A Bit of Victoriana for Christmas


Hello All, I have been behind in my posts and creations lately. My Christmas gifts are coming along and I will post soon! I have been writing away each day as a participant of National Novel Writing month and I am just over 30,000 words since November 1st! Half way to the 50,000 word goal before November 28th. Such fun!

Here is a little ornament (Oh no!....blue again!) I whipped up this morning. The sun peeked out for 30 seconds today, so this is a dim view. She really is quite sparkly. I was inspired by Nancy Maxell James. If you visit her site you can see her gorgeous star ornaments. Both her and I used Paperwhimsy images, and the tinsel on my star is also from there. Thank you Nancy for sharing your creativity!

This time of year with Thanksgiving just around the corner, I begin to become more conscious of all my blessings. I am thankful for my Dear Husband, my cherished Children, our lovely home, the sweet friend here and online. I am grateful for the connection I feel expressing myself with art. I am thankful for you!
