Farm Christmas ornaments

     First off I'll apologize for the terrible pictures.  The light sources in my house are awful.

     I've used some of the critters from the latest Purple Onion Designs release to make some ornaments for my little birch tree.

     Each ornament is a shaker and has a little Christmas greenery to dress it up.

     Hope this brought you a little holiday cheer.

Ugly sweater

Well, for those of you familiar with the old Christmas cartoon, The Year Without a Santa Claus, I'll just let you know that Mrs. Claus has worked her magic again and gotten Heat Miser to allow it to snow in Southtown.  LOL  Yep, it snowed in the coastal counties of Mississippi yesterday, an extremely rare occurrence.  It was even cold enough for it to stick.  Just a light dusting so the remnants are quickly melting in the sun this morning.
     This lady from Art Impressions would have felt quite comfortable here yesterday because it was definitely sweater weather, ugly or not.  You can find the Ugly Sweater stamp set at your local Michael's craft store.

     Still in the thirties most of today so I'll be inside staying warm.  Hope you're toasty too.
     Have a blessed day!

Halloween tag tree

     Now I don't do Halloween, but several Halloween stamp sets were in my goodie box from Art Impressions.  I decided to used some of the smaller images to make tags.  I found this cool birch tree that lights up at Michaels to hang them on.

     Lots of crazy critters huh.  LOL
