Brrrrr


ICY









COLD








SNOW BALL.....






Ornaments?





I've been making (and selling) faux snowballs and snowblocks for a few years.
It all started when I had an idea for a project that included a galvanized pail that I had painted.
I wanted to fill it with snowballs and under-lighting.
Well, it has "snowballed" from there.
These are what I decked my Christmas tree with this year.
I wanted to show you my frosty ornaments before they head back into storage.




The Angel in my life



She is my pleasant distraction.





I've got a sneaking suspicion it's time for my medicine.

It is?!!



P-L-E-A-S-E! NOT the yucky stuff!!




Wait a minute, whats this?





I must give this the sniff test.




This is too good to be medicine.
It tastes like my yummy favorite...YOGURT.

And we have success.

  7. OMG, she is soooooooooooo beautiful! Do you give her pills, or is it liquid stuff? If it's pills, but Greenies Pill Pockets. They've been a lifesaver for me with Simmie! I actually buy the dog ones (Chicken) because they're huge and each one I can break off pieces and use it at least 5 times!

    Now, I really want to know how you made those pretty snow balls!!!

    Justine :o )

  39. I thought I would stop over and tell you that I did have craft therapy today and it was wonderful. Nothing like creating something fun to make you feel so much better....your kitty sure looks like she is enjoying whatever meds she needs...maybe I should try that!
    Thanks for visiting...
