~Part II of the Valentine Tin

 You all Probably Know that I am Pretty Goofy 

when I am Working On a Piece. 

I often Change my Mind as a Piece 

I am Working on Evolves. 

 

This is How Silly I am Because Last Night

I could not stop Thinking about My Finished Piece....

It Just wasn't Quite... Well You Know!

Soooo... I Changed it!

I used the lid of My Tin for its Base

and Made some other little changes.

 I Think I better Mail this Off Quick 

to Lynn Before I do Something Else!

 Its Going in the Box Now!!!
I Hope Lynn Likes it!!

Have a Happy Tuesday!

I Am Linking up with 

'Its a Woman Thing'

Link Party!

Thank You Cindy for being our Hostess!

~Merry & Bright~

Hello Dear Friends;

I have Been working hard 

to Create Something Special  

for my Friend Wendy of Bliss Angel! 

She hosted another Altoid Tin Swap and of Coarse I had to play!

I was Lucky Enough to get her as my Partner this time so I needed to make something 'Merry & Bright' For her.

I am a Little Late a getting this mailed to her

but I hope she won't mind.

It's that 'Slow as Molasses in January' Working Speed 

that gets me into trouble I think.

 

I have to tell you I have Fallen in Love 

with yet another Bit of Vintage Whimsy.

Watch Faces, Gears,Cogs, Springs and Hour & Minute Hands!

Oh my Gosh I am having so much fun with adding them to my pieces!

 I just can't have a Plain Back you know...

And now I will Share the Beautiful Christmas tin

I received from Wendy!

I Love my Sweet Little Angel!!

She used German Scrap Wings and Trim

with Sheet Music Background.

 

It is so Delicate and Lovely!

Thank You So Much Miss Wendy! 

And Thank you for being our Hostess for this Fun Project!

Hope all of you had a Wonderful Thanksgiving

with your Dear Families!

My Sweet Little Sisters

are from 

Paper Whimsy

~Moonbeams and Magic~

 I have seen so Many Altered Altoids Tins 

and have Always thought how much Fun they Were!

Like little Shadow Boxes!

So when My Friend Wendy of Bliss Angel 

was Hostessing an 

Altered Altoids Tin Swap

on her Blog, 

I thought I can't Pass up a Chance 

to Have some Fun!

 So here is My first attempt 

at an Altered  Tin!

I started off Painting My Tin.

I read about a method
that will actually 

Rust Your Tin!

I Decided that maybe it would be something to try 

when I had Multiple tins to Finish.

(It involved Bleach and Vinegar...Ventilation...Etc)

 I started Playing around with the Backdrop

and Discovered I could Create a 3-D

using Multiple Layers of Paper.

Moonbeams in a Bottle...Some Buttons...

a little Bit of Steam Punk Gadgets and Gears..

Some Moths and an Adorable Fairy!

Oh Boy did I have Fun Playing with this!

My Swap Partner

is Lorraine 

Over the Rainbeau

I Hope she likes it!!

 Thank You Miss Wendy 

for hosting this Wonderful Fun!

Have a Wonderful Day!

My Adorable Fairy
is From Paper Whimsy

~Les Petites Fleurs~
I am sure you all recognize the Beautiful Artistry 
of William Bouguereau . There is a Serenity to his Most Wonderful Works. This painting was painted in 1871 and is actually of a Brother and Sister.
~Frère et sœur Bretons~   
and the Translation is Breton Brother and Sister.
 This little Brother has such a Sweet Face I assumed he was a Little Girl. My friend Wendy at Bliss Angel is How I found Art Creation Friday. The Bouguereau painting is the Image we are suppose to Create with. How could I not Find Inspiration working  with such a Beautiful Painting! They have a Challenge Every Friday with a new Image to work with! I think it is a Good Recipe for Fun!

It is also a Most Wonderful Brag Monday with

Karen from the Graphics Fairy! I used a couple of her Pieces.

These Sweet tags were such a 
Wonderful Surprise! 

Thank you so Much Wendy!

How did you Know that "Sweetpea" is the

This is so very Special to me! Thank you!

Please stop by her Blog and say Hello!

I am So Grateful for the 

Most Wonderful Friendships I Have Made in the Land of Blog! 

Joanne from Vintage Dragonfly said it so Well when she spoke of the Generosity and Kindness and Support of the  Blogging Community.

It is my Little Piece of Heaven to Visit Someone and see what Beautiful Piece  They have just Made. Pictures they Share of their Families and Loved ones. Or the Funny Story that they tell on Themselves. 

Or the Beautiful Prose they Share with us. 

And all of the Sweet Encouraging Comments.. They Mean so Much!

It Truly is a Circle of  Good Friends 

that I am Most Grateful for.

I Know I am a Bit of a Pollyanna ...

But you Know what...That's one of the Goofy things 

I Like Most about Myself.

Have a Happy Tuesday!
