2026 art projects so far including a bucket list item!

Hello, my bucket list friends! I’m excited to tell you about the fun art projects that I’ve created so far this year. One of those projects was even a bucket list item. I don’t get around to creating art as much I would like but I’m happy with the projects that I’ve made so far this year. With all that being said let’s get to it!

January 10th – On this day I made my first art project of this year. I had a mosaic art kit that I got from target . This art kit is different from the ones I usually get. It was more than just a simple coloring or painting project. The first step was to paint the flower design then it was time to glue on the colorful rocks. I enjoyed doing this art kit it was different but still fun and relaxing and the same time. It was fun to do something a little different for my first art project of 2026.

January 15th ( Bucket list item 397 decorate a tote bag) – I got this craft kit at Target and I was so happy to make this project because not only because it was fun to make but it was also a bucket list item! I used the stencils and paint that came with this art kit but I also used some supplies like stickers and puffy paint that I already had. I had fun creating a colorful designs. I love having simple items like this on my bucket list because I get to have some carefree fun and it also gives me a feeling of accomplishment at the same time. That is why I encourage people to put simple items on their bucket lists.

February 4th – On this day I finished coloring a simple craft kit that I got at Hobby Lobby. This craft kit was a simple coloring craft kit. The kit came with two wooden pieces to color I choose to color the heart shaped piece that had a dog on it. I had fun coloring this cute design. I liked how colorful and fun it looked when I finished coloring it.

February 7th – On this day I went to my favorite local party supplies store. I got this really cool craft kit where you make paper flowers. Like the first craft kit I wrote about in this post this is also different from what I usually get when it comes to craft kits. I started out by following the directions then I decided just to make the flowers how I wanted. I had more fun just gluing the pieces together in whatever way or order that I felt like. I even mixed some of the colors together to create flowers with multiple colors of petals . I liked the way that flowers turned out and I’m glad I decided to just let my creative flow without following the step by step directions.

Thank you for reading about the art projects that I’ve done so far this year.

Colorful and fun painting art kits

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Earlier this month, I had fun painting two wooden art kits. Both of the kits are originally from Target, but I think I got both of them from thrift stores. The first one I want to talk about was interesting because it was a layered ocean picture made out of wood. To paint this craft kit, you removed different layers of the picture and painted each one, and then you put it back together. I had a lot of fun doing this craft kit. I loved the ocean picture and all the sea animals. when I had finished painting all the different layers, I decided to paint the frame with some colorful dots. I hope to do more craft kits like this in the future. The other craft kit was one where your painted wooden shapes. The kit was made for Christmastime. There were three wooden treats that you painted. My favorite one to paint was the mug of hot chocolate, but I’m happy with they way that all three of the wooden treats looked when I was done painting them. I hope to do more craft kits soon, but things have been very busy lately.

Thank you for reading about my art kit fun!

Two wooden Easter crafts

Hello, my bucket list, friends! On Saturday, I got some Easter craft kits at Dollar Tree, and I just finished coloring the two wooden craft kits that I got . The first one I colored was a wooden Easter decoration that comes with markers. There were two of the same decorations included in the craft kit, but I just colored one of them. I love the way that the colors popped on the wood. My project looked very bright and colorful when I finished coloring it. The 2nd craft was coloring a Ping-Pong paddle that comes with a ball attached to it. It also came with markers to color it. I love how the basket that is part of the design on the ping-pong paddle has a bow on it. I also love all the flowers. When I was done coloring it, the ping-pong paddle was a bright and beautiful work of art. I love simple craft kits like this, and I’m glad I was able to do two of them today!

Two fun art kits and more designs in my Red Bubble store!

