Happy Holiday List

My Adventures in December:

1. Last week, we spent a couple of nights at The Drake Hotel in Chicago. This is a holiday tradition for us and we enjoyed it very much as usual!

Holiday Crafts

I've had fun making holiday crafts lately. First of all, I made these little yarn hat ornaments that came across my Facebook page. They are made with a toilet paper roll and leftover yarn. I got my directions from this YouTube video here. Aren't they adorable!?

My Happy List: Acquisitions

1. Here are Ashleigh's latest commissioned pieces. They are portraits of one of my dearest friend's two sons. We're so glad they got completed in time for the holidays. We love how she captured Brad's beard. And Ashleigh remarked that Beau must be a really cool guy since he has Bill Murray on his shirt. Ha!

Vintage Christmas Costume Ladies

Here is a little garland I made with costume lady images from The Graphics Fairy blog. 

Melody of Love

I really enjoy the creative process. It takes quite a bit of time to design a project, but the satisfaction it brings cannot be measured. I'll show you how I transformed the card on the left into the card on the right.
