Sunday Postcard - Open Theme

Open theme this week at Sunday Postcard.   My skater is compliments of Miles Beyond the Moon (thank you!).    Happy New Year everyone!

Three Muses - Me

You might think that's Mary Poppins, but actually it's me!   When I'm bored,  I just go up, up and away for a change of scenery.   Truthfully, on rare and wonderful occasions, I've had flying dreams very like this, in which I just seem to elevate and fly upright over the world below, gently landing on my feet when and where I please.  I wish I could recall those dreams on command. They were wonderful!!

Collage Obsession - Winter

So far my world has escaped snow, and our Christmas day was sunny and crisp.   I've taken one of the images and put her in a new setting, and added a bit of green compliments of CreateWings Designs.  Thanks for the challenge, CO!  Happiest of New Years everyone!

Take a Word - Print

There's nothing like nosing through a used book store and finding treasures.  I love the scent of old books,  and I always wonder from whose library they've come.   My lady here is courtesy of Ms. Inman,  book page from Maya at Scrapbookgraphics, elements from Irene Alexeeva.   Thanks for stopping by!

Three Muses - Angel

Sunday  night my son and his wife picked me up and we drove about town looking at Christmas lights and displays.   I love this time of year.  It's as if an angel flew over the neighborhoods spilling jewels of light and magic.   My angel is a clip art freebie by Pamela Perry.   Her jewels are from Lorie Davidson at SBG, and the holly sprig is from CreateWings Designs.   May the peace and magic of Christmas be with you and yours, my blog friends!

CO - Candle

Candle is the theme at Collage Obsession this week.    May the light of peace and good will lighten all the dark corners of the world this holiday season!

Take a Word - Sepia

Sepia is the challenge at Take a Word this week.    I caught Santa on the fly over the prairie.   Credit for house to Swainboat (thank you!). 

Sunday Postcard - Vintage

This sweet image of children is from Flickr Collage Images.   It made me think of my son, who could NEVER go to sleep on Christmas Eve.   It made for some late nights for Mr and Mrs Santa, waiting for him to be sleeping before they put the gifts under the tree!    There's nothing like the eyes of children on Christmas morning to bathe us in the warmth of love and good cheer.

Three Muses - Tis the Season

Each of us has our own special Christmas memories, traditions that vary from family to family, from religion to religion,  from country to country.   It's a time of good cheer, love for our fellow man, and a time to savor the gift of giving.   It's about worship and gratitude, children and magic,  good food  and family,,,,,,,and a time of year that brings out the very best in us.    I wish we could bottle up these good things and make them last all year!.

Collage Obsessions - Trio

What a fun challenge at Collage Obsessions!  My three blind mice seem to have finished decorations for the holiday, and appear to be in a festive mood.

Three Muses - Oddities

My "odd bod" came together with a face from Tumblefish Studios, eyes from another Tumblefish Studios,  body from Land of Nod, hand from my own stash, and some bits and pieces from Holliewood Studios.  Such fun!!  Great challenge, Ann.
