Yesterday, Beth came over for a puppy play date. Well, actually, we were working on Romantic White Christmas, but the dogs thought it was all about them.
We rearranged the furniture in my bedroom to make use of the mantel that I have as a headboard. The pups curled up on my bed and kept an eye on what we were doing as we foofed and decked the halls.
All of the projects we had made for the classes were brought out and displayed, then photographed for a talk on the basics of holiday display. (tomorrow's post on the Ezine)
We've tried to make sure that there is a new post everyday on that blog, and that we give lots more than just the projects listed. There are lots of extras, downloads, freebies, and ideas.
If you are in the class and would like to show what you've made, I've set up a Flickr page for us.
Also, if you have posted a creation from the Ezine on your blog, please let me know and I'll set up a link page to it.
While it was all set up on my mantel, we made a video of the projects. Using the Flipcamera editing software was a bit of a learning curve for both of us, but once we got going, it was much more simple than we thought.
I'm looking forward to doing some baby videos now!
You might have noticed that I still haven't shown Silver Bella pictures?? I'm still not unpacked yet!
Except for a couple of little things. I did unpack this lovely old print for my dining room. Its from our shopping excursion to St Joe on the way to Omaha.
And this purchase was from Sunday at Brass Armadillo with some Bellas.
They could almost be the same lady in the print, huh?

Your mantle looks so romantically soft and pretty.

Oh, those puppies, Karla. They are so sweet. I am falling in love with Dorkies, I believe! I need to figure out how to get into the class! That's what I have forgotten. I am still working on my Silver Bella projects, one by one! It is lots of fun, though!
Hugs,

I love the creativity that gets going when I create, but figuring out the BLOG side of things is not my specialty. I will get it! Here is where my photos of white christmas are posted. I think.
Thanks for the coaching, and hug the puppies for me please.
