Finger Puppets

I made finger puppets as a gift for two great kids I know.
They are very fun and easy to make!

I was inspired by an artist on Etsy: Abbey Christine.
She makes wonderful puppets of unique movie and TV characters.
Someday I would love her Bob Ross finger puppet. (see here)

A Giveaway & A Smile

Don't these knees make you smile?
They belong to my grandma. She is now 85 but was 3ish in the photo.

This is my latest GIVEAWAY!
I created this Christmas collage in 2006. It is time to share it!
(size: 8 x 10 inches on masonite board)

If you would like a chance to win, simply leave me a comment.
I will leave the Giveaway open until Sunday evening.
Monday morning, the 20th, I will announce the winner.

Oh, and in the original photo of my grandma she is holding a tomato.
For this collage, I tinted it orange.
My gram was once a wee girl on a farm in Arkansas.
For Christmas, she would get an orange.

Smiling!

I just like to smile. Smiling is my favorite.

This morning I saw a post by artist, Juliette Crane.
She shared a medley of photos that made her smile.
I smiled, too.

For the past week, this piglet has made me smile!
He is on my desktop...my cellphone...on Facebook.
I love him. I can't help but smile.

My dear friend reminds me to keep smiling.

I do. I will.
SMILE!

Love & Faith

Strong faith brings happiness.

We feel at home in our lives and in touch with something larger.

Show Me the Way...

Take me into your hands

Make me into your prayer

Take me away to the land of Christmas

And dismiss my fear

Show me the way