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Yesterday, I did two art kits that were both from Walmart. One of them I got on Sunday, the other one I had gotten a while ago. The first one I did was a simple color, your own magnet kit. The magnet in this kit was shaped like a rainbow that had a cloud at each end. The kit came with three markers, but I wanted to use all the colors of the rainbow was I also used some markers that I already had. I really love simple craft kits like this. They are relaxing and fun. After the rainbow, I opened up the second art kit. This kit was a paint your own sun catcher kit that was in the shape of an owl. I enjoyed doing this art kit as well, but I wish it would have come with some brighter colors of paint. I will probably buy more art kits from Walmart in the future. Now, for the second part of this blog post. I’m really excited to say that I have been adding more designs to my Red Bubble store lately. I have gotten into doing digital art, and I have been inspired by the store that I work in, so you can expect to see some houseplant inspired based designs. Click HERE to see my store!

Trying juicy pear water and making art with a wonderful craft kit

Hello, my bucket list! Today, I have another drink review, plus I also opened this vary large craft kit that has been sitting in my room for a while. I am excited to tell you about it, so let’s get to it!

Jelly Belly juicy pear sparkling water

I got this water at CVS last Saturday. I have had Jelly Belly’s waters before, but I had not tried the juicy pear flavor. I was excited to try a new flavor. I tried this drink yesterday and I really like it. It tastes like drinking a juicy pear jelly bean, but without the sugar. I would definitely buy this flavor again. I really enjoyed the taste.

Paint kit

Last year I won this huge paint kit at a raffle. I had not gotten around to opening it up, so I decided that yesterday was the day! This kit came with so much paint! It also came with a lot of different ceramics that you could choose to paint. I painted the cupcake and then the rainbow. I had a lot of fun painting both of them. I’m really glad that I decided to open this art kit yesterday. I love my colorful rainbow and cupcake!

bird house painting fun!

Hello,my bucket list friends! I’m home from work today because I have a ganglion cyst on my foot that makes it painful to walk. I decided to use some of the extra time I had today to do one of the craft kits that I’ve been wanting to do. I bought this bird house craft kit  at Five Below. In addition to the supplies that were in the kit I used some paint and paint brushes that I already had. I decided to do this craft kit outside to avoid any extra clean up. As soon as I started painting I felt relaxed. I loved picking out the colors and deciding where I wanted to put the.I’m very pleased with my colorful  bird house. I wonder what craft kit I will make next?

Painting magnets and a tea set

Hello, my buck list friends! I buy so many craft kits and can’t keep up with all of them. However I recently completed two of them. One was a kit where you paint your own wooden magnets the other one was a tiny tea set that you could paint. I love doing craft kits where you can paint an object without having to build or make anything first. Of course there’s nothing wrong with building or making something it can be a lot of fun. I just like to dive right into the painting part. The wooden magnets were all sea animals. It was fun to paint the smiling sea creatures and I really like the way they turned out. I got this craft kit at Savers and I’m very happy that I did. The next craft kit I got at a local toy store. I remember getting a craft kit similar to this when I was younger but that one was a larger tea set. This one was so tiny and cute. I decided to paint smiley faces on the tea set along with some dots. I like mixing colors when. I paint and I thinks it makes things look really cool. I wonder what arts and craft kit I will do next ?

Pumpkin decorating!

Hello, my bucket list friends I recently finished decorating two pumpkins that I got at the pumpkin patch. I had a fun time decorating them and I can’t wait to tell you all about it. Let’s get to it!

Pumpkin decorating

For my first pumpkin I decided to paint it with the blue and green paint that I got from Michaels. I had fun covering my pumpkin in dots! This is a very simple but very fun way to decorate. I also painted some lines going down the pumpkin. I really liked the overall look of this pumpkin when I finished it. For the next pumpkin I decorated it using a bag of wooden beads from the Dollar Tree. I simply glued the colorful wooden beads on to the pumpkin using my hot glue gun. I decided to do a circle of beads around the top of the pumpkin. Then I used the beads to make a happy face on the pumpkin. I had a lot of fun with this pumpkin decorating project ! Are you decorating pumpkins this year?
