Twas the night before Christmas..............


Twas the night before Christmas and all thru the house,
Not a creature was stirring, including Verna's drunk spouse.
So they girls got together and made up a plan,
How to take him off the "Naughty List" with a fryin' pan.
They elected Granny cause' she's got the swing,
She was 3rd place winner in the pie pan fling!
So she snuck down the stairs in her gown and cap,
Hoping he was sleeping with a long nice nap.
He never knew what hit him, but he won't be missed,
She knew Santa would love to take him off his Naughty list!!
Merry Christmas!

My Cat friendly Bridal Tree.

This is my Colleen Moody doll that I made at Terri Brush's Art Camp. Of course I couldn't wait to use her on my Christmas tree this year. I used this same theme a couple of years ago when I had kittens and it turned out ok. Well, we have two 8 month old kittens again so I had to put up a tree that they can't break everything.........I hope!
She looks so pretty with lights under her skirt.
 
Just some old wedding photos to complete the look.
It's amazing how cute you can make a really cheap tree!
 
I didn't want to spend too much on this small tree in case they destroyed it.
 Ta-Da!
Another angle.
I hope you all enjoy the season and enjoy your time with loved ones. Hubby and I will be here in Fort Worth, staying close to home and having a very laid back easy holiday.
Thanks for stopping by! 
Merry Christmas to you and yours!

My bags are packed for 2014!

I have decided that the year 2014 will be my year to roam. It's no secret that 2013 has not been a good year, so, I am looking forward to 2014 with open possibilities and hopefully invitations to visit my beautiful creative friends that live far away. 
Through the magic of Facebook I have been able to keep in touch!
Gone are the days when we would talk for hours, multi-tasking while we talk, trying not to tangle yourself in the phone cord while solving all the world's problems in one phone call!
SO, I am calling my friends, looking up events and marking my calendar to make sure I see everyone I can possibly see!
Now my freshman roommate in college may disagree, 
but I'm a clean house guest! 
I hang up my towels and I'll even do dishes! 
I promise not to bring too much luggage, is 4 too many?
And, if I start to drive you crazy just give me the boot!
This is my 2014 motto. 
What I hold deepest in my heart are my friendships.
I want to enjoy every step of my journey laughing and holding hands with those I love.

And, when it's time to pack up and go, it will be with a heart and mind filled with fun and long lasting memories!
So, keep me in mind when you have an event in your area or if you just want a visit let me know!
Sometimes you just have to invite yourself or,
 you'll never get there!
Happy Holidays to you all.

Ann Perry's Winter Wonderland

I KNOW! Isn't it wonderful! 
I walked in the front door of Ann Perry's shop, saw this and clod-hopped over everyone in my way to get to this piece. I know those women were thinking, what tornado just blew through here!
Just me being a brat and doing what it took to get this piece!!
This is one of the pieces that my friend Charlene Gray found, 
isn't it adorable? She also found a very old wicker baby carriage that no one else could see because it was up real high on a chest. 
Well Miss Long-Legged saw that and snatched it up, SCORE!
"fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...."
"Oh the weather outside was frightful, 
but inside was pure delightful.." 
These were not for sale........yet!


Yes please!


And, this was the end of our shopping trip! Many thanks to Charlene for driving the four hours down and back, and, many thanks to Ann Perry for her great hospitality!!
