Part 2 - FINDING ART

Hi Everyone. Welcome back to Part 2.
Grab your favorite beverage!!!
 
Black Friday we decided to head down town. Let me tell you the stores were empty and this was around noon. Either everyone was there at early morning hours or they were all shopping online.
 
We ended up only going in a few stores but I did find some art.
 
The next three photos were taken in Anthropology.
These flowers and vines were all created with corks.
 

 
The were created on the walls so I couldn't get a close shot. I only took my cell phone on this trip.


 
Loved the moose.


 
 
I love street art. It's my favorite.
We stayed at the Acme Hotel Company and it was full of street style art. I loved it.
 
Soon as I saw the door I knew I would love it.
 
 
 
Front desk
 
 
The front window. My husband's favorite movie!
 
 
 
The elevators had album covers on one wall.
 
 
 
Emergency exit door.
 
 
 
 
Large canvas with hand prints were the headboards.
 
 
 
 
The extra sink. Loved the light fixture.
 
 
 
This is the nightlight in the bathroom. It's in the mirror.
 
 
 
 
We have to stop and look at Macy's windows.
 
 
 
 



 
This was one was cool. The snow would start blowing around and it would turn into another animal.


 
AND Christmas Outfits
 
 
 
 

 
The Saturday of Thanksgiving, my birthday, we saw Hamilton. What a fantastic show. It is a must see!
 
 
 
The worse part of the weekend is having to say goodbye to my daughter. She's not coming home for Christmas this year (first time) and it was very, very hard to say goodbye.
 
These large pieces are on the way to the airport from the trains.
 
 
 
 
 

 
Well, that's it. My next trip won't be until the summer. I hope you enjoyed all the art.
 
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Merry Christmas, Trees and Cardinals

It's Christmas Eve!!
Everyone is getting for Santa!
Although my daughter is 27, she gets just as excited as the little ones.

This is my last post of the year.
I'm going to take a mini break to be with family and friends.

I'm sure I will be creating here and there.
Check out my Instagram or Facebook.

Merry Christmas and a Happy, Safe and Healthy New Year!

Also.....

I have a post up on The Crafter's Workshop blog.
If you have some down time, please check it out.
I cut up a canvas to create it. 
 
I also talked about one of my memories of Christmas Eve.



You can click here to see it.

Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays 
Happy Everything.
I hope you have an amazing time with your family and friends.

Poinsettia, Are they leaves or flower petals?

Do you know the answer?



They are leaves not petals.


I'm looking at all my rubber stamps and have many favorites.
There are few that can no longer be bought as the business is closed.  Sad.

I decided to decorate the envelope too.


This Poinsettia stamp is one of my favorites.
It's easy to stamp, color and cut out.


The Mini Woven stencil was used in white and green.
With such a large stamp the background doesn't need to be to busy. 




Stamp: Poinsettia H180 - Me and Carrie Lou Stamps (no longer in business)


Thanks so much for stopping by!

When the holiday season begins


We travel to Chicago to be with our daughter for Thanksgiving. This year father and daughter ran a 5K on Thanksgiving and then she cooked a yummy dinner.

What starts the Christmas season is making ornaments.
We started this new tradition last year.


Except for the paints, all the ornaments parts are from Red Lead Paperworks.  This ornament is the one I created.


We also made this small snow globe ornaments.
This is the one I created.






My daughter's favorite holiday is Christmas and she loves to create the ornaments. As she was growing up we used to make ornaments that she would give as gifts. The best part of Christmas for her was giving her gift, watching the recipient open it and then their smile. To this day, she still makes ornaments as gifts and can't wait for everyone to open them.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I'm linking my ornaments to Karen Evans' challenge blog called Emerald Creek Dares. The challenge is called Let The Festivities Begin.
