I used the newly alcohol inked brochure paper for this one.

Here is the blue background done up with some red alcohol ink and gold mixative. I used the tiny photo-backed pieces that I had put gold mixative on and another different alcohol ink strip. Because the gold rubs off the photo paper, I had to laminate this.

Slightly to the left of the small cedar and back into the woods, two does are just getting up and preening themselves. I caught this picture this morning.

This obviously is not this year and maybe not even last year. I love this scene because it looks so quiet and peaceful, something we need after the hectic pre-Christmas rush.

These are our almost daily visitors. They sleep in the woods north of the house and we watch them 2 or 3 times a week while we eat breakfast. This photo is east of the house and the girls are headed for the pond for their morning drink of water.

This small arrangement graced our table at Christmas dinner. We were blessed to have sharing dinner with us our granddaughter, our son, his friend, and her nine year old daughter.
