Bake Sale

Husband M and I made it to the Church Christmas craft and bake sale as we do most years. We decided to sit in the tea room for sandwiches and coffee. The baked goods looked appealing so we got some cookies to take home. There were many student volunteers getting their hours in, it was nice to see the young people helping out. The weather was sunny and amazing, it was an enjoyable walk too.

Christmas Catalogues

We receive a lot of Christmas shopping catalogues at this time of year, in the mail or as newspaper inserts. I was browsing through this Lee Valley one and thought this rolling pin would be great for the baker that has everything.

Coffee Sample

I received this free fair trade coffee sample in the mail, called 'Ethical Bean'. I quite liked it, not overpowering or especially dark or strong. SampleSource specially selected me for this trial, yay.

Happy December

This is my December calendar page for 2019 to end out the year. Happy December!

Good Deed

I was excited to receive my new 2020 Calendar from Shutterfly customized with some of my art pieces and selected quotes.

As I walked to the mailbox one night I noticed my neighbour's garage door was open although the lights inside the garage were out.  I decided to knock on their front door to make them aware of it.  They thanked me and immediately closed it.  

Paint Party Friday - The Summer House

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! I came up with a Summer House in the mountains for you today.  At this point I have no idea where it would be but it sure makes me feel warm!

my photo

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date! Her theme is 'Grays and Browns'. Here is my piece on cardstock (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") in permanent markers outlined with a PITT pen. It is based on a photo I took of some fall leaves the other day, I just changed the colour scheme to grays and browns.  I think the scanned version is quite close to the photo colours here.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our U.S. friends at home or abroad!
