I Heart Playing With Blocks

It would just stand to reason, because I love playing with crayons too--isn't it fun to be a kid again?!



And I've been looking at photos of my work from last year and playing around with them too--




Ahhh--Ranger distress crackle paint--the more I use it, the more I love it!

Well , I'm going to cut this short, because I'm getting ready for my party on Saturday, and you're all invited, and you know what--you can have one too,and you don't even have to get out of your pajamas or wash your hair, because it's a blog party!



Where Bloggers Create II--click on this link and you can find out all about it.  There's going to be ALOT of bloggers to mingle with, and it's sure to be a good time.  So I'll be getting ready for my party, and also looking forward to everyone else's party too--hope to see you there!

  5. Hi Diane! Thanks so much for visiting my blog. I really appreciate it. I have spent a long time browsing yours this morning too and I love it! You do so many fun things with your art, and it seems we have a lot in common about the courses we have attended, etc. Keep up the good work! I am now a follower too!

    I love playing with blocks too, yours are really beautiful. I will see you at the party on Saturday. Not sure how early, there is an auction sale about 5 minutes away from with my favourite auctioneer, so I think I will go snoop around just in case there may be something that peaks my interest..lol..
    Hugs,
