Finally...........

Some time for my favorite past time (besides reading).

Well my hours have been cut again, actually had 5 days off in a row!

Of course 3 of them was getting my apartment back in order, Christmas decorations put away, furniture back in place (than decided to change the room around LOL, so moved the furniture again!)

Went out for New Year's Eve, to bingo in town than my boyfriend picked me up from bingo at 9:30 pm and we went to the casino.

We did not get back until 7:40 am New Year's Day!

And we actually came home with more money than we left with!

It was lots of fun!

I have to work tomorrow for 5 hours, than find out what happens next week with my hours.

The girl that was on sick leave is now back full time I believe.

Anyways I do have some pictures to share :)

First some pictures of some of my Christmas presents.

These prove that those that love me know exactly what I like.

My sister and her family gave me this picture of a tiger.

Here are 3 different views, they all look like the tiger is looking at you.

It is a 3D picture!

  

Plus this beautiful Wolf Calender.

Years ago me and my girlfriend saw this cup, and I wanted to get one but we couldn't find it.

Well she found it and gave it to me for Christmas.

Check out what it says!

And my boyfriend found this for me.

It is a cat tea pot!

He also gave me (just before Christmas) this Christmas Tree from Scentsy with Mandarin Moon wax for it. 

(Beautiful scent for Christmas).

And his daughter gave me these cute kitty earrings!

(Do you see the theme? Cats!)

And I also love wolves!

And this bracelet that has A for Alice on it.

And it goes with the bracelet my secret Santa at work gave to me (plus a round scarf and nail polish).

Bling! Yes!

I received many nice things this Christmas (including my favorite gift cards for Tim Hortons!  Another collectors cup plus some ornaments for next years tree), 

wish I could post all the pictures. 

I did buy some new ornaments before Christmas.

These four stuffed ones.

;)

I also bought some Christmas flowers.

 This one is still getting more blooms!

I also got some new tins for under the tree.

Here are two of them.

 And check out my Halloween Rat, I made him in to Santa Rat! lol

 Well that is all for now.

Tomorrow I will show you some of the pictures I took after the Ice Storm just before Christmas.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!

Christmas Paintings

Hi all!

Thought I would show you what I have been doing this week or so.

Last year some of you might remember my Christmas project, my ginger bread Village.

 (I have another gingerbread house that I intend to do next week to add to the Village) 

 

  This year I have another project.

8 Paintings.

I have been collecting them for a couple of years.

I bought them at the dollar store.

The canvas has a Christmas drawing and all you have to do is paint them.

Four are more or less done.

The other four I am still working on.

Here the are, even the unfinished ones.

The first four are finished but thinking of adding a little more glitter before I spray them.

 These next 2 are almost done.

 

Still trying to figure out what color to put on the inside of the fire place etc.

 This one needs a little work, trying to fix the colors and add glitter.

And this last one I don't like the colors so still needs lots of work.

When they are all done will show you them again.

One year I made Christmas tree decorations. (painted ceramic and wooden ones).

Will have to think of what to do next year. ;)

See you all soon.

Hope everyone is doing well, and ready (or almost ready) for Christmas.

Remember the best gifts come from the heart not the wallet.
