"The Race" is up on ebay now. I love this one. It is a 5x7 and looks so pretty in a frame.

The next one is a BIG 16x20. It is so hard to get a good picture of paintings this size because I can't use my scanner. Also, it rained all week so no good days to take a picture outside. I do love the cold feel I get from this one. I did little snow flakes all over the scene. Burrr.

Anthony is home sick again from school. He is catching every germ. Poor boy. I do think Foster enjoys the company though.

Sorry, this picture of Foster is a tad obsene.

Below is a short video of Nino making 'Pork and Dumplings' instead of 'Chicken and Dumplings' because both Nino and my husband are slightly allergic to chicken.

It was very delicious!

Love ,

I have two new paintings up on ebay and I have a 16X20 that I will post soon too.


Don't you just love taking walks in the snow on a moonlit night? How about picking out a Christmas tree on a moonlit night?

I have Christmas trees on the mind lately. It is that time of year. In fact, we have already spotted some up in nearby homes!

I wanted to do a real tree this year, but I am not sure . We have an artificial one that I have never really been happy with. Maybe if I spend the money I would have spent on a tree on a bunch of new lights, I might like it more. Hmmmm. There really is nothing like a real one though.

Here is a picture of my sweet little Boy Scout. We went 'Scouting for Food' for the local food pantry this weekend. Anthony was so proud going door to door in his uniform and everyone was so polite to him. It was a very nice experience.

Well, I hope you all got some rest in this weekend. I plan to tonight. :)

Love, Jennifer

I have nothing new to show this week due to the normal interruptions like this one. Yes, that is orange marker all over her face. I didn't see what she was up to until she came to me asking for orange ears. I screamed first and then made the ears.

A late BIG Thank you to all the Veterans out there, (my father in law)!

Hope everyone is having a good week.

Love,

Jennifer

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!

Jennifer
