As Precious As She Is


When I saw this beautiful handmade tree on my friend Myric's blog, Petites Passions, I thought to myself, "This tree is as precious as she is!"

I just wanted to share it with you and spotlight this gorgeous creation~

It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas


My mailbox has been filled with all kinds of surprises! The first is a gorgeous handmade card from my friend Donna at My Shabby Chateau! It is filled with glittery goodness!

Look what was inside the package wrapped so beautifully....These gorgeous icycles all hand-strewn...They are dreamy and they sparkle!!!!

And imagine my surprise when I opened the card with this gorgeous handmade cross from Dee at A Lapin Life--It is so dainty and precious--and Dee even has a tutorial on her blog about how to make them!


And I received a box from Linda at Random Creativity! In it were some items I could open before Christmas....and others on Christmas Day. There was this handmade wreath ornament and a precious book that is an ornament...I wish you could see these in person--they are stunning!


Here is a close-up of these precious treasures.....


And all the way from Scotland came this beautiful handmade card from Lynne at Adorn! And I put it right next to my tree....(which is where everything else has been displayed too.)

THANK YOU so much!!! You have touched my heart with your love, creativity, and kindness.

Vintage Christmas Ideas~Home for the Holidays!




Part of being home for the holidays is coming up with a creative idea for something special to make for my wonderful neighbors here in New Orleans! Well, I just completed making these Advent calendars...


But, this was not my original idea!!! Carol at The Answer is Chocolate not only came up with it, but she also has a FREE graphic to make one (or more!) So, if you want to pop over to see Carol and scroll down her page, you can grab the graphic--and please tell her I sent you--I know she'd be thrilled.


I just completed making a small gingerbread themed tree for my breakfast room and I thought it was such a cozy idea to have it nestled in a vintage train case...


Poinsettia's line my foyer~


This is part of my breakfast room vignette...


And I love the glow of sparkly snowflakes~


I have a special tradition....Every year, I try to find a project to create for my friend Marcia in her favorite colors--turquoise and red! This year, I was lucky to find this image from dear June at Dezinaworld~a little girl carrying a Christmas tree home for the holidays!


I created this piece on a vintage book cover...


And it hangs from seam binding....Marcia's blog is "One Heart at Home," so I always look for a design that includes a heart too!!!

I am entering this into the City Crafter Challenge~"Home for the Holidays."

My new book Mixed Media Art: Living Your Passion just became a Best-seller on Amazon!

To celebrate my book, I have a FREE seminar at the top of my blog called Amazing Art Adventure~Please join me--it's fun!
