Paint Party Friday

Just a few more ACEOs...

Happy Paint Party Friday!

I hope everyone is healthy and happy this holiday season.

I don't have any holiday-related art to post

(too busy to create anything :)

but I have done some more ACEOs recently.

I've been reading about Elizabeth I, so I must have royalty on my mind.

My princess doesn't have red hair like Elizabeth,

and, unlike Elizabeth, she thinks being a princess is very tiresome.

So many duties, and not enough fun!

It's not easy, you know.

The second ACEO is a re-creation of another piece I did a while ago.

This one:

I haven't decided whether I enjoy recreating a painting...

I think I have too many new ideas fighting to be put on paper.

My thought was to redo something to make it better than the original.

But I like the first one more, oh well.

I'm wishing a wonderful 

Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwaanza, Yule, 

or any and everything you celebrate to everyone!

And an inspiring, healthy, and creative 2012!

Oh, and can't forget,

Happy Paint Party Friday!

IA Weekly Art Challenge

Festive!

I think the image of the Christmas tree conjures up holiday festivity 

for me almost better than anything else. And snowflakes. And angels.

And best of all, sparkly lights.

So this digital image of our tree (probably the last year we had a real one)

and one of my angel ornaments is my contribution to 

Inspiration Avenue's Festive challenge.

 My own topic for the week, I might add. And I also might add,

another topic that I had a hard time with, geez.

As always, visit Inspiration Avenue Sunday afternoon

to see the gallery of festive entries!

Happy Week Before Christmas!

IA Weekly Challenge and some holiday treasuries

Peace on Earth

Shelly of Pics by Shel asks a question

for the challenge this week at Inspiration Avenue.

The question is

What is in your Christmas Ball?

I put a wish in mine . . . the hope for peace on earth.

Another hope ~ that everyone is enjoying the holiday season

no matter what you celebrate! 

Visit Inspiration Avenue on Sunday afternoon to see

the gallery of bright Christmas balls.

It's sure to be festive!

I'm taking a slight blogging break while I visit family

for Christmas. I'll be back December 28 or soon thereafter!

I hope all of you have a splendid holiday

no matter what, when, or where you celebrate!

I feel bad I've not visited my blogging friends much lately

but I have been rushed right off my feet 

in the last few weeks.

I'm looking forward to having more time soon!

I'll leave you with some old Christmas pictures.

I love old pictures!

 My grandmother at the top, whom I lost when I was nine.

Yep, that's a Chatty Cathy doll in the second pic.

My brother saying 'how's my hair. I hate it when

they make me wear this hat'.

Third pic - a cowgirl outfit was the hot ticket that year. 

Bottom pic - my Nana, 

and Dave of the whiskey bottle fame.

Happy Holidays!
