Set Sail for An Adventure

I love these pictures I found on •*Secret Garden *• Facebook page! Talk about art coming to life. Anyone else ready to set sail for an adventure?

Faux Rocks with Secret Stones

I finally posted my "faux rocks" for sale in my Artfire store! I actually got everything done on my "to do" list today. Feels like a miracle! I made these fake rocks for "The Treasure of The Secret Stones". They are fun finds on a treasure/scavenger hunt with a secret surprise inside. The hidden treasure inside can vary depending on your needs and creativity. A secret message would be excellent! Here are the basic instructions to make your own. Or if you don't have the time, I can make them for you! They cost $1 a piece. They are inexpensive to make, just time consuming. Wrap the stone with damp pieces of ripped paper. You can use something lightweight like newspaper for the inner layer. For the outer layer use ripped pieces of brown paper bags dipped in watered-down glue. The glue mixture can be pretty runny. Lay on wax paper to dry. These can take a couple of days to dry completely. So be sure to allow yourself plenty of time in advance. Whether you buy some from me or make your own, I would love to hear how they work out for your treasure hunt or scavenger hunt. Let me know! Have fun! http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/5063303

"Help your teen decorate their locker to have the hottest locker! Great way to personalize their space at school with their own treasures. Items chosen here have a bit of an "old school" theme with some vintage themed items. Use vinyl decals, magnets, decorative cork boards, book and ipod covers! There are even chalkboard wall decals! Decorate with feathers, mirrors, and inexpensive jewelry too. I have feathers you decorate with including strung feathers to make you own crafty ideas. A great idea is to add feathers and trim around the frame of a mirror. Hot glue some ribbon on the back and hang in your locker with one of those "stick-on" hooks. Another great decorating tool for lockers is poster puddy. I have used poster puddy to hang my feather hair clips on the wall as decoration when I am not wearing them. Great decorative idea for lockers, too! Have fun!" gypsygdesigns.artfire.com

Provo Treasure Map

Last week I finally finished revising my Provo treasure map. Today it's posted for sale! Yeah! It's so much fun planning and hiding clues. Yet, a lot trickier to do in the city! I don't think I was noticed. When I was doing the first draft of this treasure hunt a few weeks ago, I thought it would be best to hide a couple of the clues at 4 in the morning so as not to get "caught". Turns out I had to wait over half an hour for a police man to finish giving someone a ticket right where I needed to hid a clue! Buy this treasure map for a fun, creative date! It's all about the "hunt". There isn't an actual treasure at the end, unless you decide to hide one for your date, family, or friend. Most of my treasure hunts have a little back story that I write to go along with the map. This provo treasure map is titled "The Thai Tiara". Solving the riddle of the map will solve the crime of where the Thai Tiara was hidden after being stolen. The story and instructions come with the map. Check it out and spread the word! The map is hand dyed, dried and burned. It makes a great decorative keepsake. Especially when attached to a memorable date. Add a little adventure to your life! Happy hunting! GypsyGDesigns.com

Happy Pirates Weekend!

I finally got a new computer, finished school and my externship, and trying to get caught up with everything!  Today was extra fun because we went and saw the 4th Pirates of the Caribbean movie.  Loved it of course!  It's great to have Captain Jack Sparrow back. 

Since the pirate mood prevails, I made a collection of some cool stuff on Artfire.com.  There are soooo many great finds.  Jewelry lovers should definately check it out.  Have a great weekend!

Yo, ho, ho Mateys!
