HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Petite Pointsettia on Point

.

My two year old potted pointsettia has morphed from a show-offy floozie to a prim ballerina.  I have fed her nothing but health food, no fat, which is probably why. Both her incarnations have been lovely, but another reduction in size next year will qualify her for a part in an opera with a very sad ending.

Santa's Baby

My Fickle Santa can't keep his hands off the Mantle Mermaid this year.  Every Christmas he has a new love. Go, Santa!!!

Treed & True! Top and Some of The Gang...

Mr. and Mrs. Noah Neptune have put all the animals to bed and are waiting for Santa who is trying to get the Way-Too-Big elephant to board the Ark.  What will happen next?

Christmas Card 2013..

"and it came to pass...

"…for one star differeth from another star in glory" Corrinthians 15:40:42

 The starlight the Wise Men saw is compared to the light from the satellite that has 'come to pass' in our time.  How wise are we now?

A Lotta Trees!

I took a lesson from Jean Seley and turned this painting into a card.  I like it!  Have always liked cards, but the practice of sending them seems to have fallen away.  After all these years I'm finally "an old fashioned girl".
