What I have been up to for the last 2 weeks of 2011

Well first I never shared the night time images of my(yule) Alter, so I'll start with those, sadly all the darkest, prettiest ones are very blurry :(  so just a few:

 

 This last picture I added as you can see the smoke from my incense, so I have the 2 kings, The God and Goddess and the 4 elements represented. For those not in the know;  incense = air, red candle burning = fire, in the 2 abalone shells at the front of the table I have water = obviously water and sea salt = earth. I also have a small offering of mulled wine, and pound cake.

Then a Piece of 3D Christmas Art made with Nature!

The Digital image of the owl "Hershal" is from SMEARED INK, and I layered him several times, I used coffee stirrer sticks, one for him to stay on the birch chunk, and one for his sign. I used a piece of birch bark (dried and flattened) for the sign. a small piece of plastic holly and berries from an old candle ring. All that is left is to seal the whole thing. I like how it came out. :)



Then I had a HELL OF A GOOD TIME at the December Open House at THE CRAFTERS CAFE ning forum! They had games and challenges, and I entered 1 item in all but one challenge, and that was only because I lost all day Saturday due to pain.


Then I made TOP 3 at SMUDGY ANTICS with one of my "wicked Christmas" entries...I have to find out which one, LOL :)...it was my "Skelly Christmas" creation

AND...If that wasn't all, I won 2 of the games at TCC December Open House!
The grand prize is still open, and one last game, and the winner will be picked tomorrow. {I wasn't the winner, but I feel lucky and blessed to win the 2 that I won :)}

My daughter got a new kitten (a rescue from the PA ASPCA) named Napoleon. Here is his adorable self :

 Amanda says he holds his own against Mag-a-roo (Maggie) who is showing him who is boss. He is also very playful!

I wore my UGGS that Amanda bought for me for the first time...so warm and comfy!
here's the style and color:

 

Over the next few days I'll be sharing the cards I made during the TCC Open House, plus some other stuff I've been making. I hope to be creating  daily, over the next few months, but of course with my injuries and ailments it is always one day at a time. But that is my goal, even if it is just one thing, I want to be creative every day!

I hope you all are doing something everyday, that makes you happy!
