After two targets, I finally found those scarves! And Walmarts! i forgot how many we hit! But sure enough after the lost of sleep and emptying out my wallet, I came out with every bodies presents, including 13th world's hottest hot sauce . Just one less thing to think about and enjoy the Christmas season.

An Organic Poptart giveaway!

Just on a whim, I have decided to give away a box of Apple Cinnamon Pop-tarts from Natures Path! This was the first kind of Organic Poptart I got my husband when I had him first try it out. He loved it and ever since I have always picked up few boxes. Just for the fun of it I have decided to give a box of it away! The rules are pretty simple!

4. And answer in the comments down below "Why should you get this box of organic pop-tarts?"

The answer can be goofy or specific, doesn't matter to me. The winner will be selected at random and will be announced the Saturday after Thanksgiving, which will be November 26th!

Paintings by my students

These are just a couple pictures of my students paintings! I am so proud of them! As I hope I mentioned before, (maybe not) I teach oil painting class ever Friday. These kids couldn't make a teacher more proud. :) They have come so far in their work. In the 11 weeks have have taught them they have learned so much. With Strawberry in her stroller off to the side, serenading us with soft and loud coos, we have a fun time swimming through paint and battling with brushes, then wearing the purple mustache of shame. After all the adventure, it is sad to see this painting come to an end. With a group of kids ages 8-13, we had the greatest fun! Hopefully when the kids went home their parents didn;t have to hard of time washing the paint off their children. The two paintings above were from two of my students who tried their hand in a modern free hand. One was 12 and the other ten. They did a great job on them. I am very proud.
Until another post!

Update of life and Christmas

So, from my last post and probably from all the red and green decoration being put up you all know its now coming the Holiday times. *sigh* We must accept it and hold out heads up high as we head into the the unknown fate of the known fate that awaits us. ANd what also makes this holiday season a little hardy. Hubby Man will be heading into the air-force. :( SAd, but exciting! Strawberry's daddy is going to be an airman! Prayers from him will most appreciated, but also lots of love!

No worries though! First the turkey, then Christmas! *put on ninja suit* We can do this! So 48 days to stock up, pile up, pack up Hubby Man, Pictures done, letters ready! We can do this!!! *refuses to give the urge to hide*

You all beware! Crazy artist momi coming through and well...I not sure what I will be end up doing! :D Anywhoalls

Dancing Snowman and 50% off Candy

e





Okidokie. So Halloween has come on gone. And me being ahead of the game, of course I was at Walmart bright and early to get the best selection for candy, for hubby. 50% off bags of Reese's and Candy Corn, I was going to build me a stash for hubby's sweet tooth.:)
Well then to my horror, I watched as a row of employees rolled out carts of red and green in the forms of Christmas knick-knacks, lights, and little dancing snow men!!!1
Christmas!?!?! I almost fell over!

Christmas card! Gift lists! And those dancing snowmen!!! They come from no where! I almost dove behind my cart ready for action. ..then faster then I thought I could calculate there was 55 more days until Christmas. (To add to your dread, today it 53 more day until Christmas!!!)

I could imagine my self lassoed in by twinkling christmas lights! Dancing snowmen surrounding me with blown up reindeer followed that blown up santa on motorcycle. ....


Gathering my supplies of Peanut Butter Cups, Candy COrn, and taffy, I made a run for the cashier then the door. Just as I dashed out the door, I heard the music begin. "GINGLE BELLS! GINGLE BELLS!!!Christmas is on it way!" in taunting litttle elf singing voices.

Anywhoalls. After my adventure to Walmart, I am glad to say I had these verses to comfort me on the real meaning of this holiday.

Luke 2:1-14

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." (KJV)

Candy and lights
Until another day
