Love Light and Peace

HI to all of you.... so very sorry that it has been so very long since I have posted anything .... but the only excuse is that I have been very busy with so many other things...  

Teaching, cooking up harvested things..,  getting ready for the Ag Center Saturday markets... all that kind of thing...  and on top of it... just having fun in the studio making all kinds of goodies...  

So I thought after getting so many loving letters from ya'll that I had better share something with you...  

Yesterday Sande... my Bud and neighbor came down to play...  she is having surgery this morning... and so my thoughts and love are with her for a QUICK Recovery ... but we did get to play prior to her having to stay home and stay quiet for a while...  

So this is what I did while we played...  

 So I used a Tim Holtz box and re-arranged it a little bit...  putting a small one on the bottom, the largest in the middle and then a little one on the top...  

I wanted the tree to section to be crowded...  which I did get that look with very few items in the box...  

What fun Sande and I had...  She also created a wonderful box... entirely different than mine... all in Red, white and gold... but differently done...  and very elegant and pretty too...  

 This is the center of the box...  
In the very background I did use a watercolor of little trees...  against a pink sky... which we see so very often here at dusk...  

I used a gold garland around the tree and then used all different size pearls  to decorate it...  

Oh the lantern..????  
WAit...  until you see that all lite up... I love it.. 

 On the very top is a little tiny tree all decorated too.. with sequins and pearls... and also some picket fence around all the pearls...  (Stickles that is... )  

A little pair of ice skates are hanging there ready to be used... LOL... so much fun... 

 I had to wait until it got dark so that I could take this picture of the glimmering lantern...  I love the way it looks...  

I am going to be selling this and others like this at the Ag Center Saturday markets...  in Mill Spring, NC...  What fun we all have there too...  so many people to meet and see... 

 Down in the bottom box... I have a votive light... and it shows up the little houses all in the circle...  

Hope you have enjoyed this... I certainly did... and will try and take pictures of the other ones to share with you also...  

Hope you have a wonderful day... create something fun and enjoy what you are doing all the time...  Thanks for stopping by for a visit...  

Love, Light and Peace.... Bonnie
