November Art

I was so tired on Wednesday night...I picked up Campy and went home and took a nap.  But afterwards, I drove to the shelter and taught an art class.  Since it is November--The Month of Thankfulness, we made thank you cards. 
using chip board as a stencil

We use Elmer's glue.

My favorite couple.  They exchanged thank you cards.

This shows the art set up in the cafeteria.

Thank you card.

This thank you went to the shelter.

Globes

Saw this art piece in Waxahachie.  Love it so I found me some globes destined for the trash can.  You have no idea how hard it is to bust them open.  I chiseled.  I drilled.  I cut.  But the best way is to bounce it on the ground like a basketball. 
I have a trunk full of them.  I just hope John doesn't find them.

Vina's 30th birthday

I started this at Artistic Journey and broke apart the album.  This page of the album has Ten Second Studio metal on it and then I put a bible verse on it.  I hate looking at my own handwriting but knew it would make it more meaningful to her.  Vina has it hanging by her desk in her classroom. Love her!

Junior League Weekend

John and Sue

Mom and Me

A beautiful tree with lots of pink decorations.

Jana and her 8th grade Spanish teacher, Lisa.
So I had a great time at Shopping in the City on Friday with work friends and then drove to Waco for Saturday's Vintage Christmas.  I had a great time with my mom, mother-in-law, and John.  We shopped 'til we dropped and then crawled to Ninfa's.  Great memories.

Love junk sales

Yes...I love junk sales. estate sales, garage sales, yard sales, etc.  I love to find old things that other people think are trash but they turn into my treasures.  So I was so happy when my mother invited me home to Waco for Vintage Christmas.  I am so excited and we have matching shirts to wear.  Green with reindeer.  And did I mention that I am going to Holiday Magic on Friday with work friends.  I am sooooooooooooooo looking forward to this weekend.

Day of the Dead

Love the skeletons and the idea of checking on our loved ones' graves.
