~Things Made for Christmas~

I made two scarves, a green one for Mrs. Webster, and a black and white one for my aunt in Nebraska. But as I have already given them away, I don't have a picture. And I made a custom pillow case for my dads napping pillow, but that isn't much to see so I wont bore you with that picture. I couldn't think of anything that I could make for Adam, so I gave him money. But here are the other things that I could get a picture of.


Hot pads for mommy~



I drew this for Tyler~



This is something different altogether. My friend had a stamping party yesterday. Sammi Jo is back from College for Christmas break, and I got this idea from her. The Patricks have a machine called a "Cuttlebug." You put the design under and on top of your paper and then run it through. It preses it into a patern. Then you rub a paper towel in ink, then rub in on the indented paper. and I looks like this. V



This is for Mrs. Bosworth's first baby!



This is the inside right corner of the card.



And this is a stamp that I got for Christmas! Isn't it cool?

The Mysterious Islands...

We got to go! Sorry that I didn't get this up right after we went but I've been busy making things for Christmas. Also organizing the swing dancing party/ Christmas party/ Birthday party for my friend Lib. Here are some pictures that I took with my uncles camera. It's funny, i usually get allot of comments on the camera but everyone there seemed to have the same kind!
It was really fun! We had already seen the movie because we ordered it, but then we heard that it was playing in Dallas, so we got to go!
We saw the Moores, Moorlands and the Huestuses. We don't know them very well but we do know the Moores a little bit. You should check out John Moore's website, (www.huemoore.com) Any ways, it turns out that one of our close friends knows Mrs. Philips, so there was a connection there. Since they live in Texas I guess it's not that hard to have a Friend of a friend of a friend that knows the Philips family personally. I got my poster signed by Mr. Philips, Dr. John, Josh, and Virginia. :) She is so cute! I think she is about 3 or 4 years old. She signed every one's poster with ones and zeros. Dad said that she was the smartest little girl because she wrote in digital code.


This is a mirror on the ceiling in the theater entrance area. I'm in a white scarf holding the camera. I think you can see my brother, Adam talking to Joshua P.


I couldn't get a good picture of Mr. Philips because it was so dark. You can see him in this picture. (sort of) I kept wanting to yell "SIT IN THE CHAIR!"




This is me saying "hi" to Virginia Hope. I don't actually know who took this picture.


The Theater.

Our First White Chrismas!!!

In Texas, your lucky if you even get a cold Christmas day, let-a-lone a white Christmas. Last year we were running around the day after Christmas in T-shirts!



Global Warming huh?

It didn't come out in our area, but it did come out in Nashville. Go and Support it! It is about the Galapagos Islands and why this place is so important for Evolution.

~The Weary Hunter~

I love painting! I finally got this back from my teacher's work shop. He had surgery on his knee so that he might be able to walk again after his accident three or four years ago. He wasn't teaching (obviously) so I couldn't get the painting back. I finished it about 6 months ago.



I think I got the idea from a Texas Parks and Wildlife cover. The thing is, I would find a picture of a sky that I liked, and then I would try to paint that sky. But you really have to make it your own. So there is no other picture like mine in the world. :)

Spring Time Fairy

This is a drawing that I did while... uh...... I was doing Government. Knowing that I couldn't tear out the page in my text book and put it with my other drawings, I took a picture of it and uploaded it to my blog. And also because I think it's really cute. You can't really get a perspective on how small it is until the second picture. At one point I thought I completely ruined it because I swept my hand across it. But I worked on it with a pink eraser and I got most of the smudge taken care of. The first picture is before the incident, and before the wings. As you can see it was entirely too small to put a good looking face on it.






I got the idea of the fairy clothes from a drawing book I was looking at in Micheal's. I absolutely love that store. They have everything I could dream of. (and allot more I might add) Her hat is made up of a Bell flower, and her skirt is made up of flower petals. My inspiration was the springtime. I think sometime I will make a Fall Fairy.

In Him,
~Amy
