i just can’t get over these adorable gingerbread houses! it’s always inspiring to look at creativity in a completely different medium. it just sparks an entirely new side of inspiration to see patterns of bubblegum and candy canes!

i remember having to make a gingerbread house for my 7th grade class. we didn’t have sugar cereal or many sweets in our house, so having an entire tub of frosting to work with was pretty much the best thing ever!

i hope you had a merry christmas! i’ll have a bit more inspiration for you later this week!

happy holidays!

Art Weekends & Letting Go

A few weeks ago I had an art weekend with my sister-in law. We went to the art supply store and picked up a ton of spray paint, acrylic inks and other fun supplies. Then we covered her driveway with an old table cloth and played. She had all of these sheets of sticker paper that she never knew what to do with, so we... Continue reading
