Happy New Year!!!

Well, this is a time for thinking about the past year....what we wanted to get accomplished, what we actually got accomplished, and what we are determined to get accomplished this next year.


This past year has been a rough one, but has only made me more motivated and determined to get things under control. One thing I would really like to improve on is the amount of posting on this blog. I would like to start promoting other artists from my groups...Old FarmHouse Gathering, CaaT, and Folk Art Fans. And since one of my BIG goals is to create and paint way more throughout the year, I will post more often about the new ideas and creations I come up with.

Of course, I will be doing all this working around my new work-out schedule at the gym, and writing out menus so I can start eating better...............I'm sure that all sounds familiar??? No, really, I'm gonna do it, really I am!!! LOL!


To everyone and their goals for the New Year:

God Bless and Happy New Year!!!

I won......I won.........I won!!!

Coming from Las Vegas, you would think that winning was no big deal and a regular thing for me, huh? Wrong!! I gave up slots and any other type of gambling cuz I could never manage to win, and it just ain't any fun if you don't win. My sister, on the other hand, always managed to win some whenever she hit the casinos, but when I gave her money to play with to win for me, do you think she won?? Uh, NO! LOL!

But I won today!! Not $$, but something just as good, in my opinion. Deb, from Deb's Primitive Country Kitchen , had a drawing over the weekend for one of her awesome primitive grungy beeswax cones. And I'm one of the lucky winners!! Thanks, Deb.......I can't wait to get it!!!

Be sure to go check out her other great primitive items in her etsy shop. You won't be disappointed!

GingerBread Ornies............

Here's my latest creation. Kim, from I Love Etsy, asked me if I would make some of these. Silly me, I had never even thought of it !! Where was my head? Anyway, these are made out of paper mache balls, and I just had to add some diamond dust to the icing for some bling. Doesn't show up real well in the photos......they look much better off camera, lol. Can't figure out how to manage the flash yet.

I will be adding these to my etsy shop soon, selling them in sets.
