Surprise in the mail......

This is what I picked up at the post office today - a giveaway from Alisa Burke's blog where she gave away something fun every day for a week to celebrate her birthday last month. I thought I was just getting a wood burning tool but look at all the fun wood I got to embellish - oh boy!  This is going to be fun - I haven't used a wood burning tool since I was in elementary school - yes, that was a long time ago, around 50 years ago - yikes! No doubt you'll be seeing what I create on the blog but since I have a number of ideas for holiday gifts they will be squirreled away 'til the season and won't be shown on my blog for many months. If you've never checked out Alisa's blog you should hop on over there - she's very talented and creates new fun stuff every day, she also sells her art in various forms, has online classes and classes in her studio up north on the Oregon coast.

    1. I won't let Sam steal it! I had a great stash of tools when I met him and somehow they all ended up mixed in with his tools...hmm, wonder how that happened. I now have a few in my studio again that he has to ask to use and bring back - I'm keeping track of them.

    2. I've got a label maker but it doesn't necessarily mean he'll pay attention to the label........I do know what he's got squirreled away that belongs to me in his tool boxes, I know my tools.........but the label might be a reminder for him to put it back where it belongs.........
