Paint Party Friday... Lots of Leftovers

In an attempt to loosen up a bit, I drew these flowers with my non-dominant hand... Fun, fun, fun!


This week I've been playing with the leftovers from the CareFREE Fridays! collage papers...


My messy work table and works in progress.
(The collaged circle is on the old cupboard door I mentioned last week.)


Lots and lots of leftovers!


Please be sure to stop by the Paint Party Friday blog to see what my friends have been up to this week.

    fabulous daisies, and I love your lettering. I have a hard time drawing even a straight line with my left hand. heck, I have a hard time drawing a straight line with my right hand as well. drawing's just not my strength, but clearly it's one of yours :)
