I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving weekend. I am starting to decorate around the house for the holidays and having fun taking pics. I finally have an Iphone! I was living in the stone ages for quite some time. Anyhow, I am very excited to set up an Instagram account. Stop by time to time to see what I am photographing and hope you find some inspirations.

The photo I took above is a recent purchase from Tinsel Trading. They carry a line of Wendy Addison products for the holidays.  I am a big fan of her art and the materials she uses. It feels so magical and dreamy. 

Happy Thanksgiving

As a mom to young kids, it makes me so happy when they would create something and give it to me as a gift...from paper cuttings to drawings. It made me realize it has been a long time since I made or painted something for my mom. So for her 70th birthday which was yesterday, one of the gifts I had for her was this painting I did with flowers in her favorite colors and of course in a heart shape to express my love.

The painting was done in various acrylic paints I had from Liquitex to Martha Stewarts craft paints. The material I painted on is actually primed canvas sheets that you can purchase a pad of them in various sizes at the art store. What's great about painting on this canvas sheet, it's easy to roll up and mail.

I can't seem to help it but I love to share new childrens' books that I have discovered. There is so much variety of talented artist and wonderful stories. How cute are those patterned strawberries?! Discover the world of Bloomsberry. Here are a few that I keep turning the pages:

1) Virginia Wolf,  2) Pomelo,  3) I Can Do It Myself,  4) Now I Am Big

Hello Everyone...It's been a while since I have posted. I hope to get back to the swing of things with my blog. Hope you are all well.
