Baby's 1st Christmas

One more of my ornaments on sale available at The Land of Nod.

Do you or someone you know have a new little one?  

Makes a perfect gift!

Ornament SALE

The Land of Nod is offering 20% off their holiday ornaments now through Monday December 25th.
I was SO excited about the ornaments I made for them.  I took a painted approach this year.

The first set is Season's Greetings a set of 6 ornaments each with a classic holiday word.  I love lettering so this was great fun to work on & came together quickly.

Here is the finished art.

Next is Round the World ornaments this is a set of 12.  Inspired by the beauty of Christmas around the world.  I featured 12 different countries including iconic architecture, food and character found in each place.  To complete the festivities each ornament says Merry Christmas in the native language.

*These ornaments tie back perfectly to my Around the World tree skirt. (I'll post this next week)

You can see all the details in the finished art.

Ready, Set, Decorate!  

Fall Leaves

At least Luca has enjoyed them!  

I think the last of our leaves has fallen & we can put the rakes down for this year. 

 Remember how much fun jumping into a leaf pile was?

JM baby & kids STOCKINGS

 

With Thanksgiving just around the corner do you have Christmas on your mind?  I am starting to get the itch to decorate!  The next couple of weeks I will post some of my Christmas decor items I've made.  Hope you are feeling merry & looking forward to a wonderful holiday season!

Number fun...

Have you noticed today's date?  11, 12, 13 what fun sequence.

I wonder how many people have planned something special for today?

This even made writing the mid month checks a little more exciting.  

My niece was born on 10, 10, 10 because of this I always think of her as the jackpot baby.
