all proceeds from sales of ornaments goes to give my family a happy holiday... hehehe, thanks!!! Oh and they are just $10 each...

all hearts....

 Tonight I just wanted to do something creative. Anything at all.

 It's been about a month since i have done anything worthwhile. I have painted about 70 ornaments for craft fairs and that's about it. But to me, those don't count. I have done those for like 30 years.

So tonight was just for me. I did these also to take to the craft fairs. They will go in small vintage frames and will be available for sale... let me know if you need one of these, i know the artist and can work it out!

Baby, it's cold outside.....

 Oh yes it is cold outside Virginia.... it snowed last night and rained all day today. So today i stayed in, turned on the Hallmark Channels ( 14 new movies this season- what could be better ) and started working on new things for the local craft fairs.

 The signs above are actually the same one. It's my new double sided signs. One side has a Holiday quote and the other side has a picture and a place for personalizing... so cute, huh?

 These are my new little 3x3 hangers. I love them.... they are 3x3 with book pages and then art on one side and the other side is ready for personalizing.

She is my cubby angel. Sweet little thing. Let me know if you are interested in any of these before they hit the craft fair scene. Just e-mail me at lindsayostrom@yahoo.com and we will work out a deal! More to follow.... ho!ho!ho!

it's beginning to look alot like....

 I spent most of my year working on pieces of art for a company to produce for me. A few weeks ago, they let me know that they would not be using any of them. It broke my heart.

 It was challenging for me to think outside of my comfort zone and I learned alot by doing that. I happen to love the pieces I made. I will be featuring a bunch of these one of a kind pieces at my Holiday Craft Fairs.

It's fall and this weekend we set our clocks back 1 hour. I love fall... and with it brings the need to craft, the joy of making handmade gifts and the watching of Hallmark Christmas movies... don't you just love Hallmark? Yep, it's beginning to look alot like Christmas.
