I apologize! I sometimes neglect the BLOG because it cannot be accessed from my phone and I have to pull out the laptop. I'm sorry, I'll try to do better!
Here are 2 Manic Monday podcast episodes. Both are quite short as I'm in transitioning mode getting ready to trek south and trying to decide what to bring with me while trying to complete home improvement projects that need to get done before winter.
Cheers!

Hello crafty people!
You might be underwhelmed at the idea of a bookmark, but these bookmarks are MAGICAL and created with the Dark Fantasy Collection by MGT Digital.
These bookmarks will NOT fall out of your book!
Hello crafty people!
Here's a little project for you to explore how you can use your pretty printables to upcycle the ordinary everyday things into something pretty with a purpose.
This project used My Grandmother's Teacups (MGT) printables Dark Fantasy Collection - Fall Expansion
The digital download is sold on Etsy.
Here's the project video from Youtube:
Get your craft ON!
Mwah,
Becky
I have a new video up on YouTube today!
This was done it bits over a couple weeks and many steps, but it's all compiled here, including my bumps.
I like to show you where I hit bumps and how I correct them. There are 4 different napkin versions of the bookmarks and one altered fluid art canvas.
I hope you enjoy it and are inspired to get creative today.
Mwah,
Becky

Here's the wooden tissue box that I decoupaged with the paper from the Blue Hydrangea collection.

I'll walk you through the steps and at the end is a link to a YouTube video that explains it all!
I picked up a wooden tissue box from a local thrift store: Lucky Finds Thrift Store in Rochester, NH
I used a fine grain sandpaper to rough up the outside of the box and remove the old decals.
Next, I painted the sides with a periwinkle acrylic paint that matched the hydrangea paper design.
When the paint is dry, I used Maker's Magic to apply the Hydrangea paper to the top of the box. I covered the paper while wet with clear plastic and used a brayer roller to make sure it stayed flat and without bubbles or wrinkles.
Using a blade tool, I cut out the tissue hole and sanded all edges. I inked the edges with a matching pigment ink and heat set it with an embossing gun and then sealed the entire project with Maker's Magic.
Here's the video!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend.
I hope you craft something beautiful today.
Mwah!
