It's Friday


I painted this and another just like it to give as Christmas gifts, not sure who to but I am getting ready. I don't come up with my own designs because I am not that crafty but I can follow instructions in magazines I get or sometimes just eyeball it.

Kris, where did you find this pattern and instructions? I would like to paint a few up, he's so cute!

Hi Lori
It's in the create and decorate mag. have you ever picked that up before? I love it, they have all kinds of fun stuff to do every other month and then a special holiday one in the fall. If you can't find it, I can send you a scanned copy. I don't follow directions very well either, I kind of just look at the pictures

delightful painting!! I'm with you Kris - I can't paint new, original paintings either. In fact, I can't really copy pictures in paint like you can. My "art work" consists of scanning in something that I like, then playing with it - sort of the lowest level of "painting" but I love to play with color.

Lori said...

I never heard of that magazine before. If it wouldn't be too much trouble a scanned copy would work.

You can get all my email info from Cheryl if you need it.

Thanks.

What issue did this come out of? I just subscribed for a year but I have to wait 8 - 10 weeks before I would receive my first issue. I can order back issues though.

It looks like a really neat magazine for us crafters! I can't wait until I get one to thumb through.

Kristen said...

Oh my Lori, I can't believe you have not heard of it, I used to pick it up at CVS but did subscribe last year. I have every issue since the last 3 or 4 years and guard them with my life!! Michaels craft store has it too.
Would you like to look at them sometime?

I'd love to look at the back issues of the magazine. I went to CVS, Barnes & Noble, and Michaels today and could not find it. My cousin looked at Joann's and a different Michaels in CT and could not find it either. It must be a very popular crafting magazine. I was able to order the December issue onlinr but not the Holiday one. Perhaps it's not out yet in the stores and that is why it shows that you can order but when you try it said there was no information found. I'll keep trying though.

Thank you so much Kris. I'm still trying to locate the magazine but without luck. I would really like to look through the back issues.

So cute! I'm sure whoever gets him will be thrilled because handmade gifts are the best. I know you could probably come up with your own designs too - just have faith in your abilities! :)

Kristen said...

Lori the Michaels in Avon has the December issue, I was going to get it for you but I thought you said you ordered it. I have the holiday one already at home. I will try and get some of it scanned for you tonight.

Lori said...

Yes I did order the December 2009 issue. Thanks for thinking of me though. I probably won't have it in hand for another 3 or 4 weeks! I love dealing with magazine companies!

Kristen said...

Lori I emailed this to cheryl to send you

Lori said...

Thanks Kris. I owe you one!
