The tree is up and fully decorated. The stockings are hung and presents are piling up waiting to be wrapped and shipped off. Everyone is on their best behavior just to be extra sure to stay off the naughty list. And we have been busy making cards to mail. When I get all the photos uploaded I'll share our card production here with you. Next up is baking holiday treats. Yum! My favorite part of the season!

  1. What a neat little ACEO Ann!

    When you start your baking don't be shy about sharing a few recipe's with us (nudge, nudge...)

  2. Lovely. I'm noticing the nice clean edges. That's hard with colored pencil, as are perfectly round shapes. I think you're brave to try a bright shiny object in colored pencil, since they often result in more of a matte finish. Brava!

  3. Great ACEO. I've got my cards done and mailed (yesterday) and now considering what treats to make. My daughter makes a lot of them and we spend the holiday at her house so I only make what I like and she doesn't. That makes it a lot easier now as we like to have lots of goodies.

  4. Oh, I can hardly wait to see it all. I heard from freebird on her blog today and saw what she'd done to make her cards. I never thought of doing that. Photos, yes, cards just didn't enter my mind. Well, they have now! What fun and tomorrow I get to have an art day with a friend. Bliss, pure bliss!

  5. I like how you used just one simple ornament... and it's enough! It works! Love the rich simplicity of it.

  7. That's a really lovely warm fuzziness of a picture. There's just such warmth in everything you do - love it!
