From the Mind of AlphaBetsy

I am planning out a whole weeks worth of posts today, because it is my day off. Including a general update because it's been a while, a bunch of photos of recent purchases that are too awesome not to share, more from the Missouri trip and more catch up. By the end of the week I will hopefully be all caught up. lol. Then I am going to work on setting up some kind of actual blog schedule, we shall see how that goes. For now here are the latest 4 pages for the 52 weeks of Pagan Art Journaling.

It was my first time sewing a bag and I was so happy with how it turned out. I stenciled a tank top with "Support Local Roller Derby". I decorated a mouthguard case with rhinestones. The design is a skate, in case you can't tell. I also spray painted I <3 RD on a  metal water bottle. Then I made tiny shrinky dink skates with wings to attach to everything I could plus some extras for her to play with as she likes.
