Weekend Happenings....

Hello Again! How was your weekend??

My weekend was spent painting! Yup! Painting! On canvas even! And since I don't like the texture of canvas...I collaged over the entire canvas with vintage dictionary paper...and then sketched out a simular image from my recent art journal onto the canvas and painted it in acrylics...I also used colored pencils and water soluable wax pastels!! So that was Saturday!!! "A Gift For Santa".

and then I took pictures around the house! Our Christmas Tree! Decorated in both vintage glass balls, and other vintage baubles, ornaments that both my girls and I made and our really lame gold tinsel lol but I love it! I have strings of pretty red beads but opted for the tinsel this year! Maybe next year and maybe some different ornaments...maybe not! We seem to be pretty partial to these homemade ornaments and the vintage ones that were once adorning the Christmas tree when I was just a little girl! I was so excited when my parents sent them to me to share with my little family!

And then on Sunday afternoon Peanut butter cookies were being made! Yum!

While cookies were in the oven...I was doing this... Another canvas piece! Good ol Elmers Glue..It works LOL Can't afford the Goldens products right now..so it will have to do! :o) I started sketching out an idea I had in my head...

And then we had this and my sweet Hub stopped by my desk to take a peek at what I was doing and said two simple words..."Silent Night" Yes! I said! That is perfect! What a guy!!

I have been taking most of my art photos in my kitchen in front of my microwave! lol Perfect lighting! hee hee!

One weekend two art pieces and 4 dozen peanut butter cookies!!! I'd say it's been a pretty good weekend!!

Go ahead have yourself a cookie! Have 2 there's plenty more! Oops! One more photo to share...

A little blurry but none the less cute as can be! This is my "Christmas Annie"! Pssst! I made her! I used to make prim dollies quite a bit..in fact right before I discovered art journaling!

Whew! I'm tired that was one long weekend and one longgggggggg post! Think I will call it a night and go veg in front of the ol boob tube! Until next time!!

Much Love and Hugs! Merry Christmas Ya'll!!!!

Thanks for the cookies! I love peanut butter anything! We have lots of vintage ornaments on our tree, too. I love them the best.

Your paintings are so sweet. I love the one of Santa getting a gift! And that's an interesting idea of covering the canvas.
