Gingers Everywhere!!!!

Hi Everyone!!! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! Now Christmas is just around the corner. The last few weeks have been a difficult time here in my household. Our beloved dog Mia passed away here at home. She was 11 years old  my best friend and companion. She sat with me for countless hours in my workroom while I painted. We all miss her terribly. A few days after that ordeal we all came down with the flu. I got better just in time to prepare for Thanksgiving and celebrate with the family. So this weekend I'm trying to catch up with orders and listing trees on ebay. It's hard to catch up with things when your busy and you lose so many precious days. Oh I forgot I still have to decorate the house!!!!
I was able to list two Gingerbread trees on ebay. If you get a chance have a look. Well I hope you all enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!!!

It's Santa Time!!!!

Hi Everyone!! Hope you all had a great weekend. It was a wonderful one for me. It was my birthday on Saturday and my family took me out for a delicious dinner. It was good to relax and spend time with everyone.




Today I worked on a Santa tree. This is a fun design by Terrye French. It's a primitive Santa with a winter scene on his beard. It's full of festive decorations that sparkle and shine. I have it listed on ebay. Well I'm off to clean up my workroom. I make a mess when I'm creating. I hope you all have a great week:)

Trees Trees And More Trees!!!!!

Well I have been hard at work this weekend. I just finished two trees. I did a saltbox theme Americana tree. I painted a wooden box with a Terrye french design. It has a lot of different patriotic ornaments on it. I spent half of the day yesterday painting the little stick Uncle Sam's for my trees. I also finished another small Americana tree in a red colander. I have them both listed on Ebay. Later on today I'm going over to my daughters house to work on the cricut. She wants to make birthday invitations for her son's first birthday. We had to take a class for that machine. We would of never figured that out on our own. A lot to learn, but once you get the hang of it the possibilities are endless. I'll see how we do!!! Well I hope your all having a good Sunday and I'll talk to you soon:)
