If the Turkey is dry....

Hey Everyone....this is my new sign...pretty funny huh!

Nothing worse than a dry turkey...lol.

I can't wait to have turkey and the fixings....I have been on weight watchers since the end of July...lost 32 pounds.  I am going to save my points and eat some of my fav foods....and enjoy the day.  I am very happy with weight watchers...love budgeting my points and still I get to eat alot of what I love.

This sign is now in my etsy shop!

I think the key to true happiness is being thankful and grateful!

I also believe in love being the most important thing there is. 

I am going to try to not stuff myself...because it feels so bad to have an achy tummy.

I would like to take a nice walk...if the weather permits. 

I love pumpkin pie....but I only have it this one time a year.

It always reminds me of mom...she has been gone 18 years....so I love having a bit of her around.

She made wonderful pies....the best crust...so flaky. 

Do you have traditions that really bring back the memories?

I got out a box of "Memories" the other day while looking for my air force picture... it is amazing how life is so different now.

Back then things were simple...which is both good and bad.

Sometimes it seems that we have 7 or 8 lives in one...all very different according to the stages of life.

I am thankful for everything...the past, present and future.

Owl love freebie

Aren't these love birds cute!

Seems like fall decorating is finishing up...soon everyone will put up all the Christmas and holiday decor.

My trees will not quite let the leaves fall...how can I rake when they are still in the trees?

Do you have this problem?

What will happen is it will suddenly get really cold and raking will be impossible because it will be frozen to the ground.

This design would be adorable on the corner of a table cloth. Click on the pic to copy and save.

Happy Veteran's day!

Happy Veteran's Day!!!

That is my mom in the above picture....she was a Navy Vet.

This is my husband Dana...he was Air force. 

My grandfather was in WW1...the first world war....

Met up with his brother in Normandy.

My dad was in the Royal Air force....I don't have a pic of him in uniform though.

And this is me....I am a disabled Air Force vet.

I have other family members that served as well....2 uncles, a cousin, and more.

Happy Veteran's Day!!!

Goodies....all about the house

I had a blast at the craft shows this weekend!

I even made it to the goodwill Christmas sale too....which I will blog about later.

Above is a cool Seahorse and Sea fairy I got from my pal Sue...she makes the most detailed and lovely dolls!

I could never make these pieces of art...everything she makes is so well done.

I got a cool monster guy and eyeball ornie from Karene.

Isn't this so unusual!

I will have to get my other items (which were Christmas decos) out for another day...and take pics.

This is my Christmas mood board...inspiring me for my Christmas illustrations and repeat patterns I am working on.  This mood board is just an old wood frame painted white...and string is stapled to the back...and I use clothes pins to hang up whatever I want!

Look at the cute coloring book!

I love retro ornaments and bright colors!

Seems like old Christmas cards always had glitter and candles on them.

Cool forest...the trees are pink, blue and green...I want to be there!

I got some fun fabric...charm squares...like candy!

Tula pink...Rich and vibrant colors!

Simple posies!

Sweet colors packs that work so well together!

I love the lace and flowers!

Wild Christmas fabric...I can't wait to work on all of these!

Gotta get working and stop playing around!!!

Happy Monday to you!!!

Give thanks ...freebie

Another Friday....already!

Seems like everyday goes by in a flash.

I took down all my Halloween and put up Thanksgiving...I am enjoying the Thankfulness of the season.

This would be a cute design on a napkin corner.

*Please note that all freebies are for you to use to make finished goods (no mass producing though) and gifts...they are still legally my designs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below is a fun Etsy treasury for fall blessings:

There are lots of awesome treasuries on etsy....with hand made goodies and fun collectibles too.

I always am thankful when someone puts one of my items in a treasury...it means they like what I do and it is more promotion.  I sometimes make treasuries too....and give back.

--------------

I am going to a few craft shows this weekend....remember to go and support all the artists and crafters out there....they depend on your support.  Sometimes these moms can only make their christmas money this way.  

Have a good weekend!

Candles and repeating patterns

Today I have been working on new designs and more repeating patterns....practicing some skills.

Here is what my repeating design looks like on the computer.

First I draw some designs...in this case it is candles....the retro kind from my childhood Christmas.

I redraw them in Adobe illustrator.

I add colors and other elements.

By switching colors...you can have a completely different look.

Love this yellow....remember when all the colors of the late 60's and early 70's were this bright and crazy?!!

I made it soft here...much more delicate. 

Love the grays and blues. 

More crazy wildness!!

My mom used to make the brightest clothes for us...this reminds me of it. 

I love how different they can be....it is still the same design. 

I don't know what I like best at this point!

This would be cute wrapping paper....I think.

Love purple.

My mind is spinning.

I now don't know where to start with color options.

If you have a favorite color combo or set ...please let me know....

I am totally not sure of what is best now.

November....

Hey!

It's November!

I thought you might enjoy this lil freebie from a couple years ago.

I took down all my Halloween and now I am putting up Thanksgiving...which is much easier!!!

I feel like I am working out!

I guess that is good for me.

I have been on Weight watchers since the end of July....31 pounds gone!

Happy days!
