Hello All!
Happy Holidays Everyone!
It is now mid December and we are in full holiday spirit!
I have been stuck in bed with a flu,
and I am dreaming up all kinds of things to make!
Soon, I will be up again and at it.
Last week I was able to begin some Christmas fun in my art room,
I started with jewelry and ended up with some tags.
Here are three different styles for some of my family.
Mary in silver and cream.
I really do enjoy the stitching!
I am not sure if my sewing machine agrees though! Lol!
Paper and layers of all kinds of things!
I have a passion for glitter,
but try (I did say try) not to go overboard...
Here is a festive holiday tag, with a familiar angel image.
I like to use bits of old things...
Like the lovely blue bit of paper here is from a hundred year old paper book.
Mixing old with new...
A softer, more romantic angel tag...
I used a tissue paper transfer of a really old French receipt for the background...
and bits of an old vintage table cloth....
And I tucked in a little piece of that old pale blue paper here too.
I love the mix of fine glitter and round dots of glitter.
It really does help me get into the holiday mood to work on these for loved ones.
My shopping is just about done, only a couple last minute items,
most of ours gifts are home made.
(ooops! See the nail in the wall??? I forgot I moved a picture to be fixed!)
Here is the new organizer I just finished last week.
It was so much fun!
I really recommend it as a gift for an artsy friend.
My husband gave it to me last year,
(bought at Archiver's)
and I just couldn't let this Christmas come and go without it being created.
(I will share close up pics in next post)
You can see the corner of my newly covered couch, and I promise I am really going to share a full image!
I had a crazy idea to repaint my room and I was waiting to show it off with the new color...
we will see : )

Creating lovely items is a great way to get over being ill. Your tags are pure divine glory. All the details and bits of beauty really make them special. Holiday Bliss Dear...
Terri, you are so talented. I almost had tears in my eyes when I was looking at those beautiful tags you made. You do have the magic touch! Hope you get over your flu soon. I'm having trouble getting over mine. But, it's slowly going away. I guess it has to take the time that it has to take! That's what I keep telling myself. Take care!

Terri,
Your tags are beautiful!!! I love that you missed the nail on the wall in that last photo! I do stuff like that ALL the time! LOL! Would love to win a goodie from you!! Cheers! Becky
Hello dear Terri, I am so sorry to hear you have the flu! I hope you will feel better soon and be well in time for Christmas! I love the gorgeous Christmas tags you made, especially the Let it Snow, little girl angel. You are very creative and talented! Your dear ones will love these. The organizer you altered is beautiful. I love the entire vignette as well as your white slipcover! Your giveaway is fabulous and so generous! Thank you for visiting me and for your very kind words. I was sorry to hear about your brother! That is so sad! I am 43, and did not have any cardiac care until I went to a cardiologist on my own when I was 17. I had my first open heart surgery when I was 22 and my second one, last year when I was 42. I am so blessed to be here and thank the Lord for keeping me going all of these years! I am thankful for the Mayo Clinic and the incredible team that cares for me too.
How wonderful you had vintage poodles in your home when you were a little girl, and a poodle too! I love her name. I had one too, her name was FiFi, then I had two more poodles, Pepe and Pixie and now I have my sweet poodle Pearl. I always have to have a poodle, they are so sweet and pretty! :D I know you could crochet a rose! Merry Christmas! Hugs, Paula xoxo
Terri, your tags are just gorgeous! I'm so sorry you've been sick, yet still upbeat about Christmas! You're a champ! :)
As you probably know I share your taste for glitter and sparkle and really enjoyed seeing it on those gorgeous tags. What a treat for the recipients! Hope you!ll recover soon! Hugs

Firstly, dear Terri, I wish you to wellness ASAP! And now to say of course I would love to win that domino book or the bracelet, or whichever, but I am already enrolled in your class, so pass on that one for moi. I cannot tell you how inspiring you are to me. I love the angel tags. So pretty, and the one hundred year old robin's egg bleu piece of paper is exquisite! Your little organized cupboard is beautiful! Beauty is what it's all about!
Hugs and more hugs, Christine.
Those drawers are fabulous, I love the colour you choose and the tags are beautiful.
I am blown away by your creations. One is prettier than the next. The tags are incredible. I wish I could create things that lovely.
Of course,I would love to win any of the beauties. I hope you feel better soon and enjoy the holidays.
Your tags are so gorgeous Terri-such fine details! I don't know how you're able to capture the sparkle and glitter so well-I can't seem to do it. Hope you're completely well very soon. Take care.
Sorry you've been sick with a bug, Terri. I haven't been feeling well either the past two days. Take care and feel better soon, my friend.
Your tags are just gorgeous! I can tell you had fun working on them. Love lots of sparkle! Enjoy your weekend.
Christmas blessings,
Sandi

What a very inconvenient time for the flu! I can just imagine you itching to get up and do your Christmas projects. The ags are gorgeous and so is that little organizer!

Caroline
Terri, I am always amazed at your attention to detail and the lovely themes you pick for your creations. You are a calming influence in my world. Thank you, once again, for offering incredible giveaways. A domino book made by you would be pure heaven, or tea in a wintery rose cup....but too late for me on the domino book video as I am signed up and enjoying every minute of having you as a teacher. Great job as usual.
Fondly, Verna
this looks all just like magic...I love all of... If I would have to make a choic it would be the little book with the brush X mas tree, it is soo beautiful!
And we heard of course the terrible news of the shooting in the school, so terrible, our thoughts are with the parents and family. There is nothing to say...
Hope you're feeling much better soon--it's no fun to be sick...love your beautiful tags!
