My Personal Blog Declaration

 Hello,
For the first time, I've finally written a post on a Monday.  Yeah !  It's not that I don't have the time like so many of you raising a family. I have the time. I'm one of those bloggers who don't know what to write about.  But- in all actuality,
I DO.
I've read somewhere, amongst the many blogs I follow, that I  should keep to the theme of doll making.I guess, that way, I will attract those interested in my dolls.

But, I have also read, to be authentic.  This I believe in strongly.  Probably around age 35, I finally progressed to the point in my life journey that I became comfortable, authentically comfortable, accepting and truthfully, really liking who I was.  No longer was that inner critic evaluating everything I did, said, or thought.  It is a really good place to be.

So why have I been so "afraid" "intimidated" to blog. And even felt small and insignificant.
 I have built blogland to be THE ALL _ END ALL_   (In my head)
I know it sounds ridiculous, It Is ridiculous.

So, today, I am declaring, this is my personal blog. I will share a lot here.
And, secondly, share my new ladies with you.

I have been busy making, Little Ladies"  I love ball jointed dolls. I have one. I don't have any desire right now to create one at this present time. I've been around long enough to never say "never".
I've been proven wrong too many times.
Like before I had children- I said".Well. my kids will never act like that"  I had to eat those words, many times over.

                                          So here is my first little lady.

                                        She is a darling little one

                                           AWE, sweet little bunny friend.

                                                     I just love her.

Awesome Paint for DIY - Caromal Colours

 

 I don't have a link yet!

Just stopping by to share an incredible paint line

It's Country Living's Caromal Colours

I became a rep for Caromal Colours five months ago.

I have a web site BushWoodArt.com

but it's set up in Word Press

and I don't know the first thing about Word Press.

                                         That's just like me!

 Here are a few samples of what these paints and finishes look like.
Get this look by
painting one coat paint,it's called basecoat 
 then a product called chipping cream, 
then another coat of paint basecoat. 
Then sand (I use a little palm sander) to reveal the first coat of paint.

 

They are for DIY er's 

That means they are easy to use.

No Prep, No Sanding, No Stripping- No Kidding!

One Coat Application will cover surface

Ready to Paint-

  Have furniture that needs a

Do Over?

 

Her is a sample of a door, top is door before painted

Bottom Left is painted with Parchment (that's the name of the color)

then a toner (thin coat) is brushed on and wiped off to give it the aged look.

Bottom right painted with Peppercorn basecoat

Pretty Cool, Huh!

 

This was taken at Caromal Colours studio where I trained 

to become a rep.
