Santa's, Santa's everywhere.

While sitting here with my heating pad and hot cup of tea ( it is cold here in Michigan this morning with the wind blowing and I over did it yesterday) and trying to find a comfort zone, I have been reading my email. I opened the Polymer Clay Daily post I will thrilled to see Dennis Brown mentioned on her site.
Being a Dennis Brown and Santa fan, I of course had to check out everything. His page on Reasons to Believe is just full of amazing Santa's that he has sculpted using polymer clay. He is a very talented guy who obviously loves Santa.
There is a page where you can see works from other clay sculpture artists like, Janell Berryman with her whimsical characters, Laura Benge with her Rolly Polly Santa, Becky Goasdoue with her creatively detailed works, and Kathy Cornell who is a reuse, recycle artist. You will have to be your own judge as to whom you like the best. But if you are like me I could not make up my mind to just one. They are all so great and have their own special technique.
There are pages and pages of Santa's, from wood carved to resin and whimsical to folk art.
So if you love Santa as much as I do and have some time to spare go take a look. But be warned you may get lost in there and have to have your familiy come and rescue you. hehe

And while you are looking around you might want to visit my other site at LGdesigns, I have a good post on the different uses of Future floor polish.

Ya'll have a warm and fun day.
'till next time,
Happy creative day..Linda

First Snow of the season

Well, I woke up this morning to snow on the ground and still coming down. Now even though I was born and raised here in Michigan, I really don't care much for snow anymore. I used to love it but as the years go by that love afair is ending. Now the only thing that is nice about snow is that it is real pretty when I am in the house where it is warm and cozy. It is so pretty looking at it in the trees. And the first snow is still special. We don't have much but it is covering the ground and we are to get a little more as the day goes on. So even though I don't really care for it I did thank God for it and is beauty.
I don't think I have mentioned that I have a cute little inside dog that is my little sweetie. I don't think he likes this new change in the weather either as all he wants to do is sit on my lap. Now that would not be so bad but he is a very nosey little thing and has he have his nose in to everything. Have you ever tried to type with a dogs nose on the keyboard. Well it is a challenge. LOL But I wouldn't give him up for the world. He makes me laugh and gives me puppy hugs and kisses all the time. Who could get upset at that?
I am tring to make some Christmas earrings and some cow earrings this morning. Have some ideas runnning around in my head that I have to let out. Hopefully I willl have some posted in my flickr album and in my Etsy shop by tonight or tomorrow.

The other day I send a recipe for Peanut butter oatmeal cookie, did anyone out there make any? How did you like them? Mine are all gone and now I will have to make more. The only problem with that is that it is just my DH and me and we shouldn't be eating that many cookies. Darn!!!!

Check out my other blog I have a few website that you might be interested in looking at.

Have a great day!!!
