I'm just hoping you are all happy and healthy and busy too so you may not have noticed my absence?
Yesterday I had my youngest granddaughter over to do a little holiday baking! It was fun and she was so cute!
Here we had just made our little 'turtles'. Believe it or not, I couldn't find Rolo candies at Walmart so I ended up getting a store brand chocolate covered caramel candy and it worked just great! Fun and easy treat to do with a 7-year old!
I ruined 2 canvases this past weekend :( One, beyond repair due to gel medium, beeswax, etc. so I actually had to cut it off the frame! The other one I can paint over but still.........it's so disheartening to paint and have it all be for nothing. I think that's why sometimes I love the freedom that art journaling gives me. No pressure, no expectations, no worries!
I did manage to try another one and this one turned out ok I think :)
Around her halo is reads: 'His eye is on the sparrow...so I know he watches me'
Anyway, I hope you are all enjoying the getting ready for the holiday! Isn't it nice this time of year? People try so much harder it seems to be a little more kind♥
Before I leave you, I'd like to share with you a video of Nora's message to Santa yesterday. I love it.......and I love her!

Your turtles look delicious! and what a wonderful helper you had! Your granddaughter is darling! This is the time of the year that memories are made of :o) She will always remember baking with Grandma! Love the painting!! She's really sweet!!
Baking! Oh I'm missing that this year. Your granddaughter is cute, cute, cute! I'm sure Snata heard her! Your angel canvas is wonderful. She's so beautiful. Don't dispare about the lost canvases, I think we've all been there. I know I have. It's disappointing to do the work and then realize it's just not working. Glad your angel turned out so nice!
She is the cutest little baker around! Just look at her smile..darling!
Love the angel..she's wonderful. So what if you wasted a canvas and a little paint (and time)..what you DO produce is amazing! You should think of ht percentages of hits and not the misses :-)
Beautiful photos and so much fun baking with your granddaughter. I finished the Christmas baking, with my girls being 15 and 18 I bake alone ... but they help eating all the cookies LOL Waiting for that grandchild to help me baking (but hope they wait a few more years ;-)) I love your angel-painting.
Have a wonderful Christmas !
Hi Darla, she is tooooo cute! What a sweat heart! :0) I love seeing Christmas through the kids eyes it reminds of how magical it felt when I was little!!
I'm sorry I haven't visited for a while with computer problems then the busy lead up to Christmas I'm only now feeling like I'm catching up on things. I think this painting is beautiful!!! And I've just been going through your previous posts, I missed so many I'm sorry. I really like your little snowmen so cute! I've been trying my hand at fimo and it's alot harder than it looks heheheh I'm not a natural either but I do enjoy it! :0) I wish you a very happy christmas with you and your lovely family.
