Merry Dressed Up in Bling

There I was, minding my own business.

I was trying to focus.

I was shopping for grocery essentials and staying away from the pesky, fun, crafty aisles that send my mind into neverland.

I was focusing on snacks, produce, canned goods...

and what does Walmart do?

She puts paint...delicious, glittery paint...

 on an end-cap by the cereal aisle.

sigh.

Bottles of glitter fell into my cart because, well, 

my defenses were down and I couldn't resist!  

Marlenaisfaithfullycrafting took over.

My mental list of meals went wooosh and

 I. was. done.

How's about the cashier cheered me on with

 "ooooh, I can't wait to try those."

really?

It was too much.

What's a crafty girl to do with all that temptation.

I went home,

 

threw the groceries in the fridge and ran downstairs to craft. ;)

I painted backdrops and tips of word diecuts...starting with the following:

Make It Monday #344: Deck Your Dies

hosted by Melissa

dies: Papertrey Ink Wonderful Words Holiday/Spruce & Sprigs

Simon Says (Monday): "B" is For?

 

(bling) 

The more shine = more bling....am I right? ;)

I added sequins to the sprig and sealed them with Faber-Castell Texture Gem medium.

The hardest part was waiting for it to dry.

That's when I took a break to cook.

Might as well finish what I started. ;)

Thanks for stopping by and listening to my ramblings!
