Making it through the weekend

Well I survived Black Friday shopping! Spent way to much money. 90% done with my Christmas list. Everything is wrapped and under the tree :) Christmas cards were mailed today. All but about 5. and I still need another box I think.

Painted last night. Here is the outcome. It's getting harder to sell them but I'm trying. I

stopped at the local antique store and checked about renting a booth. More than my budget will allow. Also stopped at the coffee shop and asked them about showing my work there.

I have a scrap page I am working on so need to get that done today.

starting to get lonely around here with everyone gone. The boys haven't killed anything else and will be coming home tomorrow. Then back to a regular full work week.

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving. Our Thanksgiving Eve didn't go very well at all so today I was VERY Thankful that each of my loved ones were here with me. We had a wonderful lunch and then the boys packed up for a 4 day hunting trip. That left me alone and lots of time to decorate the house. So I got my tree(s) up. This year I decorated our family tree a little different and did just blue, white and silver. I do love it. I went and hit the Michaels Door Buster sales and bought a 4 1/2 ft entry door tree and decorated it with all the kids home made ornaments. I just couldn't not pull them out this year. I have had them on trees for 19 years now. Got my Jeff Gordon tree up and some lights outside.

Now to just hit some sales tomorrow and get some presents under this tree.

I did some painting too. I got this one finished this morning and I am working on a very BRIGHT abstract right now. Waiting on the paint to dry.

I'm going to have a one day Black Friday sale on my website if your intersted. Just check out Art from the Heart and anything that has not already been sold will be $10.00 off. Can't beat that if your looking for a one of a kind gift for someone this holiday season. Just give me a buzz if you like something. I will even ship it to you if I need too. shipping will be 1/2 off also.

It's pretty quiet around here and only 9 pm. I think I will fix some hot tea and curl up with a book for a while.

Happy Tuesday

Only one more day until my 4 day weekend...woohoo!

I'm glad today is about done. I have to work tomorrow and then off for 4 days. I plan on making my final Christmas list and getting it all knocked out Friday while I do early Black Friday shopping! Love it. It is always so much fun. Just have a few people left of my list and then I can start wrapping and getting the tree up. I may do the tree on Thursday. We will see.

Working on a painting right now. I did two more the other day. You can view any of them at my website Art from the Heart. Several are for sale and would make GREAT christmas gifts dontcha think! I'll even ship them!

alrighty...short but sweet...gotta go work on another painting!
