Some art materials for the art I never have time to do, and Halloween is coming!

Good morning! We're getting ready to go back up to Birdsong this week, but for a quick post, here are some things to share. I am thinking of taking a few art materials up there so I have something to work on, if indeed I have any energy left at the end of each day!

At our local scrapbook store I bought these Halloween papers.

Most are from my favorite line,

which you may recall I used in my dad's legacy book, 

Lost and Found, from My Mind's Eye...

...and here are the reverse sides of those papers...

I couldn't resist these brads and chipboard elements,

also from My Mind's Eye...

And now, what are these?

Well, they are small pieces left over from the painted baseboards

that we put in up at Birdsong.

Don't you think they would be great to use as substrates

for some mixed media art pieces?

Some people even pay real money for this kind of junk

(certainly not me...HA!)

My husband thought I had lost a few screws when I told him

I was taking them home...

On the top of the pile below I have shown the reverse sides,

which have some grooves and are more raw,

since we didn't paint the backs.

What would you do with these?...

Make some creative time for yourself, even if I can't!
