MERRY CHRISTMAS SCOTT

Christmas Bazaar Time

Every year we do several Christmas Bazaars and this we decided to only do two. Dec 5 & 6 we did on in Tonasket and we got to set up right next to Grandma Funston. She always has so many pretty things to sell. I have a really hard time not buying from her. John bought a beautiful box of cookies from her and then he gave her back the box to refill and lol . Thats just like a grandson isn't it.

Honey for sale always. Steg's Honey everybody loves it.

Grandma Funston yes she made all the stuff on the table. It was stunning.

I was wondering how everyone else is doing with the cold? We were freezing yesterday but better today. The sun actually got to apear today yeah..............................

I tried to solder yesterday but it was so cold that I was afraid of breaking the glass with the hot iron so I didnt get much done and then today John and I decided to bake cookies so to say the least I didn't get any soldering done today either. Maybe tommorrow, I hope so anyhow.

Well I have 2 more students who have finished their projects and they seemed very pleased with the results. We celebrated with hot Vanilla Tea and yummy goodies that I baked. I have so much fun with my students that I always feel a little sad when they are finished. I am thrilled that they both felt they learned so much and then it happened! THE QUESTION "When are you starting the next series of classes"? YEAH they want to come back and do more, I smiled so big and I was thrilled that they asked. So I let them know that I will be taking a few weeks off so I can get ready for a show in Dec and I am also taking a 4 day vacation with hubby. We have been looking forward to it for a while now.........going to the big city, do some shopping, playing and just enjoy each other with out interuptions. YEAH I am so excited...........can you tell. hee hee hee I would like to thank these two ladies for all their hard work and drive to finish these projects,,,,,they were so driven that they made me see why I enjoy doing this so much. They were easy to teach also and that always makes things good.

I have 4 ladies already signed up for my next series of classes and then these 2 so I will be busy busy and I am looking forward to it. Enjoy the photos and just think to yourself how you can color your world.

A Few Halloween costumes to enjoy

Every year for the last 8 years we have spent Halloween with friends who really enjoy the holiday. This year I decided to take pictures and I was amazed at the costumes, here is just a sample of what we saw .

Halloween and Leaves Lots and Lots of Leaves!

Pumpkins made by my grandsons, Halloween was a great time. They cleaned them out and them drew on the faces. Then we drilled until the face came to life. Good Job boys they are WONDERFUL and so are you.

Leaves were falling until you couldn't see the grass, so the boys decided it was time to rake and jump on the piles. Oh my what it is to be young and carefree. Thank you all for sharing your Halloween with us.

Halloween and Nice Things happening

Okay here it is Halloween day and I have some pictures to post finally. I am so proud of my students they do so well. Susie is done with her panel and she is proudly taken her piece home. When I look at the piece I see Art Deco and very much like Susies style. The thing is when you do not start with a pattern and it is totally up to you to decide the out come. WOW can it ever be pleasing to get the choice, I love what she created and that is truly a good artist, CREATING from nothing. Visions can come and go but the ones we bring alive is really exciting and then to proudly hang it on the wall for all to see. HMMMM I find nothing more pleasing then to have someone say OH MY where ever did you get the pattern for that one? Some where in side of all of us there is the vision now to get the brain and hands to work together on making that vision real. Oh and I stopped last weekend to see my new grandbaby.........and so I just had to add a photo of her too. A vision from God and she is truly a gift to all of us. Hi Chelsey, grandma loves you......................................

I will have more photos to come as my 4 grandsons will be here today to celebrate Halloween with me. I am so excited to see them and to have some time with them. They are just wonderful little boys and I am hoping they will rake all my leaves up for me hee hee hee.

Oh speaking of leaves I have the photos to show that is truly golden around here...........leaves everywhere..............I mean EVERYWHERE.

I will post again after the weekend is over I think I am going to be busy.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO EVERYONE.
