Creative time...

...is hard to come by this month.

Here's all the further I got on this before production screeched to a halt.


oh, i fit in a doodle here and there while I'm printing out the days orders.
I've made a few gifts, but they were more crafty than arty.

I'm really looking forward to spending some nice quality time with my family and then after that some nice quality time with my paints and brushes. I should head on over to Dick Blick and place an order right now so that I have everything I need when that time finally comes.
I want to get back to the "Pretty FAces" series and the "Simple Folks".
And I have a new "She Believed" girl that's wanting to speak her mind.

Here's an average joe who showed up on a random piece of paper.
He looks a bit confused. But charming. :)

I got soooo close to finishing my shopping yesterday that I could almost taste it. (it tasted like sugar cookies ;) )
Now I'm without a car today so Mike may be the one checking the last two items off of the list.
He's going to try and finish up after work so that we have tomorrow to head to the grocery store and get all of the supplies for Christmas Eve dinner.

I had planned to leave you with a few pictures of our tree now that it's decorated, but the camera cord seems to be MIA. :(
Sooo, that's not happening.
Now, I must get wrapping.
Have fun tying up all of the loose ends. :)
