Materials :

Paper Bag ( I used Trader Joe's grocery bags)  Scissors  Stamp (store bought or make one yourself, I carved mine from Speedball's Speedy-Carve.                    Ink Pad  Tape  Paper Punch (optional, I used it for the heart on the bow)                                 

First I cut my bag into different size pieces. Next I used my stamp to decorate all the pieces. After the ink dried, about 5 mminutes, I wrapped my gift.

I was happy to discover  all the free downloadable holiday decorations this year! So far my favorite have to be Tony Millionaire's  Maakies ornaments, which you can get here. The one's I printed out are from last year but I couldn't resist having a little Drinky Crow on our tree.

Here's another peek at the paintings I'm currently working on...

Hey coffee lovers,  my coffee print is now available as a t-shirt too!  Check it out!

Today I started working on some new paintings based on some sketches I've been drawing lately ( I'll post those on Friday).
