Creative Tuesdays - Christmas Wonder

Welcome to Creative Tuesdays! I chose to do the 'Christmas Wonder' theme this week. It's done on mint green cardstock in acrylic (8"h x 11"w).  The snow is dotted and lined in silver to add a touch of 'wonder'.

Reunion

I couldn't resist sharing this one with you today, lol:


'Husband takes the wife to her high school reunion.
After meeting several of her friends and former school mates, they are
sitting at a table where he is yawning and overly bored.  The band cranks
up, and people are beginning to dance.  There's a guy on the dance floor
living it large, break dancing, moon walking, doing back flips, buying
drinks for people, the works.

 

Wife turns to her husband and says, "See that guy?
25 years ago he proposed to me, and I turned him down.

 

Husband says: "Looks like he's still celebrating!!!"

 

$5 says you will forward this.'

Sunday Sketches - Treescape

This is just a fall treescape today done in my art journal in watercolour pencil (5"h x 7"w). Happy Sunday Sketches!

Balsamic Vinaigrette

Lately I've been occasionally making my own balsamic vinaigrette dressing. It's so fresh tasting and simple to make. It's 1 part balsamic vinegar to 2 parts olive oil, with salt and pepper to taste.  I have some Himalayan pink salt, so I used that instead of regular salt for a (gourmet) change. Usually I will just grab the bottled dressings, do you tend to make your own dressings?

You could even use this dressing as a bread dip.

Paint Party Friday - A Simple Piece

Welcome to Paint Party Friday. Just a simple piece in my art journal in watercolour pencil (5"w x 7"h).

Baked Eggplant

I decided to bake some eggplant the other day, the long, skinny ones.  I sliced them thinly and mixed with olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and italian seasoning I think.  On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, I baked them at 350F for about 15 minutes.   They were perfect!  Do you like eggplant?  I suspect they are not popular with everyone.

The Birds

I took this photo the other day, see all the birds in the tree? It's interesting how they gather like that in the tops of the branches.  They're not quiet about it either.

Here's a cute commercial for you.

And Kathy recently found this search engine where they don't track you. It's called DuckDuckGo. Why not give it a try?
