prIM meSSaGe cENtER


I was thinking about cleaning up the studio and going upstairs to fold clothes and do some wifely chores. But one of the metal dustpans in my stash called to me (REALLY!!!) and here is what I came up with. The bubble magnets are made with graphics I purchased from my friend at Ewe and Me Printables (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5255329). The note paper is from Susan Winget and the yellow pencils are from my collection I always keep on hand. You just can't get out of that "teacher mode" once you have been one! I already have a plan for a cottage style message board that I am going to work on tomorrow.

You know I clean houses for my paychecks...as I am a starving artist trying to make it in the BIG WIDE WORLD...but I would rather Paint a lovely dustpan like this than Sweep Dirt into it..GOOD choice Martha..
Paint when the mood strikes you..the studio can wait!! I love It!!

Martha,

Love your newest creation. I'm almost afraid to see "where" your mind goes next!LOL! Keep inspiring others to step out of their box and into the "Martha Zone"!

I know I'll never look at a dustpan the same way again!

Keep creating, my friend, as you truly are an inspiration.

What a cute idea! I look at things and see them differently too, but not sure if I'd ever have "thunk" to turn a dust pan into a message board! :)

Martha,
Thank you for your positive words.
My friends here who have seen my messes are probably having a good laugh over your comment about my organizational skills.
Maybe I have them, and I just haven't learned to apply them yet. =0)
Hope you had a great birthday.

Blessings,
Barbara Jean
