These are my two newest on ebay.

I wanted to share with you a video from All Souls Day Mass. It is impossible to capture how beautiful it is. Every year they light candles on all the graves of a cemetery less than a mile from my house. I tried to sneak a video, but I was right by the generator that was really loud, but you can get the idea. This is not the whole picture. The candles go on and on, but I didn't want to interrupt mass. /:)

Can you guess what Rose and I were for Halloween??

If you guessed Coraline Jones and the 'other mother' you guessed right!

Rose made such a cute Coraline. I loved her freckles and blue hair.

We had such a fun time at my sister Cris's ( Mommy's Midwest Mountain ) house. She had her usual Halloween party. I can't even begin to show you how neat she decorates. It just does not translate on photos.

I do have one photo from the party to share though.

My sister Susan totally takes the prize for best costume.

She came as Edie Beale from the Grey Gardens.

We are all so fascinated with the documentary and movies. If you are a fan of them, you know what I mean. :) Hope you all had a super safe and fun

Halloween! Jennifer

I am ready for the next holiday.

These two winter paintings are up on ebay now.

It already looks like Thanksgiving outside here. All the leaves have fallen off the trees and that makes it walking through the woods season. That is a rule I have set with my children. I like to wait until the trees are bare so that I can see them easily. This picture is from last spring. Foster, our cat was the first to suggest the kick-off walk of the season. I swear he is part dog. On went the rubber boots and off they went for their first adventure of the season. Our little creek was running pretty good because of all the rain we have had. We are still in search for a treasure we buried last year that must have went floating down aways.

I want to end this post thanking Michele Lynch for the Kreativ Bloggers award. If you have not stopped by her blog, please do so. She creates some of the most unique and beautiful pieces of jewelry. Truly one of a kind! Check her out.

I need to go work on my costume!!!
Happy Halloween!!!!

Well, in the last couple of weeks I have been everywhere an elementary child's heart desires to be in the fall.

I am apple pickin', haunted hay ridin', pumpkin carvin', costume packin' and party goin' ed OUT!

I have been on THREE hayrides in the last two weeks.

I am on my way to help out with the fall party at school and then other than Halloween night, I AM DONE.

I never thought I could get sick of fall, but I am ready for something new.

Hee hee.

Hope you all are enjoying the colors. We have had the wettest fall on record, so mind you, most of what I have been doing was in the rain and mud. Fun.

I hope to have some new paintings soon.

Have a super day! I hope it is dry and sunny where you are!

Sleepy Cat up on Ebay .

Got to run!

Boy, I had a rough Thursday night. Poor Anthony had an ear ache come on fast and furious. He was crying so hard. I had given him Motrin, but it only helped a little. I waited an HOUR for the nurse line to call back from the pediatricians office only to find out they would not prescribe meds over the phone. They would have to see him in the morning. Well, of course, I was not waiting until morning. We went to the Urgi-Care and was treated in about 10 mins. By morning the meds had kicked in and he was feeling much better. Phew! Kids getting sick is the scariest feeling to me. I HATE it! I think this is why I love summer so much. With fall comes illness. Yuck.

I do love Halloween though! Halloween decorations are the best.

This is my last Halloween painting of the year. It is up on ebay. What a curious kitty!

Kitty Hug with Flowers. Bright and cheery also up on ebay. I had a hard time deciding to crackle or not to crackle. I decided not. The flowers are so sparkly. It is hard to see in pics, but they really pop.

It sure is getting so cold around here.

Hope you all are keeping warm !

New prints at the Etsy shop.

I have upgraded most of my prints to a semi-gloss full 8X10 size. They look really nice. Check them out.


Also, I had a request for an 11X14 size and found that this came out very crisp and clear.

So I am offering that size too.

That has been my week so far. Now I will go back to painting. I have a few new ones started that I would love to get finished.

I hope you are all keeping away from that nasty flu bug and thank you so much for all of your very kind commments
