Double 11"x14" canvas painting I finally finished.

..I have a bad habit of starting certain paintings and then finishing them a few months later :\

This painting will be listed for sale in my etsy shop - http://jelene.etsy.com

Custom 16x20 canvas painting just finished.

I love these cards by Chicken Girl Design!!
Check out her shop at http://chickengirldesign.etsy.com

I'll probably get some myself!!

Wholesale order for Girlz Lyfe.

I'm reposting this, because apparently it's getting a ton of hits off my flickr images right now...

I love the roundish snowflakes, so I decided to start off with a circle instead of folding into a triangle like the normal way.

1. Cut a circle out of plain white paper. I just used some paper I had in my printer.

2. Fold circle in half, like a taco shape.

3. Fold that part in half from left to right.

4. Fold it again, pressing the corners down really well. I trimmed the top so that it was even.

5. Cut your shapes on the sides and top. Be sure and leave some paper inbetween each section you cut, so it holds together.

6. Unfold to see the results! Oh! It looks like deer antlers!

7. Unfold again for another surprise!

8. Voila!! You made a paper snowflake! See how easy that was?

Hang in your windows, doors, or you can hang them from your ceiling, or even on your Christmas tree :)

If you purchase $25 or more in my Etsy shop, you'll get a free 5"x7" print and a pack of 2 button pins... a $14 value, free!

This is good through 12 am Black Friday, Nov. 26 - Cyber Monday

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I've been so busy with work that I haven't had time to update the blog recently... This photo of my Nutcracker collection was taken last year. I got out my little white Christmas tree and put some of my new plush ornaments on it already. My Nutcrackers are still in my doll case, but I will get them out soon...

What is your tradition for decorating in your house? Do you put up decorations before or after Thanksgiving? I know most people start putting things up the weekend after Thanksgiving. Some like to do it a bit before, so they have time to enjoy everything. I don't really like to put things out too early... as I'm still enjoying the pumpkin decorations for Thanksgiving. I kinda wish that Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas were spread out a little bit more, so that everyone can enjoy each one more. Not that, that idea would ever be possible... but it would be nice.

Happy Thanksgiving week everyone!! Gobble gobble!! :)
