Catching Up...

Here are some of the things I've been working on the last couple months...since I went back to work full-time it isn't much. But I try and do some kind of art every day (even if it ends up in the trash...)

Drew this as a gift for Christmas - the original can be found here.

This was also a Christmas gift - just redrew, resized the fairy bookmarks into one piece.

 Just for fun...

Christmas Cards this year...by me and my littles.

  

Made this for my classroom to learn about the number 9 - maybe I'll have to turn the story into a book!

There are a few unfinished projects that are waiting to become finished...but we'll see when that happens.

Day 13, 14, and 15 of the December Photo Challenge

Well, it looks like being caught up on my art blog didn't last too long. But hey! It's December, which is family time! And my little niece was born this week so I was cuddling sweet babies, and visiting with family instead of downloading pictures. But I did manage to take the pictures - that's not the time consuming part...So, bonus! You get a 3 for 1 day!

Day 13 Theme: Star

We got a new star for our tree this year, as our old one wasn't working anymore! We had this great metal one that could light up if you plugged it in...but the cord was too short to reach to the outlets, and the prongs were a weird size so as not to fit into any of the light strings we had...so it never got lit up!

Day 14 Theme: Recipe

A fitting theme since we had just made sugar cookies with my family the night before. This translates to my mom and I making cookies and trying to keep them away from my dad, brother, husband, and son long enough to fill up the cookie plate!

And the theme for Day 15 (today) was shopping!

I did go grocery shopping today...but I don't usually lug my camera around Costco (especially, since it was bought there, and that'd be awkward). So I took a picture of all our wrapped gifts so far - which represents all the shopping we've been doing the last few weeks!

Day 3 of the December Photo Challenge

The theme today was home decor.

These little houses are supposed to have candles inside, but the little tea lights are all too big to fit in the back...silly, right? So instead I tried to put the Christmas lights around them to brighten up the...wait for it...decor!

Christmas Presents

Last Christmas (I know, almost a year ago! I'm bad at posting!) I made art as Christmas gifts for some family members! It was a lot of fun trying to think of what each personality might want to display in their house.

 

 

More Winter-Fun Swaps

 For this swap the goal was to create Christmas gnomes. It was a fun challenge for me!

 For this snowman swap we just had to create cards that featured snowmen. I drew with white glue on black cardstock and let it dry over night. Then I colored with colored pencil. They turned out very fun and whimsical!
