A tiny Christmas gift for you......

Hoping you have the most marvelous, merriest, and magical Christmas ever!!! I'm staying home today making chocolate/pineapple crepes, sipping espresso, relaxing with my family, and pushing the boundaries of indulgent laziness. Here's a noggy toast to all our Christmas plans coming true.

Just in case you missed my little stocking stuffer at SBG on Christmas Eve, here it is again, my gift to you.  Click right here to get it from our NorthPole headquarters. 

 News note: If you get a 503 error :( wait until the next day and try again.  I upgraded my dropbox to a hugemongous gb  account  :) so that shouldn't happen anymore.   

Here are some of my favorite layouts from the merry elves in my creative team.

Darrie Thistledown and Elinore Dewgrass. Oh, and Ivan.

This is Darrie Thistledown sharing a snack with Ivan, a Siberian Wooleybottomed Swiftwinged Dragonfly.

Darrie's best friend Elinore Dewgrass is a pixie.  Darrie didn't even believe in pixies until Elinore knocked on her door earlier this spring asking if Darrie could loan her a bit of mushroom jam. 

 I was also working on a winter kit until Darrie and Elinore knocked on my door.  It has been snowing outside my window since yesterday and that has been tickling me to get back to work on it. We'll see. In the meantime I am working on a post office for the forest folk. Thanks for coming by and peeking at my previews. I'll have more in a bit. 

I love, love, love, love, love, November.

Here’s some photos taken just outside my kitchen door. It started snowing and blowing today and the leaves are taking off every which way, so it doesn’t look quite like this today. The maple tree has lost half her yellow fall gown already.   C’est la vie.  She's still beautiful without them.

 Hmmm, now I'm noticing the fence needs a little work.

This is my garden. Sort of.  The red leaves are my grape arbor and the garden is behind it.

I am working on a couple new kits - one with snow, one with faeries. I'll have some previews in a little bit.

The Somewhat Perillous Sea Voyages of Cealio

“Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the tradwinds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”-Mark Twain

Yipee, here are some magnificent masterpieces from the amazingly marvelous mavens of the Studio Lorie Creative Team. These are all created with my new kit The Somewhat Perillous Sea Voyages of Cealio.
