Creative goodies, a few anyway

If you know me, then you know I love colour. I also love to colour.

Today I went to Blicks art store with a purpose. I want to try my hand at colouring with coloured pencils.

I love to colour with my Copics, water markers, distress markers but haven't tried colours pencils with odorless mineral spirits. 

So look what I picked up :). 

Just a minute that doesn't look to exciting.

Now this is so much better...soooo much prettiness :)

I can't wait to get home and play. 

Stopped by Michael's and was so surprised that everything was on sale. I picked up these Heidi Swapp planner/calendars for $3.99 each!!

I was excited about them when they first came out, but couldn't justify spending (I think at home they were about $25.00-$30.00) that much. Especially since I have a day planner.

But at this price I picked up 2. I could start one next year :). 

Since Miss. Swapps inks and sprays wee so inexpensive, I decided to give those a try as well. 

Found a Hobby Lobby. 

You knew paper was coming didn't you, lol. 

I thought these pretty wooden buttons would be fun to use on a card or project. 

Found a Tuesday Morning. 

I also have wanted to try my hand at ATC's (artist trading cards). Even if no one wants to trade them with me, teehee.

I thought they may be a good way to work on new techniques, if nothing else. 

I had to get some peeps at the Peeps store. I picked up some of these pony beads to try my hand at making my own enamel dots :)

Yeah baby.... What is a visit to Mall of America without a banana caramel crepe from Magic Pan ;)

That is all from me tonight. It is tedius typing on my phone ;)

I haven't even shared my goodies from yesterday.  This could take the whole week, lol. 

I hope you all had a very creative Saturday :)

Tracy :)
