Tutorial for Paper Christmas Tree

This is the cutest Christmas TreeTutorial (here) made from a paperback book. I am sure we all have a few of those laying around that we have read.
My library offers a grocery bag full of books from their discarded book table for $1.00
I get the hardcovers and use them for my altered journals.I only use the covers so now I have a reason to use the pages.I think you could really glam them up and paint them as well as adding some other bits.
I got the idea from Freda's Blog (here)
Thanks Freda.

Merry Christmas Card from the Robinsons

Hello Dear Friends,

Things are pretty good around here and I am feeling much better.

Thanks to everyone for your care and kind thoughts and prayers.

I imagine everyone is hurrying around in the Christmas rush....so...

I thought it was time you took a break and enjoyed the Christmas card my hubby made up.

It is so cute and a great way to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas.

All Is Well and I Feel Lucky

Hello dear Friends.

It has been so long since I was here.

I want to thank everyone that sent good thoughts and prayers when I was down and out!

I am still waiting for an MRI, but as near as I can figure out from my diagnosis it was sciatica!!!

I never knew such pain in my life.

I am nearly off the oxycotin and am being very careful with my movements. I hope I never have to go through that again..

So.... as I continue to improve I do feel "Lucky"  to have this over with.

I did manage to get through the artist's sales I was committed to with the help of drugs and my walking stick!

They were very long days, but  it was a successful  occasion.

 I see my Etsy Shop is nearly empty...... oh dear... .

I will have to work on that in the new year....I promise

I have had time to sit around and do a lot of thinking and I  am planning some kind of a draw for you faithful "followers" in the near future....
I hope you will stay tuned...
Meanwhile, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope you have a wonderful time with those close to you.
xoxo
