    It’s a wrap…well almost

    December 30, 2016 - By 

    Here we are…New Years Eve eve…aka Mini-me’s b-day! She is 14 today! Holy smokes…I can hardly believe it!

    I thought I’d share a little collage as a bit of a year in review.

    Art, sewing, gardening, canning, painting, leather stamping and remembering…and oh yes, Marvin exploring the snow.

    I’m sure someone will ask…the mural of Prince was spray painted on the side of the local movie theater by a New Zealand artist in about a weeks time. It’s very impressive in both detail and scale. Here’s a link to a news clip if you’re interested.

    Happy New Year…a bit early! Be safe. Wishing you all the best in 2017!!

    T Tuesday: Wednesday edition

    December 28, 2016 - By 

    I’ve fallen a bit behind with T stands for Tuesday in both posting and visiting. I blame it on the holidays and birthdays this time of year. Time seems to slip through my fingers like sand through an hourglass.

    I did finish up an art journal page on Christmas morning while we were trying to determine if we’d have to delay our family get together due to the sheet of ice covering everything. Instead of worrying, I created. grateful heart

    The words reflect what I was feeling.

    grateful heart

    I even included a coffee cup as each morning I start my day with that as well.

    Today will be spent on laundry, sewing, maybe a bit of shopping and quality time with my girl.

    What are you doing today?

    T Tuesday: almost Christmas edition

    festive mug

    I got out a festive and oversized mug to help me through our subzero temps. Sunday morning it was -25°F here. Luckily there wasn’t the wind that had been in the forecast otherwise it would have been awful!! I delivered a plate of treats to the neighbor in the afternoon and though…”huh, it’s not that bad out here.” It was -7°F at the time. We are a crazy bunch here.

    A few days before we had a small gathering with my in-laws to celebrate the December birthdays. My psuedo SIL just came back from Japan and brought the kids each a variety pack of Kit-Kats.kit-kats

    There are some really strange flavors in there including….sake kit-kat

    sake. That is really strange. We’ve tried several of them and they’ve all been good, even the green tea.

    Have a Merry Christmas everyone!

    I’m off to do my big grocery shopping trip before the weekend…
