The Birthday Fairy

I just posted this card for a challenge on The Outlawz. The challenge was something with wings. The Birthday Fairy looks so sweet, doesn't she? Well, the inside of the card simply says, "That Bitch!" Enough said about the Birthday Fairy. (Actually, I'm grateful for every birthday as long as I am healthy and have all of my faculties.)

An Early Bit of Christmas

   I don't really like to do anything Christmasy until December but we took a trip to Branson, Missouri last week and they are in full Christmas mode. Everything is decorated and lit up and all of the shows are Christmas themed. I have always wanted to see the lights in Silver Dollar City so we went last Thursday. Luckily, the temps were in the low 60's most of the day and only dropped into the 40's in the evening. Even so, we were pretty cold by the time the parade ended.

Silver Dollar City had Christmas lights on all of the buildings and lots of the trees. It was very pretty as night fell. 

               

 

The centerpiece of the display is a huge Christmas tree that plays music and makes different patterns in the lights in time to the music. Here is a short(30 second) video.

                                  
The only downside of our trip is that when I got home I realized that Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK.....YIKES!! Time to get into cleaning, cooking and baking mode! Thanks for stopping by.

First Bit-n-Pieces

  This blog is going to be a lot like my cooking-a little of this and a little of that. The main focus will be my passion in life, Card Making. So, mostly I will be sharing cards and info related to making cards. Occasionally, I may toss in a recipe or mention what's happening in my gardens. So, I hope you will stop by once in awhile for a visit. Um, bring coffee-I can't get through a day without it!
