What's that you say? Prim & Whimsy is having a Gallery Hop?!
Lots of cute goodies are looking for new homes?
Sounds fantastic! I'll see you there Santas!
These are the Santas that I started back in August! It's never too late to start shopping for Christmas, right? I figured out my own paper mache pulp recipe. The arid climate hear makes it perfect for drying. They look very sweet in candlelight...the glitter is my favorite glitter of all time and there is LOTS of it on there. Have a great weekend my lovelies! :)
I need to acknowledge some awards and tags that I have gotten...I have to say that I'm very fond of all my blog friends and I wish you all a great holiday. My year has been BETTER for simply knowing you!Azul Valentina gave me the Marie Antoinette award...thank you Azul! :) If you love her avatar, just wait until you see her blog! I LOVE her paintings! Ginger of Loves to Dream is such a dear...she was my first ever swap partner. She links to tutorials and list cool trivia in her posts just about everyday. Thank you sweet Ginger! :)
Pease Porridge of Hot Tamale tagged me with a me-me. It's been a while since I've done one of those! :)
1. In the picture above, the one in the middle is my ABSOLUTE favorite of hers! It's so icy...I can remember the cold snows of PA! :) 2. My ears are super small...they stopped growing when I was little. 3. I long to be a gardener, but I kill everything I touch. lol 4. I wish I could wear dresses like in the 1860's. I did once for a ball, and the weight of it got to be too much, but it was still fun! 5. I love to dance with Awesome Guy...especially swing! 6. My favorite Christmas song is Frank Sinatra's Jingle Bells. Sa boo ba dobie. :)
Each year, we buy one ornament for Awesome Guy and I, and one for the girls. This is ours...isn't it great?! It's by Dani of Ambitions Design...if you read my blog even a little you know I'm a big fan! I couldn't believe all the detail that went into this...the picture does not do it justice, but there it is on the prime spot of our tree. :) Thanks Dani! I made this for Awesome Guy's secret santa gift. It's a candle with a personalized cozy. I DO so much love my embroidery machine! :)
I made up some Christmas ornaments using a print of my Santa painting. They are on etsy right now. :)
Before I leave, how about that little bit of Frankie? :)
P.S. I see everyone commenting about how they are taking a break from blogging until the new year. Not me...I'm right here...this IS my break! lol :)
I'm so excited! This is my first ever treasury! A big thank you to bebeandalice for finding such a neat way to tell this famous story!
P.S. I stumbled across a great drink last night! I'm starting to get a sore throat and our lemonade was a little sour. Too lazy to get regular sugar out of the pantry, I threw the little bit of cinnamon sugar I had left into the lemonade and WOW! was it good! :) Has anyone else ever had that? It actually tastes a bit Christmas-y! Let me know if you try it! :)
It's tough delivering all those packages in one night! Santa takes a much needed cookie break before getting started again. He's munching down over on ebay. I've been having fun with the metallics and glitters lately...good season to be playing with them! His beard has a tint of glitter and the green is shimmery, but subtle.
So you saw the tree I did for Lil, but I'm having such a hard time with Madeline's Wizard of Oz tree! It's a white tree, with a white feather boa and marabou boa...that much looked good. Then I added red balls with blue gingham ribbon and now it looks awful. :( Definitely not stuffed! So far I've thought of using yellow ribbon for the yellow brick road. Something emerald-y maybe? What do you think?
I'm sure you are all super busy this time of year and have a lot to do on your plates. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for stopping by to visit me! :)
Well, I had to do something while Mummy Girl was drying! ;) I used scrap fabric to created little painted sets. They can be arranged in so many ways, even stand up on its own. They are on ebay. Been staying up super late almost every night this week. Busy with stuff for the girls...lots of events going on! I'm on fast forward and making these little sets up gave me a nice break! (Even if it is 4:30am!)
I'm on my way over to etsy to put my Halloween stuff on sale...good morning all! :)
