Gone in a Blink of an Eye!

Hello All, I see my last post was on December 4th of 2014. Well, I can honestly say a lot happens during the holiday in my family. We have pre-Christmas parties, office holiday parties, Christmas Eve parties, Christmas Day get-togethers, and after all the “holiday parting” we get maybe two days to relax (with kids) which is not much relaxing.

July 5th, 2014 More Bulbs to be Gesso

Hello Subbies, Tonight I had to frost some more bulbs with gesso. It seems at two bulbs a night for four nights it would equal eight ornaments completed.

I’m sure some of you […]
