Heading out to Son#1’s "Wings Ceremony" in Moncton. PLUS he’s taking us for a flight - weather provided of course - so I won’t be posting my challenge until our return sometime tomorrow.

My 3 words were taken right off the magazine cover: Clear, Saturation, Point. I’ve enjoyed playing. See ya’ll tomorrow!

Oh. And if you just can’t get enough of me … Stacy Alexander posted a most embarassing look at my work yesterday. *blush blush* Check out if you dare: Listen to my Art Beat.

1. Related to my "Finish It Up" challenge last week, Tejae Floyd is having another class online.  Tejae says:
   

   Just a quick note to let you know I’m offering the "Secrets of the Encased Heart" online class again over at That Creative Place. You can read the details on the website. Basically the way it works is you sign up now, which gives you access tothe online forum at that creative place, then on the date of the class, you’ll be emailed a pdf which gives you step by step instructions on how to make the encased hearts. Then I’ll be available on the forum to answer any questions if you get stuck or need assistance. The forum usually stays open for up to two weeks after class.

2. I am now part of the Hannah Grey Design Team. This is the first time I’ve ever been invited to be part of a design team so I’m pretty chuffed! Shoshanah and Mike are adding all manner of new coolio "stuff" to their inventory.  Mini crabs? Weasel skulls? Iridescent bug wings? Oh you KNOW the way to THIS girl’s heart! If you’ve never visited Hannah Grey before or have yet to see their new offerings, do yourself a favour and take a few minutes to gawk (and buy!) at all the goodies.

Yay! We’re on the other side! And though it was the darkest night of the year, the moon shining through our window felt like a spotlight and woke both of us up round 4am this morning.

I picked birch branches and hung them with my Winter Danglies swap from last year along with some ornies from Tricia and some angels from Colette. Oh. And my Ghost ornie as well. There are a few favourites from the past - a tin bird, a glass dove, some crystals and a couple of dresses from Caryl as well. I keep threatening to have this as our sole tree but no one takes me seriously.

We are off today to find a tree, skirting the craziness that is town as everyone gears into that glazed over "OH MY GOD IT’S CHRISTMAS IN 3 DAYS" frenzy which I SO enjoy. Santa, if you’re listening? Please create a store on the edge of town that has all my last minute needs - y’know, milk, frozen sausage meat, Christmas trees, airplane stamps (for my daughter), sundry items that I know I’ll need but won’t know what they are until I see them - and keep everyone else away, have a large cleared parking lot and make it aesthetically pleasing. Thank you. Love Jen xo

It started yesterday afternoon, wet thick goopy snow, "Spring fertilizer" the locals call it. The temperature dipped and it became not so wet, less goopy more snow-like. And started sticking. The greys and browns and fawns of late autumn were wiped clean, stark white.

The power went out overnight and only just recently returned. We spent the afternoon fireside, curled up reading, hot coffee at the ready.

I am so not ready for winter. I don’t think I have a choice in the matter.
