Our family loved the music at Christmas.

My sister and I could not come into the living room until we heard "Bing Crosby" singing!!!!!

So this is just to "jog" a memory or two!!!!

It' beginning to look a lot like Christmas.......!

I am back with my Christmas memory!

The Littlest Angel, 1946

Original book of mine (see the worn binding)

My parents would read this to me over and over.

They have a new version out which I bought a few years ago, very pretty, but not as pretty as my original!

A very tiny bit of crosshatch by P S. I think it added a bit of a hollywood glow to her!

This photo is perfection. I always thought she was so beautiful and admire her film work.

Be sure and click to see the slight difference!!!

Color challenge!

I bought a set of these art dolls to use for centerpieces for our art society.

This is one of 5 designs.

It was like playing "project runway" (kinda)!

The heart stamp has been a favorite of mine for so long. One of the first stamps I ever bought (198?)

Santa is from Paula's Kit Club!

I always enjoy taking a page from a magazine and then adding cutout images to tell a story!

All images are from paperwhimsy. I did this cut and paste 3 years ago and I just held on to it! So when the challenge of fun and games came up, I thought I'd show you

"Wanna play hopscotch?"

http://thethreemuseschallenge.blogspot.com/2009/12/three-muses-challenge-27-fun-and-games.html

These are for an exchange! I chose the the colors"grunge Marie".

Dusty rose, silver and black.

The pink toile paper is wallpaper my mother in law had in her entry. She love toiles and this paper was handmade! Fortunately she saved the extra paper! The tag ornaments are paperwhimsy girls that I thought might be a young "marie"! I used tim holtz acrylic tags and used golden matte medium to paste image under tag(no muss, no fuss)! the backs of the slippers are all the french toile wallpaper.

I am thinking that fairy slippers might make fun gifts for the holidays!!!

Watch out JIMMY CHOO!!!!

He is made of soap suds material. I did have to replace the brim of his felt hat, every thing else is original 1940.

Washi paper bowl!

Layers of washi paper layered on a wooden bowl and then removed from bowl . Using the technique you can make a paper bowl out of any papers you wish. The papers must be toner and not inkjet, so the inks don't bleed. Seal finished bowl with acrylic varnish of your choice. (I like Delta semi-gloss)
