So here it is! 2011 already! Doesn't time fly?!I spent part of the day today taking down the Christmas decorations and just had to take a few photos of my most recent tree decorations~coz I love them and don't want to have to wait a whole year before I look at them again! We went to a garden centre a few days after Christmas, as you do, (well, we seem to anyway!) and I had been after an angel to go on top of the tree for a while but with no joy. But with a lovely 50% off all decorations I spied an angel that would do nicely thnak you very much and so purchased it with great glee. And she even got a few days atop of the tree before I packed her away ready for next year!!
I also came up with the idea of the kids picking a decoration for the tree in the Christmas sales (anything for a bargain!!) so each year they could choose a new one for the following Christmas. I was suitably pleased with my son's choice as I was going to choose it myself if he did not, and of course who can say no to a sparkly silver heart?!!! (my daughter's choice.) The only one we couldn't find was one with my little son's name on which I have also been hunting for since he was born, but to no avail. Maybe next year...
Oh and with regards to the show in my last entry, I am happy to say that I sold a piece, which was great! I would have had lots of photos of the show but the whole family came down with the winter flu~ey thing so we didn't venture out of the house for about a week when the show was on! I didn't even manage to take down the paintings at the end of the show as I was still poorly! So thank you Jo for your kind assistance in taking down my work!!
I am very excited about thoughts for my work this year so please watch this space for more piccies!!
Wishing you all a very great 2011!

Oh I do love a good bargain!! I got a couple myself in the sales including a cute little sandwich tray with Christmas puds all over it for the princely sum of 60p reduced from £3 or £4! I saw them when they were full price but couldn't justify buying it, but 60p, now that's another story!! LO!!
ReplyDeleteDid you take piccies of your art work now that you have it at home again? I would love to see the pieces you did for the show & the one you sold if you still have it around (although I expect you don't). Well done you! Our decorations are still up as I need a new box to store them in- a mouse moved into our cardboard box of Christmas things while it was stored in the garage & chewed up a few of the paper decorations the kids made last year amongst other things so we had to throw it into the recycling. Plastic boxes required this year methinks! :o) Happy new year!
