Botanical Matchbox Swap

Getting back to normal. We had another power outage

that only lasted 5 hours. So I think things have calmed down.

Anyway I shall be mailing these off today (if we are able to 

get the tree off my car). There is a verse inside these little boxes

that says "If we could see the miracle of a single flower

clearly our whole world would change." Buddha.

This was a fun swap through Milliande. They have so many fun

 groups. These boxes are stamped and water-colored.

 I hope they like them. It feels so good to be back in the studio!

First Snow of the Year

This is the first snow for 2012.

This is just the first half hour and if it keeps up

we shall have a lot of snow.

You cannot even see the mountains behind the 

trees. I shall have to put apples and pears out for

the deer. Suet and feeders have waiting lines already.

I am tucked soundly away in my studio after a 

quick trip to the store for essentials. 

I have been working on the matchbox (botanical)

swap over on Milliandes. I can't show them until they are

mailed. But it is a fun swap. You can still join. Just go

Other than that I have been trying to organize my studio. I don't

think I am making much progress. I think of something I want to

try and the next thing you know I am sitting in the middle of a huge

mess just painting away. Teddy has even dragged his pillow

under my desk and has made a safe cubby for him to

observe from....

I seem to be taking on more projects than I have time for. 

Best laid plans and all that..... 

Oh well...

Hope to have something to show soon, but now I must find the snow shovel :-)
