hello old age.....

ok.....last christmas i was officially the grinch!

my only decoration was a six inch metal tree on the mantel.

after being the ultimate couch potato today...

as i watched all the hgtv christmas specials...

i was inspired enough to pull out some of my decorations

and start transforming the house into a winter wonderland.

the good news is....i've dusted places in my house that

haven't seen a dust rag in a while...the bad news...

it looks like a bomb went off at the north pole in here...

good grief.......there's STUFF every where...

and i've run out of steam.........

LOL....hello old age!

it's turkey day......

i hope each and everyone one of you have

a safe and happy thanksgiving....

bring on the turkey!

three muses #78 - shoes challenge

the theme for the challenge at the three muses this week is shoes....this piece started as "the old
woman in the shoe" kinda thing but somehow
morphed into....well...this!

(the moon, arms, and bird feet images are clipped from old magazines; all other images are my creations and images)

...a pain in my heart

twenty five years today...

you didn't make your 8 seconds cowboy

that ole winged horse threw ya....

one last time....

no brushing yourself off...

grinning that grin...

no coming home again....

i miss you...my space cowboy

sending hugs and kisses on the wind......

sometimes.........

i'm there..........

thank you.......

THANK YOU.........

sigh..........

wow.....it's really getting hard to take pictures inside since it gets

dark so early....these sheets are actually WHITE and red...but i

do kinda like this color combo!darkness falling early heralds the time to bring out the flannel sheets!

sigh.........

i love flannel......

and fall...

and wrapping up in a blanket on the porch...

under a kzillion stars...

on a crisp night....

just letting the worries of the day...

melt away...

ummmmm...

finally feels like fall....

in her footsteps.....

my youngest daughter just graduated from cosmetology school

....52 years after her grandmother.

i'm making her a shadow box with my mothers diploma...

a transparency of my mother over the diploma...

her scissors...comb... a couple of clips

that she used when she was a beautician.

i think she would have liked that her granddaughter

is following in her footsteps....
