Quote of the Week

December is nearly here and in an effort to get on Santa's nice list the kids have been super helpful. Which works out to my advantage, so I don't mind at all.
We'll be coming up with a list of good deeds that are easy for the under-10 set, so look for that later in the week.
Have a good Monday, and be sweet!

Black Friday Photo

Hey there!

I don't know about you, but I am avoiding all retail establishments for the next 4 days. Instead, I have been working on presents and walking through the woods at the end of our street.

I am planning a handmade holiday and I have been working on tutorials so that you can have one too. Tune in next week for the Handmade Gift Parade! It will include tutorials by me, plus links to some of my favorite tutorials by other crafty people.

Have a great weekend.

Trees

I dug through my photo archives and discovered that I photograph trees A LOT. In every season. Here's a sampling of some from the past few years.

If you want some good reading this weekend, I recommend "Red Sings From Treetops: A Year in Colors" by Joyce Sidman and Illustrated by Pamela Zagarenski. Yes, it's a children's book. It's beautiful; full of textures and colors and yes, trees too.

And there's a tree-themed craft over at The Pagan Village this weekend, penned by me.
