Christmas Ornaments For My Mother

I can not believe Christmas is right around the

corner

Again...

This year has passed so quickly...

seems like school just started for my son

and here it is almost winter break

Talking about Christmas before

Thanksgiving seems kind of pushing it

for many of you I know...

Oh well...I don't care

I need Christmas this year.

Not the gift giving...

That I could really do without

But the gathering in...

Bringing family and friends close.

In my mind I see us all being gently held  in

beautiful soft angel wings.

That is my goal this season

To keep my heart and mind open

Making sure those I hold dear know

I love them and cherish them

Not just now in this moment.

But always.

This has been an interesting year

of changes for my family.

My mother who is 77 fell early in the

year hurting her knee.

It has kept her off her feet most

of this year.  My dad who is 80 has

had to pick up much of mom's household

chores..My sister and I help too

and do some cooking for them.

Now with the holiday's approaching

we find ourselves at a new spot.

How do we do Thanksgiving and Christmas?

My Mother has always been the Holidays.

Lol...Does that make no sense?

My parents home is where the whole family

gathers on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

All of us from 5 families.

And any friends who need family too.

So this year is a change.

I find myself looking forward to it.

Part of my folks projects this last fall

has been cleaning out.

They have been going thru their garage

and finding treasures to pass on to my sister and I

Mom has also been cleaning out her baking supplies

When she gave me some vintage tart tins

it got me to thinking.

And...These are what

I came up with

These are the larger

tart tins

I painted them with Martha Stewart Paints

(Sorry Martha but I do not like your paints)

added lots of glitter

Used some of my stash of small mercury

glass garland balls..

I made a collage sheet of the images

that I wanted to use.

(You can find

that in a previous post for free)

Mom loves the Frances Brundage children

and this whole set of ornaments  is for her.  I

Used vintage chandelier crystals on a couple

and rhinestones..

some of the fantastic

ribbon that Jill and I sell in our Junking Gypsies store.

I love the way they turned out.

Mom does too..She made laugh

Yesterday we pulled out her books of vintage wallpapers

(You see I come by very naturally)

She is going to make pretty fans to go with them

on her tree.

Sorry this is so long...

I think it is time to finish this and get

to my Saturday chores

So I can play in my studio later

Happy Saturday to you all!!

Good Thursday Morning to you all

Been a bit busy here...Just finished up

my first batch of tart tin ornaments

and wanted to share with you

the sheet I made up.

Later today I will add

a picture of the ornaments

My mom loves the old Victorian

Christmas images

so I made these with her in mind

(since the ornaments are for her tree)

Here you go.

these for your personal use only

Vintage Clip Art Free The Letter A Marie Antonette Fichue Godey's 1864

I have some new images for you

from The Godey's Lady's Book

from 1864

This last week I have at

last delved into the Photo shop program

and have had fun coloring images

So much to learn

like...remember to double save your

original images.

I did not..so I do not have an un-color

images to offer you on the

sweet girl with the hair net.

Also...learning the correct size to save

so we can use it.

I love it tho.  I thought it would

be difficult to learn but what you

need is lots of time...Pretty hard

to eek out most days..but so

worth it.

Enjoy!!

Girls Night And Inchie Houses With Friends

This morning as I had my coffee

I had a chance to catch up on

my blog reading.

Wendy at Bliss Angels

had a great post about

Inchie Houses

(can you hear me giggling)

Little tiny houses

Oh My

Right up my alley.

I made about 6 in 20 Min. and

was hooked.

Soooo...

I decided to take them to

Girls Night

Girls night at Kay's

has become a fun mid week

break.

Her hubby plays pool

and if mine is in town

(He travels a lot)

we do girls night

This is the first time we have

crafted.

I realized more supplies need

to go in the travel basket

Kay did not even have string

lol..Home of a non crafter

The template for these cute inchies

came from http://harmonyroadstudio.blogspot.com/

I used some pretty Christmas paper

and printed the template on the other side

I wish I had caught a picture of

Tracy's before she took off

she cut out people and flowers

Very cool.

Kay and Tracy were very nice and let

me take their pictures as they made their

little houses.

This is one project I am going to be playing with more

it is so fun...and has so many possibilities

First a set for my Christmas tree..then maybe

a few for my mom and sister...

Thanks Wendy...I too am now hooked on

these great little houses.
