Paint Swatch Intro-Altered Cardboard Project

Yes!

I am among the many artists...

that get super excited 

taking a trip to...

The Hardware Store.

Over the long Memorial Day weekend 

my husband decided to get some things fixed around the house.

Knowing  he would be taking a trip to the 

hardware store...

I gladly volunteered to go!

Of course...

you could find me down at the paint department.

I am like a kid at a toy store!

(embarrassingly so)

Truthfully...

I can not resist all the...

COLOR SWATCHES 

and needless to say...

because you know what happen.

But, it is fun to say anyways...

I grabbed a hand full of swatches,

 stuffed them in my purse, 

and

walked around with a big smile!

A paint swatch weave.

This was loads of fun, 
used recyclable materials, 
and 
was very relaxing to create.

I'm thinking...

creating another one and placing it in a frame?

Might look very "artsy"

Always

Explore the possibilities always!

I also, decided to pick up some tomato plants.

 (very last minute)

I wasn't going to plant anything this year, due to our move.

But, I think...

 I've got time to enjoy a little garden.

This was definitely a family affair...

and

our dogs were very curious about the whole project!

Have a very colorful Thursday!
