Merry Christmas from Our Home!

This week, my friend Daniella from Daniella Hayes has much to celebrate! You see, she is featured in Altered Arts Magazine....


But, little does she know that she has something else to celebrate too--She is the winner of my Novica giveaway--Congratulations, Daniella! (I know you'll probably faint from the news as I almost did too!)

Thank you ALL for playing along and joining in my giveaway from this fabulous company...I think that their online catalogue is totally amazing!!!


I want to wish you all a happy holiday season....


I hope that this will be the best Christmas ever...


And that all of your dreams and wishes come true...


Here are some glimpses around our house....This is one of our fireplaces--It's in our familyroom....


Little packages ready to go....


The fireplace mantel aglow....


Joan of Arc, a family heirloom that sits in our livingroom....


A Christmas caroler....


And part of our livingroom....

Well, that's a little holiday glimpse around here...I hope you're all having a happy season of blessings!!!

A Special Note: Do you have any last-minute Christmas gifts to make, but need ideas? My Ebook, Mixed Media Art: Living Your Passion is filled with awesome craft projects to make! It's just $2.99! It just reached NUMBER ONE in Mixed Media Ebooks on Amazon!!! I am sooo excited!

(If you don't have a Kindle, you can download a free app. to read it right on your computer...the link to the app. is up on a tab at the top of my blog that says "Read Ebooks Right on Your Computer.") Imagine projects made with easy-to-get images, adorable creations made with burlap--and more! The recipients will be excited--and impressed!!

XO
Cindy
