Painting Season!

Well, really, I can paint ANY season, but for some reason I really want to paint today!  Has anyone tried Martha's new paint line?  I am really interested in how her paint handles glass.  Must paint a snowman!!!  Wish I had a place to sell my stuff so I can justify painting more stuff.  This weekend is the Moonshine Festival.  Maybe I could get Hank to stand on a corner with my windows.

I did try making apple fritters today.  They were ok.  Not up to Kroger standard though.  The boys ate them, so they were not a total bust!  My next experiment will be lasagna soup.  Still looking for a good black bean recipe - black bean chili or black bean soup.

Lindsey has been creating lots in her new home.  Her burlap wreath is really cute.  I wish I had a picture to show you.  She is really enjoying decorating her home - doing a lot of up-cycling/recycling with old finds.  She is really getting into it.

I guess I better go dig out an old window so I can paint me a snowman.  Anyone need a new Christmas decoration?  I can give you a deal.....

A Christmas sweatshirt I made or a cute pair of Christmas socks or Christmas hair bow - something cute or fun to begin the holiday season. They are now adults, but I still get them something each December 1.  I mail it. Or if I see them at Thanksgiving, I can give it to them. I still do little things - Christmas earrings, Bath & Body Works Peppermint soap, a holiday candle. Oh, and I have a son that I don't leave out of the "Happy December" gifting. He has his own apartment now, so I can give him festive items, like Santa salt and pepper shakers or a Dunkin Donuts gift card for a speciality coffee. Or one year I gave him a pack of lip balm (ye...

From Twigs to Trees!

OK, girlfriends, I'm ready to show you what I have been working on for weeks and weeks.  I told you I was working on something for two special people - it is done!  Let me tell you who, what, when, where, and why.  For as long as I can remember I have given my girls a "Happy December" present.  I just love the Christmas season so much that I am ready to begin the celebration.  So on December 1 I would have a gift for my kids.  They might come home from school and find a Christmas shirt on their bed or I would present them with Christmas socks or a Christmas trinket, maybe cookie cutters or sticker book.  Just something.   For fun!  This year I made: Grapevine Christmas trees!!!!  I had lots of help!  My sister, Nancy, Mark, and Hank all helped me gather the vines.  Poor Hank got poison twice from helping me find vines!  Then I wrapped the vines around a tomato cage using the vines and thin wire. ...
