Yesterday we had to go to “the Mall”. No, not to shop for Christmas, but for some things that were needed from the pharmacy etc. I haven’t done Christmas shopping at a Mall for so long that I can’t remember when I did. The place was packed! The parking lot was [...]
Christmas Day is here, and I did, after all, get a lot of baking done. Thanks to my good friend Scarlette who came over and gave me a massage which really made my bursitis bearable. As I told her, she “saved my Bakin”. Hah, hah. I know I know but [...]
Ok, I don’t know what happened this year. I’m just way behind. It’s only 3 days til Christmas!
Now I have to tell you that I actually wrote this post 11 days ago, but due to problems with our internet provider doing some sort of change over, that caused some sort of technical mess [...]

It’s been kind of exciting around here lately. We’re doing something new. For years we’ve been creating images and lots of artwork and sort of doing things in the old fashioned way… like before the internet. Oh sure we had our gallery on our website, and we had shows in galleries downtown [...]
There is absolutely no way that Christmas Day could have been any better. At least for those of us who DON’T subscribe to “Dreaming of a White Christmas” or go around singing “Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow”. Oh no, Snow is a four letter word to me. I [...]
Now here it is, Christmas Day at last and also my last little collection of Santas. I know they’re an odd little group, but I do like them all. The two, 3rd and 4th from the left are special to me, both a bit worn but still happy and guess what? [...]
You could be excused for thinking these Santas are kind of a “prickly” bunch. I call them the Grouchy Santas and they are always displayed in a group. A power group you could say. And they really DO want to know, this Christmas Eve…. were you naughty? Or nice?? Watch [...]
I didn’t count how many photos I took of this Santa Claus display. The little globe has sparkly bits floating around in it when you shake it and I was trying to catch that. But I’d shake the globe, centre the camera and by the time I hit the button the flakes had [...]
This is kind of a special gourmet Santa, who just wouldn’t fit into any group. To me he looks as though he’s a Parisian Santa, with his jaunty polka dot neck tie and his stylish mustache. So full of “joie de vivre”. Ah yes “mon ami,” this Monsieur Claus is very [...]
We used to have the whole Santa collection on the sideboard in the living room. Then as you may have guessed, the collection grew and grew until it didn’t fit anymore and had to be moved to the front door entry way. Of course that meant we had to move quite a few elephant [...]
