HOWDY TO EVERYONE ON A FINE JANUARY SUNDAY,  THE LAST ONE, AS A MATTER OF FACT! Our theme this month has been reflecting our character.  I thought this was a fitting topic.  I want to share some artful creations and some history with you.  Some sweet, some edgier. It was my job to plan a reunion this past week.   Our women's club became inactive several years ago. Life gets busy, people move and change jobs....life happens.  We are members of General Federated Woman's Club Phoenix chapter, Centennial Woman's Club.  It was so named, as it was founded in the Centennial year of GFWC.     I am proud to say I am a Past President and Board member of CWC.      For the reunion, we decided to create nametags and to honor an annual event (The Teddy Bear Tea) at which we donated hundreds of stuffed animals to the PHX POLICE for use with Kids in distress.  The situations including abuse a...

I got to SPLATTER!!!     At Creativation 2017 the Splatter Room was sponsored by 3M, Scotch Blue Painters Tape,  DecoArt and Pinspiration! I had to sign all kinds of waivers!!!! They were demonstrating that the new 3M Scotch Blue Painters Tape did not let paint seep when painting.   Here I am suited up ready for the SPLATTER ROOM!  Before we went in we prepped our canvas with stripes of the 3M Scotch Blue Painters Tape.  I am in the far corner getting ready to add yellow paint to my canvas.   SPLATTER...   SPLATTER...   SPLATTER... Now I am picking another color to SPLATTER...   and SPLATTER again.   When finished we left our paintings at the booth to dry!   Here is my finished canvas!  With the tape removed. Pretty cool demonstration! ...
