On the 8th day of Christmas...

"On the eigth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me....eight maids a milking!"

On the 9th day of Christmas...

"On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...nine ladies dancing!"

On the 10th day of Christmas...

"On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me....ten lords a leaping!"

On the 11th day of Christmas...

"On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...Eleven Pipers Piping!"

On the 12th day of Christmas...

Today makes it twelve days until Christmas, and I said I was going to try and make a post each day to do with Christmas. So, to stay in tune with the song (On the twelfth day of Christmas....Twelve drummers drumming), I've decided to post this picture of some crazy creatures I made out of leftover scrap paper that I couldn't bring myself to throw away. :) It looks sort of like they would be drummers, since their hands are so oddly shaped.

"On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me....Twelve Drummers Drumming!"

Brrrrrr!

After a day or so of nice, warm, spring like weather, the temperatures have begun to drop once again. So, I decided to post this picture, since it looks cold to me, and it's getting cold outside once again as well. I'm planning to start working on some projects to go with the 12 days of christmas, since it will be 12 days until Christmas tomorrow. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but hopefully I'll find something fun to blog about each day for it. :)

Harry Potter 5 comes out today!

Yay! If you're a Harry Potter fan, then you're just as excited as me, since the fifth Harry Potter movie (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) comes out today! I loved it in the theatre, but now I'll have a pause and rewind button, so I won't miss anything! :D

Be sure to hurry and get your copy, or buy it for a Christmas present for the Harry Potter lovers in your family!

I finally got it!

I finally got my Mary Engelbreit winning prize pack, and look at what was inside! :D

If you can't tell, that's cherry smelling soap in the reindeer box. :)

It's a snowball fight!

This is the last sketch in my favorite sketch book, and it's one I really love. It's a snowball fight! :) It hasn't snowed yet (at least not enough to stick to the ground) but wherever these girls are, it seems to have snowed enough to make a fortress of snowballs! :D Hopefully we won't have quite that much snow, as it would be difficult and dangerous to drive to work in, but maybe we'll have a little bit of snow soon. :)

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Yay! It's snowing! The first snow of the season! How wonderful! :D I already decided that the first day it snowed I would post a snowy picture, so here it is. :) Sorry if I've already posted it. It's one I've had for awhile and I'm starting to forget which ones I've added and which ones I haven't! :S

Happy Holidays

Just wanted to say Happy Holidays to everyone. I can't believe it's almost Christmas! I've got lots and lots of shopping left to do....

100th Post!

Wow, 100 posts already! :D Time to celebrate! I may have already posted this picture, but it seems so fitting to this occasion that I'm going to post it again.

Frames

I've been buying pictures frames and painting them to coordinate with my paintings, and here are a few I've done so far. I've been thinking about doing some of these as Christmas presents, but I haven't decided yet. My favorite pick of these is the mouse. I originally had just a blue frame, but it didn't look right. The dots on the frame really made it 'pop' to me.
