Working outside today on a @speakersisterhood project 😊❤️ #timelapseart #creativereuse #upcycleddictionary

So exciting to see this project come to life! We made almost 500 flowers out of paint chips 😊❤️Thanks @awcolor for the fun opportunity and Lou, Steph, Lenore, Michele, Gayatri, Christina and Tim for your crafty hands!!#paintchipart #upcycledflowers #handmadebouquet #Repost @awcolor with @get_repost ・・・ And then this happened..... . . . (But not without lots of help! A million thanks to @happilyupcycled for helping me make this happen.)

When I got home from @oxfordfreepubliclibrary yesterday, I found this gorgeous photo from library director, Brittany McDougal, who found the perfect vase in her office to display the flowers she created in my #paperflower workshop 😊❤️ I also borrowed a few crafty books before I left for the day — looking forward to spending some time with books by @psimadethis & @valeriemckeehan #creativeinspiration #ilovelibraries

Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of crafting with the creative community of Oxford at the @oxfordfreepubliclibrary — many paper flowers and smiles were made — it was an awesome day!! 😊❤️🌸 #upcycledflowers #papercrafts #creativereuse #librarylove

This week I had the pleasure of presenting upcycling workshops at the Belchertown & Leominster, MA libraries. I had so much fun crafting with their creative communities. We made pumpkins, flowers & explored the art of quilling 😊❤️#creativereuse #upcyclingworkshop #ilovelibraries
