! Today I’m the featured artist on the glorious My Girl Thursday website. I recently participated in a giveaway for My Girl Thursday as well, and just sent off a bright and cheerful handmade bunting banner to the lucky winner!
Thanks to Chantilly at My Girl Thursday for choosing me to feature… I’m totally stoked. Check it out to see what I’m about and what I make!
Just a quick hi to all of you who’ve found me through the blog giveaway at My Girl Thursday! Browse on through the blog, the Flickr, the shop and the Twitter and let me know what you think!
I’m very busy today.. my boss is out of town and the hubs’ niece will be visiting from the Dallas area starting tomorrow. It’s her graduation present! (we still have a lot of cleaning to do. doh.)
PS – So excited you’re here.
