Hey, Creatives! Don’t you love Fridays? It’s the perfect time to get some crafty projects done! I have big plans -well, I usually do but I don’t usually get them all done! LOL But a girl can plan, right? How about you, any big plans?
Seems like lately, I have been doing a lot of planning and that’s a good thing because that means something is coming…something big and you are going to want to be a part of it! If you are subscribed to my newsletter you will hear about it later today so make sure to open those emails!

I am so glad you stopped by today because it’s the last few days of the blog hop and chance to enter to win four colors of these new Magical Mysteries embossing powders! Here is a closer look at the Mermaid Fin. It was so easy to stamp with the Princess Mermaid and Seagrass and use the embossing powder on top for the sparkle effect! Juxtaposed against the watercolor background really makes the glitter shine! Perfect for these last summer days!
And I don’t know where you are but it is still around 100 degrees here in Texas! Fall weather will be a welcome change!

Giveaways and more!
One lucky winner from the blog hop will receive four colors – Mermaid Fin, Midnight Magic, Dragons Egg and Kiss of the Fairy.
The winner will be announced on Mixed Media Monday at 8 cst on FB live, ritabarakat1

I keep checking your blog to see if you have made the announcement…you sure have gotten my attention. I am hoping that you are going to say that you are making mermaid and fantastical creatures stamps…but it could be anything….hmmmm. Also, I am SO hoping that I win the blog hop. I would LOVE to try your embossing powders to see how they work for me. They look REALLY cool when you use them, but you are a full on artist. They are just so cool because they are so irregular–they are bumpy, smooth, thick, thin…I really liked how you added little bits with a tiny spoon the other night. We will be in the Phoenix airport tomorrow for about 2 hours, waiting for our connecting flight. Maybe we will see you 🙂 Brian always says,”Say HI to Rita for me” when I watch a video and he’s sitting near me.
You are cracking me up Sharon! Say hello to Brian and thanks for being so awesome!
Wow your Mermaid turned out so good! I was trying to read what color of your embossing powder you used to emboss her? Am I reading Midnight Magic? It really is very pretty! I am going to have to save up for all your embossing powders! I don’t believe that I have been receiving your newsletters? I know that I signed up a while ago! Oh well!
OOOOOOPS! I did these blog hops from last one to first one so I found out now what embossing powders that you did use for her! My bad! It has really been a bad week for me! With my son having what looks to be Gallbladder issues! I am just now getting to your post!
So awesome to be
the winner! Thanks
so much. I sent you
a message on Facebook.
