I got the coolest thing in the mail today!! Not just what was inside ,but the package!!LOOK at this! Laurie (Charming Designs) is the artist behind this gorgeous package and
darling birdie! I have never opened a package so carefully.... because she actually hand painted the front of that!( looks like some glimmer mist too!lol) I AM NOT WORTHY! Oh My... and look at this sweet thing!! You can check out all the amazing things Laurie creates on her blog and in her etsy shop. THANKS LAURIE!!You made my day!
Speaking of Glimmer Mist, yesterday I stopped just briefly at Hobby Lobby while Mom and I were in Omaha for her eye appointment. They had all their fall decor on sale. I saw these bird houses and liked them, so I picked up one for mom and also one for me.
Not like I needed another reason to love Glimmer Mist...but after doing this project today, I really really appreciate it even more!
Since I can cut multiples with the AccuCut machine, the cutting part, goes really quick. And putting them together, goes pretty fast also... but...
Something tells me , by the time I haul all these to Kansas in my car.. I'll have another mess on my hands. lol Okay.. I've learned my lesson!

I was looking at it last night and thinking it was needing some color. I broke out the Glimmer Mist, and worked it over. It looks SO much better now. I added a few more fall colored bits of greenery also. I spritzed everything with a bit of
Bronze 21132, Autumn Leaves 60110, and Golden Terra Cotta 02122. Then just Misted the greenery with Iridescent Gold 21052. Before on the left and after on the right. ( click to see them bigger)
See... I told you I'll spray that stuff on anything that stands still! lol
I wish you could see how rich and beautiful these colors are up close. It made such a difference.

Not like I needed another reason to love Glimmer Mist...but after doing this project today, I really really appreciate it even more!I have been working on crowns for my upcoming classes in Kansas at "Meet Me at Scraps".
This is an AccuCut Die (Border-Crown BR240LC) As you can see I've been busy making a number of them. lol
Since I can cut multiples with the AccuCut machine, the cutting part, goes really quick. And putting them together, goes pretty fast also... but...I didn't have enough Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist to do ALL THESE...so I had to use spray adhesive and regular glitter! OKAY... now I REALLY love Glimmer Mist!
This was a Pain! ... and I Huge mess! I was doing this out in the driveway. At first , ..without a glove(BAD idea). After I got the first 17 layers of spray adhesive and glitter scrubbed off my hand... Finally..I got smart and found a rubber glove!
To think , if I had used Glimmer Mist... no mess, the entire garage and driveway would not be covered in glitter, no crowns sticking together, no glitter falling off everywhere...and I wouldn't look like a disco ball right now!
Something tells me , by the time I haul all these to Kansas in my car.. I'll have another mess on my hands. lol Okay.. I've learned my lesson!\

Fun fun...I get to say hello first!
Oh..you are the Queen of Glimmer Mist.......I have said it before, but I just don't know how you work the magic...you are SO talented...it oozes through my computer screen. Amazing!!!! I know you are having a "glimmering" day.....hope the evening is wonderful too.
You are such a treat!
The day started out bad at 6 am when we had to rush my dad to ER and the day has just digressed...but you, my friend, have given me a glimmer of joy. (Yes, I intended the pun...you gotta look for the humor, even the pathetic humor.) Reading about your glimmer mist and the glitter just made me smile.
btw, he'll be fine. At 89, he's still strong and smiling.

Oh my gosh! I MUST have a glittery crown! LOL! I love them!!!
Hi Vicki! You are the queen of glimmer mist, and crowns! What a fun class that is going to be. And yes, from personal experience, your car will be "crunchy" with glitter for a few days, maybe weeks.
But totally worth it!
Have fun.:)
