A Gift

My sister -in-law and I seems to love the same things. I had a birthday not long ago and this weekend she gave me a present. It was these red and white dipper. I got it home and had it all 'dolled' up and one the wall in 10 minutes!!

Beautiful Simplicity

My oldest grand daughter was visiting at Thanksgiving time and she drew these fairy houses.. I love them. One of every color marker she had!!

Determination

This is the second piece of artwork I have done for this frame.. Found the frame- matched two other frames I had of Christmas pictures - determined to add to this to the other two on the wall..... so did first artwork.... failed totally .. ( it has been a while since I have done ANY true artwork) so tried a different approach... I like it ..simple but kind of the look I wanted.......... at least it is on the wall.

Using Stuff

ok,, this is an awful picture.. but it kind of shows what I did with some fencing I got this weekend. The mitten is a tiny baby mitten and it doesn't have a mate... the camels , star and trees are cookie cutters. The part of a stocking you can see is one I made my husband when we were dating!!! and the wonderful snowman picture came from my sister-in-law.

and so the day slowly drifts away hours of artwork thrown in the wastebasket but feels good to start over tonight or tomorrow

Christmas Red and Snow White

This is part of my Christmas decorating this year... I am into candy canes. All because I found the most wonderful elegant candy canes earlier this year . Most of you know that I love little houses.. so the first thing I had to do is make a house that matched my decor.

Much to my amazement I managed to figure out how to download from my camera and get it on my blog... I feel so proud of myself this morning. As my sister and husband and son in law know full well I am SO not computer savy!!!So I feel very smart today . Course it helps that the sun is shining, I finally feel better( I had a month long cold) and I am ready to start doing one of my favorite things to do... bake Christmas cookies!!! hope your day is full of sunsine and snow and Christmas smells !!!

time to get back to this thing again.... I have a whole bunch of new stuff happening and I guess its time to share.. I just have to remember how this thing works again... like how to put on pictures,, etc.........since I am SOOOO computer challenged!!!... so hang in there I will return!!!
