This is the piece I did for the 37 days essay titled Dress Up for Ed McMahon. It may be difficult to tell but the collage is mounted on a piece of paper with maps all over it. And the sky is stamped with the words "dream" and "home" as the author is hoping to be the winner of the HGTV dream home.

Way behind...
Traveling for Thanksgiving really threw a wrench in my creating everyday schedule. We drove 9 hours on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and 8 on the Sunday after. However, while in Kansas I did do a little creating with my sister-in-law and took a trip to Hobby Lobby where I found two packages of Basic Grey Christmas paper on sale. I love paper.
Recently I've been working on two pieces for a couple 37 days essays. Here is one. I will finish up the other today during nap time. I've had a tree in my head for awhile now. Probably planted there by Leah and then perpetuated by the trees in the neighbors yard across the street. I love the way they look in the fall and winter without leaves.

Day 19...
The last shirt. For my little man. It should really say zoom or vroom or run because he's always on the move but the letters would have to be much smaller to fit on there so I went with zap! Tomorrow is a cleaning and packing day. We are off to Kansas for the Thanksgiving holiday. I don't know what I'll get done on our trip or if I will be able to post while we are away. But I plan to bring somethings to keep me busy.

Day 17 & 18...
Yesterday I took a creative break. Mostly because I've developed a bit of a sore throat. Today we took O to the children's museum where I took a few creative and fun pictures. They have a Sesame Street Exhibit right now which was a lot of fun to see as an adult who grew up with Sesame Street. They had all kinds of history tidbits for the parents to read as well as fun stuff for the children. Here is a picture of Big Bird. Did you know that he is different in other countries? In Mexico he's a Parrot! And his role is also played by a camel and a giant hedgehog somewhere! In the stairway of the museum they have a very large mixed-media collage that I took a picture of. It's beautiful. I will post it tomorrow as I haven't edited it for size yet.

Day 14...
Back to the birds and the blue canvas...
After I drew my bird I cut it out and used it for a pattern on the pattern paper.
I decided to search for some better birds online and thanks to Martha Stewart I found some. These will get filed in the inspiration binder too.
From the picture above I drew my own bird. I decided I didn't like the shape of the bird in the ad but I liked the concept of it.

Here is how my bird turned out. It has a bit of foam tape under the wing to make it stand out a bit. I also glued the whole bird to a piece of heavier cardboard to give it some strength. The tail is cut out of pattern paper and I used a brad for the eye.
