Heading Down The Paper Trail

 
Hello Crafty Peeps! Today, I am on my way to New York City, where I will take a car to Connecticut, where Eileen Hull and Amy Bowerman will pick me up to join them on Eileen's Paper Trail (#PaperTrail)! She has purchased and redone a 1976 Serra Scotty Trailer, and she is traveling around the country doing demos and fun crafty stuff in it! I am so honored to join the fun for a little bit in New England. We will hit a few stores on our way to the Collins Group Spring Show in Massachusettes and then hit a few more stores on the way back! I know it's going to be a blast!
I've made a few more Artist Trading Blocks (ATB's) to take along on the adventure to add to the others I've already made. FYI...I'll be teaching these soon!

I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

  25. What a fun adventure you are having! I am so happy for you that you get to spend time with cool people, visit exciting places and create fabulous art all from the comforts of a vintage travel trailer! That is just about as good as it gets! Love these artist's trading blocks, and all the wonderful embossing, texture and shine you built into them. They look a little bit like lightning rods, which is really fun! The finished inside was a fun surprise, too. The roses blew me away!
