Fancy Gift

My sister who lives in Florida sent this photo of some fancy perfume she received as a Christmas gift.

We usually stay home quietly on New Year's Eve, this year is no exception. How about you?  

Mushroom Meringues

cookie exchange

My sister who lives in California sent me a photo of some cookies from one of her cookie exchange parties. I thought those mushroom meringue cookies that someone made were so neat, can you see them in the photo above? Some people really outdo themselves!

Banana Cream Cupcakes

Before Christmas, daughter L made these banana cream cupcakes for our new neighbours. They have 3 small kids and we thought they would enjoy them. It was a good feeling knocking on their door with these, they thanked me so much!

On Christmas Day they knocked on our door with a lovely surprise box of chocolates.

Paint Party Friday - Snowy Owl Landing

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! This is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") on canvas paper. I used Sharpie oil paint markers, permanent markers and a PITT finepoint marker. Thinking of winter, I did a Snowy Owl Landing. I have never seen one in real life but I've heard they have quite a wing span.

Uplifting

Daughter L gave me this nice large mug, a friend had given it to her and she uncovered it recently having forgotten about it. I am happy to use it, the words are such an uplifting way to start one's morning don't you think?

Scribble Picnic - Bang

Welcome to Michael's Scribble Picnic. The theme is 'Bang'. I thought of things that go 'Bang' and decided on doing drums today. It is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") on card stock in metallic markers, and permanent markers outlined with a PITT fine point marker. I hope the photo shows a bit of the metallic sparkle.

Christmas Day 2018

Have a warm and wonderful Christmas Day! I took this photo at my mother in law's long term care home when we visited. The tree was so beautiful.  In some good news, I don't seem to have gained any extra weight thus far this season.
