Caution: Reindeer

There's been a crafty craze of reindeer in these parts. I was greeted with this caution sign yesterday afternoon when I ventured out of the studio. Since then an entire herd of these candy cane reindeer has been spotted roaming the house and making their way into packages for loved ones near and far. And below....another version of reindeer and candy cane craftiness. Someone's been busy!

Dad's Office Decor

Lizzie has made sure that Patrick's office at school is properly decked out for the holidays. He's more a 'glass half empty' sort of guy thus the Charlie Brown tree!

Lights 'round the white board and a Dr. Suessian-like tree drawn by Lizzie. By the way, all her drawings of xmas trees this year have only ONE ornament..."just like Dad's". ha ha ha!

No...they didn't consume 13 boxes of candy canes. Those happen to be for Patrick's lucky students but...

....they did get crafty and turn some into candy cane reindeer!

Happy weekend all :)

PS: A big thank you to Patrick for the Hipstamatic photos.

A Christmas Assemblage

We really got into the holiday spirit over the long weekend. All the totes with decorations were pulled out of storage, we set up the tree and unearthed the Christmas books 'n movies that stay packed up 'till this time of year.

I'm guessing that reading several versions of "The Night Before Christmas" spilled over into my studio time and this candy-cane striped shadowbox assemblage, Over The Rooftops, materialized.

Also, I want to say thank you to each and every one of you who shopped my Holiday Sale over the weekend. It was a huge success and I promise to have all the packages on their way later today!
