I hope your Christmas is filled with blessings. I have an award to share from some very special artists that I follow. The one I received is from Chris!

The rules are to give it to five others, who shall give it to five others.Link the one you got it from, and also the ones you give it to - then let them know.And there is more... You have to write down five things you are addicted to.I award this to....


The five things I'm addicted to :_
1. Mocha Coffee ... starts my day!
2. Challenges ... keep me grounded to creating art daily
3. Trying to keep organized ... keeps me sane (remember I said trying)
4. Buying art supplies ... warms my heart
5. Being on time ... and I really dislike when others are late....lol.

CREATED BY HAND - PATTERNED PAPER

This is a bonus!! The theme for Created by Hand is Patterned Paper. The patterned papers (and collage image) I have used here are part of the freebies from Lisa Vollrath's Holiday Countdown

MAKE IT MONDAY AND MIXED MEDIA MONDAY


Lisa Vollrath's Holiday Countdown included mini card kit freebies with instructions. I took the opportunity of printing them out and creating these two "Winter" cards. The countdown will be over at Christmas so you may want to go over and take advantage of the beautiful downloads. Merry Christmas!
