Time passes...Thanksgivings coming!

I know I haven't been faithful on here everyday. I have been glued to the TV watching the during and after elections. It is a day that will be writtend down in our history books. It is a day that we hopefully have taken down the racial barriers that have haunted the American people for many years. Now with that said lets talk about the holidays coming up.

I haven't been painting as much as I would like to or should. I have been distracted by a little guy. He's 14 months old and well that's the age where they are SUPER curious about everything you are doing. He loves my paint room and well frankly I do to, that's why I try to keep him out of there. Hehe.

Some of my favorite things about the upcoming holidays are the delectible foods. Thanksgiving is and always has been a great time for my family to get together. Well both of my parents have passed away in the last 3 years but the tradition still carries on. I get up at the crack of dawn on Thanksgiving Day and start cooking cornbread, and basting my turkey. I am so excited in the morning to do all of this. I will be doing it without my hubby this year because he is away for Thanksgiving. But my thoughts weigh heavy on his return. Once the dressing is prepared I stuff the Ole bird separate the skin and season and butter it. Then I place it in the roaster and the cooking begins. We have sweet potatos, mashed potatos, green bean casserold, rolls, gravy, home made dressing, and pumpkin pie. Of course don't forget my favorite beverage good olde southern sweet tea...I have to have that everyday. I just thought I would share some of our traditions with you now share with me some of the things you do for traditions.

Tuesday November 4, 2008 ELECTION DAY!

Today is election day. It's time to set aside my work. I will be glued to the T.V. anciously waiting the results. Which we may not know for days. But none the less I will be glued. This will be an election to go down in history. So take the time out of your day to vote. You may think that it doesn't count but it does. You can make a difference especially in the swing states. So Get Out and VOTE! Let your vote be heard.

Have a great day and I have had a suggestion on something to paint so I will be doing something for Christmas. Thanks for looking in on my blog.

Monday Monday

Good evening to all. I haven't been painting much these last couple of weeks. The little guy that I watch won't let me. But I will get back to it and then I will give you a sneak peak of what's going to be on the website for sale. Does anyone have any requests? Well if so just tell me and I will see what I can do.
These past couple of weeks have been super busy you could say. I had a birthday a couple of weeks ago. Yep they just keep coming and you can't slow them down. I have been trying to slow down myself. But I don't think that is allowed. Well I should find something constructive to do so have a good evening everyone.

Sweet Annie Prim Hang Tags

I have just finished some hang tags. I have listed them on the website so go check them out. I will post pics and if your interested grab them. They are scented and grungied up with my concoction of different spices and coffee and tea. I really enjoyed making these. They are heavily scented and also sealed for protection. I plan on doing some more as the season changes to winter I love doing those. I usually put them on my products but there great on gifts or to hang on the tree. If you would like a larger amount just email me and i'll get to work. Thank you again for looking in.

Sleeping Ginger!

Hello guys...This is a gourd that I painted early in the year. It is also a lamp. It stands 10" tall and 28" around. It is a kettle style gourd. I have painted gingerbread guys on it. With flour, and sugar bags at their feet. I am going to place on the website for sale. Get over there and check it out. It is a one of a kind. The gourd is painted all the way around with Blue velvet for the sky, and Asphaltum for the ground. The gingerbread men are different colors of browns. I know the one pic is a little blurry but I wanted you to see that it is lit up. It has the moon and stars cut out at the top. I used the famous mini tool to do this. It is a fabulous little saw. Thanks for peeking in to see what i've created again.
