Time Marches On, Even When We Are Dragging

For many years, after Christmas, I have gathered some of our many clocks from around the house to arrange with old New Years post cards.

As usual, we will be staying in tonight. Turner has all the old Thin Man movies on so we will be lost in another time watching them.

New Years' hugs to all my friends in blogland!

Christmas Fun in Grammys' Workshop

Been making little Christmas post card collages this past week. I copy and print the post cards onto card stock and mount them over sheets of music. It is fun to add the little bits of this and that~~~~~ buttons and ribbons and stuff. The last one is done in a wood box. I used a bit of cotton batting to simulate snow and glued in some pearls here and there.

Working with these old images make me feel much better than I have been feeling lately. On a very personal note, I struggle with depression, big time. I have had several weeks of doing really well and the past few days I have really crashed. Today, for something TOTALLY different, my husband and I played Gin Rummy. Haven't done that in years and it has been so much fun! Hope today is good for you where you live.

Wee Little Ones on Halloween Collages

Halloween is not a holiday I am fond of.............don't care for witches or ghosts or being scared to death. But, when I saw such cute post card images of wee Halloween kidlets, I just wanted to make something with them.

These are on mat board with the post cards printed onto cardstock. I added rick-rack and buttons and some glitter. Oh yeah, and some little Boo! signs and one Meow.
