Second Visit from the Tooth Fairy

Anthony was determined to lose a loose tooth, so after a night of eating crunchy food, success!

I was so happy for him, and then my thought immediately went to, Do I have any substantial change in this house? And, ohhhhh, now have to wait up for the tooth fairy.

We spent the next day shopping because of course the tooth fairy money was burning a hole in his pocket. He found some cool spy gear and Rose opted out of a professional hair cut in exchange for a barbie. She is 4 and has still never been to the beauty parlor, or in my world, Custom Cuts. Ha ha.

I am pretty good with a swing bob cut, so I treated her to my special, buy a haircut from me get a free Barbie. She went for it. I washed her hair in the sink just like they do. I even styled it and did her nails. Everyone was happy.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Star Light Star Bright

These lovely angels have been a big part of my week! They did take more time than I had planned, but it was fun. They all have such different personalities and it was interesting doing the photo shoot this morning. I could see them all checking each other out!

These star boxes I found were so cute, I could not resist doing something with them. Well, since I really do not have a past of angels saved on CD, I couldn't collage prints so I had to hand paint all of these beauties. woooh! A lot of work for 5 little boxes.

These boxes are so neat though! They have little magnets that hold the lid on. They can sit perfect in a tree or at your bedside. I am calling them Prayer/Wish boxes. You just write your prayer or wish on a piece of paper, fold it up and tuck it in. Let your personal angel work on it. I have something like this myself and for some reason, having my prayer in a special place just makes me feel better. Funny, huh. PS. A small Rosary will also fit. :)













I also finished a very grumpy snowman. He is yelling "Let it Snow!"


Have a Fun Friday!! Jennifer

As the Weekend Comes to an End

Today we decorated our Christmas Tree . We have it in a new spot this year so I am still getting use to it. The kids have a fort built all around it and my husband is upset that he can't get near the TV to watch the game . Hhhhhhh. As sad as I am that the Thanksgiving weekend is coming to an end, I am also ready for everyone to go back to routine. :)

I will leave you with my most recent painting . I just listed it on ebay.

Antiquing We Will Go

It is a family tradition for all of us sister's, nieces and of course our Mother to go Antiquing the day after Thanksgiving in a little town where they serve cookies and coffee by candle light in every shop. We decided a long time ago to avoid the overcrowded stores of the city for a quiet slow paced day of Antiques and specialty shops. Did I say quiet? Well, it was actually far from quiet with all of us girls.







We came upon a new shop in town that sold felted wool and hook rug patterns and everything else that Jenny Carter of Wonders of Whimsy is doing right now. It was so beautiful in there that we all walked out with something to work on. Somehow I was even signed up for a class! I know I will not have time for this. It must have been those chocolate chip cookies she had sitting out that sweetened me up.;) Here is a pic of a display in the store with all of these wool balls attached to everything. My sister Cris in red from Mommy's Midwest Mountain and I were so taken with these wool balls that we had to get a bag. Here we are dividing the balls below. You can imagine our laughter as we picked over these balls.

Like always, it was a very fun day and we were so sad to see it end.

Hope you all are having a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving weekend!

Well Read

I stepped away from Christmas to do this one that I had in my mind.

This painting has been signed by Tamale. Ha ha. While I was collaging this one , I came across one of her many paw prints on my paper and thought , what the heck. She has a habit of walking through my paint and then leaving a trail. Naughty Kitty. Maybe this is what she was trying to do.
