Everyone is born with creativity. But those people who appear to be super creative have a secret. They know that creativity has to be developed and exercised to come easily. I am on a quest to immerse myself in creativity of all kinds. I hope you will join me!

 I have collected a bunch of Christmas ornaments that look great in Girl World. It might be weird, but I do not decorate for Christmas. I leave my ornaments out all year. You could look at it that I decorate for Christmas all year long, or my ornaments are not Christmas ornaments. Or. You could just like it for what it is, like I do.


 I am really liking the branch-in-the-house thing right now. I have one in the living room and now I am adding one to Girl World. Here is my nice branch from Dad's backyard.


 I wanted to spray it silver. Santa Claus gave me this really cool spray can thing. It goes on the top of the can and you squeeze the trigger to spray. I love it. I could spray all day. And it makes a very even coat of color. My fingers don't get tired or coated with paint. You need one.


 Sprayed silver. It is very pretty in person.

 Wired to the ceiling in Girl World.....It isn't heavy, so I used a couple pieces of craft wire.


Holding my sparkly ornaments. I need more to fill it up!


P.S. If you are tall, you are going to have to duck a bit. :)

On Memorial Day, I took my 25% off coupon to Michaels and found this wood girl cutout. The universal sign for female. I thought she was cute and with the coupon, how could I not bring her home?

Fixing her up did not take much in time or materials. I love a project like that. I started by painting her chartreuse green.
Then with a small flat brush, I gave her a groovy dress by making a turquoise checkerboard. This is a pretty simple process.  To paint a square, make a horizontal stroke on the chisel end of the brush. Then make a vertical stroke over it to square it up.  Load just a little paint on your brush. Too much will make it smoosh over the squared edges.  Just eyeball where the lines of squares will form.
