tracking packages

So I ordered my Glue and Seal from Joann.com last week.  I received confirmation and tracking soon after and started watching my package......
so far:  Michigan (yes, it ships from Grand Rapids!)
Wisconsin.....Nebraska........Utah........and it is now in Arizona (Kingman, about 250 miles away?)
It is expected to arrive on Friday, maybe I will be surprised and it will be here a little sooner than later.

I am getting ready for March Craft Month.  I hope to post projects and techniques weekly for you to try.  Some new, some old that maybe have been forgotten or stored away someplace.

There's lots of great stuff out there in blogland.  Watercolor techniques appear to be leading the pack.  I love it.  Hard to make mistakes and the outcome is amazing.  The key:  let it dry between applications (or help it along with you heat gun).  Patience!!!

things I have been working on:


Sketches Tutorials:  4 sketches/lots of cards using paper scraps and GR45 Children's Hour

mini notebooks:  candy not included!

Character Constructions Valentine paper dolls

mini easel candy boxes:  make along project from August, 2015

visits to the Gem/Fossil/Mineral/Bead show here in Tucson.
 
Spring is arriving here in the desert.  I'm sure it will be where you are real soon, at least according to Mr. Groundhog!
stop back again.

stock up time

Ranger announced they would no longer be producing Glue and Seal (a great product for everything).
Time to stock up, if you can find it.  I did at Joann.com.
