Its tradition to get together with two of my oldest friends and their kids and have some holiday cheer. I made stars with colored craft sticks and the kids, and moms glued on beads. We also frosted cookies. These girl's moms go way back.

Went to Katie's birthday party and her mom had all her artsy mags out, so I just had to check them, and saw a cute idea for these in 'cloth, paper, scissors' from a december ago. So I ran right home and found a few things laying around and got into the winter mode. Looking forward to the fun decorations in winter. Not looking forward to the cold. And really, I probably don't even know what cold is. Ha.

Just browsing through my photos and picking out my favorites. I really need to get organized and clean up some space on my computer. I have so many pics. These were just a few that I especially like of pieces from the last few years. You don't realize how much you produce until you look back. Its good to see where you've been, it helps point the direction of where you are going.

Try a different angle. You might see something from a different perspective and shed new light on the subject matter. Good advice for photography and for life. Ha!

Fall Decorations

Put my fall decorations up last night. Guess I am finally in the fall mood. I am liking the weather change, and the crisp air. We have been burning our fall candles here at home. So the house looks and smells like the season. I think its one of my favorites, or maybe I just like every new season, because its been a year since we had it. Hope you're getting in the fall mood too. What are you doing for fall?

New Projects

Had a design team meeting on Friday at the Red Bee and got a lot of inspiration from new products at the store. Can't wait to get organized and back in the art room.

Just Around the Corner

Can't believe Fall is almost here again. I think its one of my favorite times of the year. I love the colors black and white and orange together and I love drawing pumpkins too. Can't wait.
