Holiday shopping

Well, the Christmas season is definitely upon us and the day is closing in fast!  Thank goodness I managed to get all of my orders done!  Of course I can't post any photos of them until after the holiday for obvious reasons, but trust me, there were some fun ones!

Ooo, and as it turns out, the Art Center in Brownsville is planning on staying open for the weekend after Christmas too!  That means that you can still get that special something for that special someone and even have them pick it out!  Here's a great gift idea: Make a little gift certificate for a piece of art, jewelry, or handmade trinket, and have your loved one open that on Christmas day.  Then take them to the Art Center and have them select their special item!

I was really impressed with what we have at the Art Center.  Mugs, hats, scarves, paintings, prints, jewelry, sunflower stalk walking sticks, cards, wall sconces, pottery, soaps, preserves, chutneys, and of course wood burnings. ;)  

One thing I will share with you, even though it's not a wood burning, is a painting I completed for a good friend as a gift this year.  (Don't worry, they've already received it.)  So here is another pursuit of mine, oil painting.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!!  I look forward to another year of creating!
