After the holidays....

I always feel a little sad after the holiday hoopla...does anyone else feel this way?

I'm glad that the shopping is done...everyone has opened gifts...all of the food and drink has been merrily consumed. I think I am just sad that there is not any more major reasons to get together as a huge family for awhile. I see my grandparents and my aunts and uncles now and then but everyone including myself is so busy during the rest of the year it is hard to see everyone as a group except on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Anyways...I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! The husband and I went back and forth between our families for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Luckily our parents do not live far from each other so it wasn't bad at all!

Both the husband and I ate our way through Christmas so starting tomorrow (or the next day!) we are eating healthy! That means no more Christmas cookies!



I have also taken a break these past few days from art but tomorrow I am going to get back into the swing of things and start making some spring collages to put in my etsy store. I am already excited for warm weather!

Well have a good one and I hope to post some new art tomorrow!

Tis the season....for more birds!

I have been working hard this weekend on some new collages/paintings for my etsy store. Here are a couple that will be going up today. All I need to do is photograph them and have the husband mat them (he is amazing at it!)and then post to etsy! I am going to keep working on some more art today and hopefully get at least two more done by the days end. We shall see!

I have also been working on that picture book for my niece that I posted about a couple days ago. Things are going well and I am really excited about it! I will have to post some pictures soon! Thanks for all of your sweet comments concerning the book...it keeps me going!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Christmas in October?

Just wanted to pop in and say hello! I have been so crazy busy with things lately, I have barely been able to get online! I just wanted to post some Holiday collages I just completed this weekend. They are up on my etsy site and hopefully will be Christmas cards also! It is weird to think Christmas is 2 months away! Where does the time go?!
