A fun little stocking stuffer - we have hundreds of these little acrylic keychains at the store, they are so easy to make! Find a Christmas image or photo that you love, trim to size, add a Christmas word (we used our merry christmas rubber stamp) slip it inside of the frame, tie on some bells, holly, and ribbon.
How about making some Christmas Tag Art? Chris made these tags a few weeks ago with our rubber stamps and vintage collage images.
Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

Who knew? Rubber stamping + watercolor. peanut butter + jelly. apples + cinnamon. biscuits + gravy. Not only is this watercolor technique a fun way to spend the afternoon, but beautiful too! We love the subtle variations in color of the graded wash technique. A little bit of water spritzing and you have lovely artful backgrounds for your stamping, and collage art. Today is the Christmas walk in Old Webster, our beautiful historic neighborhood. We hope you can join us for a day of Holiday Cheer! All of the stores will be open, the trolly will be running, song will fill the air, food will be abundant, and Santa will be strolling the streets handing out candy to all! Hope to see you! -be true- Chris & Sharon
Yesterday was one of those days! Several projects going on all at once, wet dogs coming and going, mud on the floor, crumbs on the counter. Around lunch time I glanced out the dining room window and saw Champy scratching around among the hostas, the sun was peeking out, the rain had stopped, and I figured I needed a break! Here are a few pictures of my little bit of back yard beauty. I am amazed that the lantanas are still in full bloom, actually they look better now than when the hummingbirds were flitting around during the summer. That is what I love about gardening, every day is a new story. On another note, we have been rubber stamping and watercoloring with our holiday rubber stamps. Chris will have a lot to show you in our Sat. e-mail. -be true- Chris & Sharon
We decided to take the non traditional route for the Christmas windows again this year. Last year we had lamps with handmade Christmas ornaments hanging from the lamp shades, sure wish that I could find those photos from last year. I will keep digging around and if they turn up I will post them here. For the windows this year we painted large drawers white, and decoupaged our favorite paper - dictionary paper. Chris always get a good laugh every year when I start throwing around the sparkly snow on everything. What is Christmas without a little snow - fake or real? As you can see, the sequins got thrown into the mix this year too! -be true- Chris & Sharon
The snowflake bug bit us this week! We have been sparkling, and sequinning every snowflake in sight. Chris will show you what she has been up to with the snowflakes in the e-mail this Sat.
