charmed

This is a collage made using the wrapping paper and gift enclosure that came with my charm necklace from Rebecca. Oh, I added a little music butterfly and charm of my own.

Today, for you, happy birthday, Rebecca!

Cheers,

Susan

happy winds

While you were sleeping, I made this birthday wish for you, my darling daughter, travelling solo in Thailand.

Happy winds go with you!

elves

This is the time of year that elves are out and about.

According to family lore, if you're seen being good you might find something in your stocking early!

(is that a jingle from my stocking I hear?)

Birdhouse 2

Oops! I've been busy, and have forgotten to post!

OK: here's another birdhouse ("someone" is getting a lot of them for Christmas!)

I've discovered I love gourds. I like to sit them around and look at them until they "tell" me what they are. This one was given to be by my friend Rebecca, who says I am becoming a "gourd head".

Guess it's true!

Cheers,

Susan

birdhouse

This gourd was a mother's day gift ages ago, from Jay, who tied a bamboo cork on the top, making it a water bottle. I've painted and revived it as a birdhouse (with a ceramic egg on the top for fertility!)

cheers

Susan

Finnster

Finnster has been the perfect guest (oh, if you don't count demolishing 4 beds and 3 collars!)...

really!

We'll miss you, buddy, but Gracie will, most of all.

Cheers,

Susan
