This very special edition of Creative Juice features posts from My OBT, one of my very favorite blogs. Every day, Donna shares something beautiful—or not so beautiful. I include at least one of her posts in CJ each week, but I have so many in reserve I thought I’d bless you with a whole bunch today. If you enjoy them, you might want to subscribe to My OBT so you never miss a single one.

Taxidermy with a twist.
Reminiscent of the old masters.
Balloons and more.
Designer cookies.
Some of these tile floors remind me of quilts.
Wielding the palette knife.
Colorful Burano, Italy.
Architectural images in watercolor.
Wooden boxes like you’ve never seen before.
Blowing glass.
Photographs from on high.
