So I've been working on a project ever since I saw the whole sharpie on mugs phenomenon take off and I loved it.. but I was skeptical.
I made sure to find items that rendered my finish project food safe because..
1. I want to make an entire set to match the kitchen decor I've ALWAYS WANTED BUT NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND!!!! (Strawberries are NOT THAT WEIRD people!)
2. As soon as I mention it I had people want to buy sets. Ok then. I'm not going to sell them if they can't eat off them so began my quest until I found items that would be fine.
Here's my test piece. I started it yesterday and finished it up today. It's not terribly intricate because the next step is to pass it around to every member of my family with the explicit directions to try and destroy it, and I knew I'd be sad if they were successful and I'd spent tons of time creating it. Plus, this is a favorite design of mine. (I do promise to update on how it holds up!)
So that is what I did to be creative today.
How are you coming along in my 30 day Kreative challenge?
( Update because I forgot to add a prompt earlier, Thanks Bev for the reminder!so here it is!)
For your project today, consider doing something you've been wanting to try for a while, a new pattern, a new technique, a new project!
Rules and prizes can be found here...
Some questions I'm getting asked a lot...
Q:Can I jump in even though you are in progress?
A:Yes, please do!
Q:Does this count?
A: Did you feel like you were creating something? If so.. yes!
Q: Can I submit something for a different day?
A: Yes, but only until the Sunday of that week for it to count towards contest entries.
So add your link to wherever you posted what you made in the linkey, leave me a comment so I can come check it out and make something fun!

Create, Create CREATE!!! Day 4
Ok, we're on to day 4! That means we are over 10% done with the challenge! Feeling creative yet?
Hey, who's on Pinterest? Instagram? Twitter? Let me know so I can follow you!
GOOD!
Ok, so here is what I did today. It was fast, it had to be, it's a big day here. It's my youngest minion's 13th birthday! WOW! It doesn't seem possible. He's taller than me now, I remember walking the floor with him for 2 years straight!
So I'm feeling a little nostalgic and have a lot going on today...so today couldn't be something really intricate, but I wanted it to have a fun feel.
My prompt for you today is this...
GO with it. (I was going to say Let it go, but I didn't want to be responsible for making you all sing for the rest of the day)
Don't overthink what you are going to do, put pen to paper, brush to canvas and let it flow.
I'm excited to see what you come up with.
For those of you who are JUST finding my blog, you can find the details in any of the last few posts or you can click here on yesterday's where I listed the rules AND showed pics of the prizes!

So today, for MY creative project, I dove in the The Diva's weekly challenge, which is #170! WOW (I'm so behind! LOL)
The challenge is a UMT and to use Bugles. I'm going to be honest, I hated it while I was making it, then all of a sudden it came together. I still don't love it, but here it is. I love how her challenges push me outside my comfort zone. It really makes me grow and learn new things.
I also made tart cherry Zoku popsicles and last night I made homemade granola. YUM.
So what did you create today?
