I took down all the Christmas decorations day after Christmas ,[well took a few days] to pack and put away til next year!

Old bunnies in the bedroom and painting collage by Irene Gates of 'Sparrow Reed Folk Art' a Pumpkin Doll by Valerie Weberpal http://www.harvestmoon.blogspot.com/ made on a corncob! Thats my Papier mache bunny in a vintage pink dress Bunny Brown Betty..with a fade bouquet of velvet violets..

My 'new old mirror', my husband made this for me on Christmas Day! While I made Christmas dinner, he made this !!! Complete with iron hooks and rustic patina lighting [ I painted the hooks and light hardware a rusty brown with gold highlights and antiqued in black] Love it! Goes with my barnboard cabinet, window trim and various barnboard picture frames.. Gotta love my red walls makes everything pop on the walls! Still need to do barnboard trim around the top of the walls..

Found a new CD on ebay of Delightful vintage photos from ID: Delicate Beauty [see my links for link up to her page..] Very happy with all the lovely pictures and comes in a pretty little case with a sweet label..so here are a few samples from the CD..Luella has a few other CDs to pick from and well they are de-lish ! I think I'll be getting more myself!

Well I did manage to get a couple items made for Jan. 1st http://www.glitterandgrunge.com/ . Here is the' Boy Valentine'...Had to try out my Martha Stewart Glitter on them and was very happy with the result.

Scanned a pretty box I have of a early plstic angel I had bought awhile back at St. Vinnie's for a $1.00! What a deal!

One of my New Year's Resolutions : Repair my collection of old broken dolls [ I think I have about 23 plus.. old bisque and composition dolls to repair and dress!] . These are photos from 'Delicate Beauty' CD.. Neat huh?!
