First Snow

YES! And I think more is forecast for the end of the week.

Background image taken by my neighbor this morning.

Well I must say I did get some Christmas cards completed and snail mailed. I'm ashamed to say they aren't very fancy this year due to stress of printer failures, and lack of other supplies. I will also be sending many more via e-mail messages. I really like creating nice ones, but.........

Ice not formed on lake yet.

The window view includes a happy orchid.
It is warm indoors —
And...Yard Guy dressed James!! YAY!

Whimsy Workshop


Still haven't found any whimsy-worthy ideas but I did get some decorating finished. Will show you next time.
My printer is on the fritz. Got message that black refill cartridge not recognized. Yes, it was authentic HP cartridge. I've always ordered dozens of replacement cartridges from HP and this one won't work. After removing it and re-inserting it many times, I got frustrated and threw it away! When I leave the older empty cartridge in, the color cartridge still performs well. Now what? Well since the color cartridge is showing to be low, I'll order one and see what happens. I'll also order another black one. Story to be continued. (Thank goodness I had just completed a project for a friend. It consisted of many prints and all printed fine and dandy!)

My "Mr. Fix It" fellow came to help with putting up four more cup hooks over the kitchen windows so I can hang my cut glass ornaments up for the holiday season. It is also to celebrate my brother's art and life as this is the time of year last year that covid got him and he's gone. (Last year I had to use safety pins on the curtains to hang them. I'll show you later.)

A wonderful surprise is happening with the orchid that my daughter gave me on Feb. 16. I have never had orchard plants before. Well..... 
now see what is happening! 
Today it does look a little "haywire"!

Oh and I caught a mouse this morning. The trap of yesterday disappeared. I have extras on hand. It's the time of year!

Birthday Card

My firstborn daughter turns 66 this year. I am in the process of creating a birthday card for her. Just showing you the process here... 

Original image I took the other day—

Removed the background elements—
Created a new background—
Copied and pasted the image onto the new background
Designed a second version—
Now will decide which to use.  The card will be 5" x 7" with a greeting inside. 

In 1956 she was brought home to our old log cabin at the top of a long hill in a rural area. Her first bed was a dresser drawer!

Just Pretty!

I never had an orchid plant before this year. I think they are neat and so pretty. I might have watered her twice in about three months! She started out with just a few blossoms and now is at her limit of fourteen! No pollen problem for me as well.
