Since we finished our paint sample artwork the box of samples we had left over has just been sitting around our apartment with no other purpose except being in the way. So the other day, while I should have probably been studying, I decided I was going to make book marks out of them by drawing and painting on them. I drew out a few and didn’t really like them so I took my exacto-knife to see what would happen if I cut them out and layered different colors…and it worked. I’m really pumped about how these turned out, they are really quick and easy and free and I love a good bookmark. 

In addition to the paint sample wall I finally did something about the huge blank wall above my bed. Side note: large expanses of blank walls make me really nervous and I just do not like them. So I went to hobby lobby and scrap book paper was like 5 for a dollar or something crazy like that, so I got it even though I didn’t have a plan. I grabbed some of those round mirrored candle-votive-base-things too and headed home. En route to Clemson I remembered seeing some neat 3d metal stars in good ole HL and thought perfect-I can make those out of scrapbook paper. I looked up a pattern online and put them together and hung the mirrors with some white grosgrain ribbon and sooo no more scary empty wall!
