On Tuesday this past week, I received a gift I was not expecting:
A pair of scissors may not mean much to you, but I love scissors, almost as much as pens and all my multi-media products. But these scissors are especially special to me because they are a gift for me, directly from Fiskars, simply for becoming a Fiskateer last year. Why am I just getting them now?? I don't know. I didn't even know that they would be sending me some new orange and lime green scissors (my favorite colors) in a really cool olive green burlap bag! I just love them though and feel real blessed to have them. So thank you Fiskars!
But here's something that is extra special about this specific gift:
Can you read what is engraved? It says: Fiskateer #8263. These scissors are exclusive for me, stamped with my official Fiskateers ID number!!! I am officially part of a community of creative people who love sharing their passion for crafting!!! Hot-diggity Dogg!!! Ain't I somethin'!!!
Here's another cool thing: The box the scissors came in was a really nice, sturdy box, that I decoupaged with wrapping paper and will use as a box canvas for a major piece of art. It is almost the traditional 6X12X2 size canvas that Christy Tomlinson loves so much. It is actually 6.5 X 11.5 X 3, but that is close enough for me. So here is my progress so far on this new art piece. I will call this piece my IBS Art. And no, it does not stand for irritable bowel syndrome!
No, it is much grander than that!
It stands for Inspire, Believe, Soar!
I will write more about that in a future post. Perhaps when I get closer to completing this project, or when I've completed it!
Right now, the canvas is calling me. It has a lovely layer of primary yellow mixed with coarse texture gel, and it will be further texturized in the next few hours. This is a wonderful project for my last day of vacation. Tomorrow I go back to work and have a lot to accomplish in the coming weeks.
Till next time, happy crafting!
