Boxes, Drawers, and Clearing Out More Stuff

I'm still painting, and scripting boxes.



This one has hints of script inside,




and script on top.




I also worked on a lighter version of the drawer from my last post.




As you can see, instead of leaving the small knob, I replaced it with one of my numbered tacks.




More inside.




Oh yes, I had another impromptu garage sale these past few days. I'm VERY serious about organizing, and narrowing focus on what I acquire. I got rid of a bunch of "stuff". It's a joy to see someone happily loading up something I NEVER want to see again.  There's a lot to be said for living on a main street, as well.  I didn't advertise at all.

  6. Some days I just want to have a huge house sale, forget about the garage. Too much stuff and it is hard to stay focused. However, I am still focused on that fabulous drawer you did. The script is amazing. The box is beautiful too.

  7. I adore your scripted boxes with the little numbers. You really are purging and sharing with others. I would probably be loading up lots of your treasures if I lived close by. Happy Hearts are Creative Hearts...

  16. I am in love with these boxes. I wish I could buy one but with the move I really am trying not to buy things right now. Your talent sure makes it tough. Glad you had another garage sale that was a success!
