It’s Christmas Eve!

We're having fun here in sunny Arizona…listening to the soundtrack from Elf, making raspberry cheesecake & coconut cream pie (my faves!), and other holiday preparations. Tonight's dinner is Panko Shrimp, asparagus, & baked 'taters. Tomorrow we're having fennel & coriander glazed ham, potato gratin, veggies,  homemade rolls…yum. So…lots of cooking ahead, but I don't mind. It will be a delicious couple of days!

Remember that you can sign up for my newsletter here. I won't bombard you with emails, I promise! I'll keep you updated on class offerings as well as offer a few tips & tricks along the way.

Here's another page from this week. A few notes about this page:

• There was color on the background from previous "leftovers"…i.e. when I blot stencils, use up extra paint, etc. Often when I need to blot a stencil, I'll turn to a page in my journal & blot it. Later on when I get to that page, I've got something there to work with. Love it.
• I grabbed a pen & just wrote over the color…poured out what I needed to pour.
• I grabbed a tag from my "unfinished projects/warm ups" box and decided that it would be perfect on the page.
• I cut up another painty/inky tag to make the hearts. Easy peasy!

I am wishing you a wonderful holiday…be merry!
