First of all let me apologize for the delay in doing the drawing. I was not feeling well and wasn’t in the studio. But, now that things are back on track, the winner’s name is in the artwork above.

Remember what I said in a prior post……hard to tell reality from photo editing. I had fun creating this picture. What a dream come true it would be to be featured on the cover of this magazine 🙂

Last chance this year to win! I am giving a lucky winner this small garden flag featuring a plump and happy Santa 🙂 My way of saying “Merry Christmas” to my blogger friends. Just post a comment here or on facebook to enter….good luck!

It is Tuesday and the second snow day in a row for the boys!! I had to go out this morning and the roads were very icy. The temperature is too cold for the salt to melt the ice! By the time I was returning home, the main roads were getting better….I could see pavement anyway. Sooooo, we’ll see about tomorrow. It would be a Christmas miracle if they had a third snow day 🙂

I took these fun photos this morning with my Droid X using “solarize” photo effects. Playing around with photos can be addicting. It is so fun to see what you can come up with. I also love using picnik.com for altering photos.

Are ready for Christmas?……Kevin and I were going to take today off to start our Christmas shopping, but we had a snow storm yesterday and the kids have a snow day today. Sledding is on their minds for the activity of the day……..I must say the new fallen snow is beautiful! Stay warm y’all!

The Holy Rosary Catholic School’s Christmas program!

Every year the teachers and students put on an amazing show. Each grade, K-8, presents a few songs and/or skits to entertain their friends and families. Some are just plain funny, some are incredibly adorable and some move our hearts and bring tears to our eyes. I am so thankful for Holy Rosary Catholic School…..a place where our children can celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.

I received this image in an email today……..after I was done laughing, it struck me that you just can’t believe everything you see in pictures…….there are some reeeaaalllly talented photoshop artists out there that can make photos like this one look so authentic……scary……btw, nice arms, Sarah….or whoever you are 😉
