Fun at the Dentist

I started my day bright and early with a visit to the dentist today. I have to say that I really don't mind going as everyone is so nice and my dentist has the greatest personality and always makes me laugh. I had to get a very old filling redone so the left side of my mouth is all numb, makes me wish I would of eaten breakfast before I went because I am so hungry! I tried to drink something and didn't have alot of luck so it looks like I'll have to wait a bit before I can eat.

I have a couple things to share. I brought out my Martha Stewart bird stamps and stamped on some watercolor paper and colored it in with watercolor pencils and blended with a blending pen. I painted the inside of the flower with acrylic paint as I didn't have an ivory water color pencil. I cut out the image, added some stickles and then coated the entire thing with some Crystal Lacquer.

Many years ago I had a cactus and every Christmas I strung a small string of colored mini lights on it. The cactus didn't make the journey across the United States and ended up dying from the cold, I was so disappointed as I had had this cactus for years. I saw these little wooden cactus's at the craft store and it made me think of my cactus so I thought I would make some tags. I bought the chili peppers over 10years ago, one of those things you buy and store away because you think you might need it one day!

And lastly, my Custom Crops project for this week. You can find the directions and supplies here.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Such cute projects! Love the cactus. And "Fun at the Dentist" sounds like an oxymoron to me. I have to go next month and already have heartburn over it!! Me & the dentist do not get along! (Not because of the specific dentist, I just don't trust them as a whole!)

Hey Annette, I have some ETSY questions and Amber thought that you could give me some info. Will you email me at tammiewst@hotmail.com I am wondering after ETSY fees do you really make enough for it to be worthwhile? Do they still charge the 20cent listing fee for each item and the 3.5% of your monthly sales total?
