CHRISTMAS TAG

This is the Dec. tag that I made for Tee’s swap theme Christmas. Check out the Altered Paper blog. I used a shipping tag in keeping what we have been using all year. Stamped it with a script stamp and ink.the edges. Added some flower and pine cones. K and company Merry Christmas.

Close up.
And all the goodies that went along for the ride. I hope everything I sent out this year were ok. I really was not really into doing much of anything this year. Too much sadness for me. I think this new year will be much better. DD is on their way will be here tomorrow sometime….Day after Christmas we will be on our way to Sanibel Island. Guess we will be staying in FT Myers and going to Joe’s Crab Shack and April’s Pie Company after our day of shelling on the beach…I can’t wait I need this outing so much…All for now thanks for looking and come back soon

WEATHER IN MELBOURNE FL. Nice today. 70's sunny and warm.

Well I finally did it! Signed up at Planet Fitness on Friday. I have been wanting to do this for a very long time, years in fact. Back in 03 when I was in auto accident and had to go for therapy I

just continued on with the gym for about a year. Then for some stupid reason I quit. Dumb, because I never felt better as when I was going to gym. LOL , boy did I notice a big difference from before and now. Big fat belly gets in the way when on some of the machines! Any way I am committed for 1 year. Losing weight is another goal for this year. But need to get this going right now. By the way this place is really cheap ! $10 a month, back in PA where I lived it was $55 a mon. and that was a senior discount! Not a Planet Fitness there.

Been working on my art every day, here is a pic of some painted paper I made this week. I just use my acrylic paint I had from before, and made it using the Best By add in the Sunday paper.

I learned that from ready my art blogs, you can make hand painted paper for your altered art using any kind of paper. I made a few more pages in my Junk Journal, I will post soon. I found a rolling wire cart at a yard sale yesterday 5 bucks. I plan on using it to go back and forth from Florida / art room to my room in the house. When its too hot or too cold I can not work out there. So I will take the cart to where ever ,filled with what I am working on. I would love to have A/C out there because its more hot than cold. A few days in Dec. & Jan. that's all the cold here.

I went to an art show this AM over at the beach. Lot of nice booths, forgot my camera. After that I walked on the beach for awhile, seen a guy using a metal detector and stopped to talk with him. As we were talking I was not paying attention and big wave came in and got me wet from the knees down, was a little cold but not bad. The guy was telling me he just got started beach combing not finding much .. But he did say a fellow out there yesterday found 5 rings. I have always wanted to do that. When my kids were little I got them one for Christmas one time, we had fun with that. I think that will be something for the future when I have "EXTRA" LOL money.

The cache of the day is one found last week at a toy store. Was pretty easy to find, had to wait out a employee muggler, gathering up shopping carts. My GPS was off a little but I found it!

Off to watch my STEELERS Beat the crap outa the black birds LOL

Well that's all for now thanks for stopping and looking.

blessings to all

Donna & Maggie too.
