Today is cold and icy here! I think I could have really slept late today if I didn't have to work! The kids are home from school and we are supposed to have two more days of bad weather. Last week I listed a neat vintage ice bucket on ebay. I am working hard to get the last of my special orders finished now......I can almost see the end!hee hee I am hoping to be finished in a day or two so I can bake some Christmas cookies and finish my shopping!

Here is a picture of my ice bucket.....I am not sure if I will be listing anything else on ebay this year, I just don't think I will have time. I am thinking about doing some more Christmas stuff right after Christmas. I don't know how that will go over but I have some new designs I am dying to do but I just ran out of time.

Try to stay warm today and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Chris

November passed me by!

Wow, I don't know where the month of November went! I have been crazy busy around here with all the holiday happenings! Of course we had deer season....which is my time to get the Christmas decorations out. Then Thanksgiving, which was awesome. Nothing is better than a Thanksgiving feast! I guess it is a good thing we don't do that more than once a year!

I know the month of December is going to fly by too. I am working on tons of special orders I have right now. I am going to be in my working chair a lot in the next couple weeks!

I listed a new item on ebay tonight.....it turned out so cute. It is an old gas can. Of course Erica wanted to keep it!hee hee

This is one of my special items that I have been working on for what seems like forever! It is a custom design of their home. It turned out really nice but my picture isn't very good, there is a little bit of a glare.

These are a couple of my ebay items that have already come and gone before I had a chance to get in here and post an update! I did say I was busy didn't I?hee hee

Well, I will try harder to get back with at least a note before December gets away from me! I have some holiday pictures to share too but that will have to wait for another day....I have to sleep! Have a great day! Chris

My newest ebay listings!

Well, I finally got something finished for ebay! I think they turned out quite nice. I have never done a cow bell with a Christmas theme, but I think this one turned out really nice. The wall pocket is like the one I made as a prize in one of my groups and I liked it so much I decided to list one! I hope you will check them out on ebay, you can use the link to the left! Have a wonderful day everyone!

Halloween happenings and Adam's first deer!

Halloween was quite busy around here! Of course Adam didn't want to dress up this year....he thinks he is too big. I tell him, heck, I am not too big, I love to dress up!hee hee. We had a party at our church, school party, a party for the kids I watch, and Erica had friends over for scary movies! Wow, I am worn out now from all the cooking, cleaning and running around! Here are some pictures of Adam at our church party being his normal silly self!

The day after halloween was the youth hunt here in Missouri so Mike took Adam for his first time. He was very lucky to have gotten what he thought was a doe but turned out to be a button buck! He was so excited.....he spent the rest of the day calling everyone he knows to tell them. I was listening to some of his conversations....it was so funny, I heard him say "yes, I was shaking like a wet dog!". I just laughed, he comes up with the funniest things.

He didn't want the deer to be the only one with its tongue out so he had to join in and keep his tongue out for the picture too!

Where have I been????

Well, to say the least it has been quite crazy around here, which is pretty normal for me! I did list some new things on ebay and of course they have ended.........I will post them anyway, I think they turned out real cute!

I also did a prize for my PLOA group....I just fell in love with this so be watching for one to pop up on ebay pretty soon!

My latest creation!

Well, my little burst of painting energy was short lived as I had to get some things finished up around the house this last week. Adam's cabin bed went out since he has grown like a bad weed over the last year and we got him a "real" bed. He is so excited as we are trying to move him out of the living room and back into his room. You just can't imagine how much stuff one little boy has! We finally got the pool closed, which is way over due(and a huge chore that no one likes) and we had another family picture taken this weekend as a gift for my husbands parents! The whole clothes and shopping issue is enough to wear anyone out!hee hee

I was able to list one item on ebay. I ran across these battery opperated candles that I couldn't resist. I have some in different sizes and can't wait to do some more! This one I have on ebay right now and I have the matching one to it almost finished! I am hoping to get it finished tonight, I will be doing some painting anyway......I have an order that I have to get finished! I am such the procrastinator. How do I make myself quit doing that????

At least this is our last week of softball so I won't be running around almost every night! I love softball season but it does get a little hectic! I am wishful thinking that I will be able to paint more!

I am on a roll now!

Well, I thought I would give you a sneak peek at what I am going to list on Ebay tomorrow! I am finally getting back in the groove of painting again! I think it is the season......I love to paint fall and Christmas things!

Please be sure to contact me, use the button on the left, if you would like to be on my mailing list. I am trying to rebuild my list from the lightening, and I know there are people that were on there that I no longer have email addresses for. I don't send out too many emails, maybe one a week! I try to get a few things listed before I send something out. I do answer all my emails also, so don't hesitate to contact me with any comments or suggestions! I love you hear from you! Chris
