Three Muses - Odd Couple

A little over 25 years ago, I was sketching Santa figures on 1-inch pine, cutting them out with a band saw,  sanding them, painting them with oils, then sanding again to age them.  This odd couple is a product of that hobby, photographed and superimposed on a googled background, with a little digital tweaking.   I don't know how odd they are, but I do know they're one of a kind!  Thank you for stopping by to have a look!

Take a Word - Childhood

There's nothing like the innocent eyes of a child...born without prejudice, without hatred, without bias....so trusting and full of hope. We could learn so much from them. Thanks, Marie, for the word this week! My little charmer is from Flickr Collage Images (SuzyQue).

Sunday Postcard - Robin

This is the view in my back yard two days ago. If Robin Redbreast had visited then, he'd have been in for a shock, and looked somewhat like this!

Three Muses - Flowers

Amidst all the Christmas posts, here's a glimmer of warmer days for those of us in the frozen north! The flowers are compliments of CR Designs, the flower girl is mine. Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas from Me

Today, I'm addressing my Christmas cards. I want to send this copy to all my friends in Blogland. Sharing thoughts, ideas and art with wonderfully talented people from lands near and far has been such an enriching experience for me. Thank you for your kind comments and blog visits. Bless you one and all!

TakeaWord - Mail

Mail is the great challenge word at Take A Word this week. The letters are copies of art mail I've sent to friends, the stamps are my own, as is the girl. Other bits and pieces are googled. I hope your mail brings good things to you this week, blog friends, and thanks for stopping by!

Theme Thursday - Fun Images

The theme at Theme Thursday is "fun images". I've always heard the term "behind the 8-ball" used when describing someone in trouble. Here's my guy behind the 8-ball, but he doesn't look the least bit concerned! This was a fun challenge, guys! Thanks for stopping by.
