OUT WITH THE OLD...BRING IT ON 2013

one of my "old" faves

This is an "old" altered book I made with matchbox drawers...

letter charms were sewn into the pages...

very sexy, yes???



And for 2013, I vow to complete some of the many altered book projects that I have started and pushed aside while dealing with everyday life...

BEST WISHES TO ALL FOR A VERY HAPPY, HEALTHY AND

PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!

and if you want to be inspired with "prosperity" incense for your own ritual,

CHEERS!!!

Let It Snow, Man...

YES....

I'm loving it....

I see something in the woods...let me at it...

In the meadow we can build a snowman...

let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Snow For Christmas

Christmas Eve Dinner Table with Friends!

In town after church...candles and lights all around

Yes, they said there'd be snow at Christmas...
they were right!  It was a beautiful sight to wake up on Christmas morn to a nice , light white blanket of new fallen snow !  The beauty of Christmas, when we are all safely at home, with no place to go!!!  YAY!
LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!

In the meadow we can build a snowman...

Fa la la...

Tis the season for snow...and we are ready!!!

Paper snowflake...

LET IT SNOW, MAN!

the snow falls softly, softly to the ground

 My favorite time to walk in the snow is at night time...it is ever so peaceful in the woods at night

when the pure white, icy flakes land on your eyelashes as you look up into the sky to catch them on your tongue.  Oh and the dog...he romps and plays in it for the gift that it is...and he loves to play catch, with snowballs.  We must keep him away from the snowman, however, for obvious reasons.

Peace to all...

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!

Friday Fill-Ins

And here we go....fa la la...

1. Oh my, did you really just say that?
2. Shouldn't we finalize all the dinner plans with the in-laws, sooner, rather than later?
3. Buy one, hell, buy two, they're on sale!
4. Yes, I will organize the craft stash,  positively...after Christmas!
5. Soon, I'm going to have a "ME" day, because I deserve it!
6. Doesn't everybody wish upon shooting stars?
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to a big glass of wine, tomorrow, my plans include shopping and a concert,  and Sunday, I will finish decorating the tree...it's been up for days with nothing but lights...where does the time go?  And where have all the little elves scattered to? 

Handmade Stockings

Look at these lovely handmade wool and felt stockings from Dear Andrea over at Indian Springs.  Her appliqued cardinals are so divine with incredible details.  I just had to have one for a special person who is located in the Pacific Ocean and does not experience the cold, snowy winter months like we do here in the Northeast United States.  I believe she has some more of these beauties for sale...Andrea's Cardinals.  Fa la la...

Woodland Spell Incense Crows

You can even fill up one of those fabulous stockings with the great Woodland Spell Incense from Nina at Happy Herbs Soap @ Two Crow Cottage and some of her wonderful herbal soaps.  My personal fave is the Lavender/Patchouli blend, along with her pulse point roll-on scented oils.  I always feel AB FAB, "ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS" after using one of those...I am a very "scentual" person!  So please visit my friends...you will be happy you did!  Fa la la...and all that jazz!
