An Inspiring Blog!

This morning I decided that I had to get started on a new project,
so I Googled "Christmas Blogs".
I like to make things and have them tucked away in my cupboard for
SPECIAL PEOPLE!

I fell in love with this blog, Deck the Halls.
I spent hours reading one post after another.
I am totally inspired to order something from her store, or create
 something of my own design.



 So clean looking and pretty!


Love the apple!
She has a variety of different apples on her blog
and in her shop.

I liked the pillows. She had others, but they
didn't transfer to my blog very clearly.
You'll have to look for yourself!

Now, why didn't I think of this!!
So darn cute!!
Wouldn't they sell fast at a Fall Bazaar!

I'm going back to read some more posts...
Bye!

Make this a great day!

"I'm Baaaaaaaack!" Jack Nicholson in The Shining.

It feels good to be back after my long detour via Facebook.
Facebook is fun, but brief and quick.
I did make some good connections with old friends
and we shared a lot of fun lunches together.

But, I missed my blog and my blog friends.
How are all of you?
Time for me to visit your blogs and catch up!

Below are a few mixed media canvases, that I made since my last post.
You can double click for detail!
"Happy House"


"Favorite Shoes"

A picture I made for a new friend who is a bird watcher.

Fun, fun, fun!
(The process that is).

Since my last post, Wendy and her husband Darin, bought a
BIG new home in Phoenix.
My SIL, Mary, and I are going to visit them in October. 
And then I'll return for our annual Thanksgiving Fiesta.

Wendy is going to Thailand for a trade show right before
Thanksgiving, and squeezing in a wedding in The Keys.

Kristin is loving her move to Denver, and she is headed to Cabo
in Mexico before Thanksgiving.
As you know, my girls never waste a moment of travel time.

Next year will be Wendy and Darin's 40th birthday, and they've
already reserved a villa in the South of France.
There will be lots of friends going along to help them celebrate.

Make this a great day!!
Joni

I'm off to read your blogs!
