Sunset

One of my favorite shots from our visit to Bosque Del Apache.  The cranes were coming in at sunset to roost for the night.  The sunset was awesome!

Talk to you again soon.

January

One day it was here the next it was gone! Don't know where January went, but here I am at the end of it and don't really have anything to show for it. Work has been busy, I've been taking some evening classes and volunteering all weekend at church for the last few weekends. So there hasn't been much time for creating and I've been feeling it. So today while the workmen are here completely re-piping my house and cutting big holes in the walls all over the place, that they assure me will be patched up so no one will ever know, I closed myself in my creative space and made a birthday card. Just one since I've also had the dog in here pacing because she can't go out and bother the workers.

(about the card: I used mostly scraps that were floating around my worktable, and I've been fidgeting with making crepe paper flowers, I kind of like how they turned out. All the ink and cardstock is from Close to my heart. and so is the birdcage stamp and the glitter, of course.)
I must have birds on the brain because tomorrow I'm going with a friend on a photographing trip to the Bosque Del Apache Bird Refuge. Our photography instructor is meeting us there to help us work on our technique. It's supposed to be beautiful, 62 degrees. Can't wait, it should be fun. If I get any good shots I'll be sure and let you know. Talk to you again soon.

Holiday Cards 2010

A bright and cheery holiday card.  This is one of a very few we'll be passing out this year.  I just ran out of time.

This one is a little more elegant, but with lots of sparkly glitter.  So much left to do and so little time to do it!! Guess I'm off to get busy.  Talk to you again soon.

December Weddings

We have two weddings to attend this week.  This is the first of the to wedding cards I'm making.  The second card isn't finished yet, I'll try to get a picture of it before we leave for the festivities.

Talk to you again soon.

Jingle all the way!

I was just practicing with the camera.  I have this colorful and sparkly jingle bell wreath hanging on my office door.  I am hoping your holiday is colorful and full of sparkly fun!  We've had snow, now I just need to find some mistletoe...

Stay warm and healthy and I'll talk to you again soon.

Count down to Christmas!

Finished up these 12 days of Christmas count down calendars for my library volunteers.  They were a big hit and fun to put together as well.

The little tins have magnets on the back so the shape of the countdown can be rearranged every year.  I used lots of glitter and bling.  Some of the days are filled with candy for sharing and others have tiny ornaments and the last day is a cute little Christmas bracelet for my wonderful workers.

I'm counting the days till I'll be spending time with family and friends this holiday season.  I hope your days are filled with love, hope, joy and peace.  I'll talk to you soon.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you and yours have many things to be thankful for.

I'll talk to you again soon!
