Well I need to apologize. I really haven't been posting or visiting. Christmas is always a particulary hard time of year for me. It seems my depression gets quite out of wack and each year it seems to get worse. I didn't realize how far I'd pulled into myself until someone got me talking and then it seemed to tumble out of me. Felt quite like a blabbermouth by the time I got done! Not sure what I'm going to do about it because when it rains it pours and there happens to be several other things going on which make it quite difficult. I don't like what's been happening with me but I feel quite powerless to stop it. So, hopefully, I can get back on track soon. In the mean time, for those of you kind enough to stop by, thanks.

Alice In Wonderland teaser trailer - official trailer

I love Alice in Wonderland and I can't wait for this!!!!

While visiting here I found the following announcement:

Yes my friends there will be a 4th annual One World One Heart coming in January. The event will be held right here on this blog NOT on the OWOH blog created last year and instead of riding a Gypsy Caravan we'll be riding around on a Magic Carpet this year. Don't worry, there's plenty of room!
We will all be finding and revisiting fabulous blogs, meeting new fabulous people, finding or reconnecting with kindred spirits,making future friends, finding inspiration AND winning a gift or two along the way.
This years event will begin on January 25 and run to February 15 when all giveaway announcements will be made. I will accept links from Jan. 25 - Feb. 7, 2010.

I must tell you, I have participated in the past and find it to be quite fun! The only problem is that I stayed glued to my computer trying to visit all the participants! It's a good way to find new blogs!

So ready for Christmas? Hm---mmm, no. It's a bit away and I'm so not going to be ready. All my best intentions so disappeared. I thought I'd knit and crochet and sew and paste and paper and well you get the idea. My depression really gets bad this time of year. You'd think I'd remember but no! Maybe if I start with the intention of being ready for next year. It's so hard to stay motivated. I just wish my family wasn't all scattered, especially my daughter. Oh I know I have people around me, who love me. I really shouldn't be depressed, but depression knows no logic. I guess it's the time of year when you look back and take stock. In some ways I did better, but in other ways I didn't live up to my expectations. I keep hoping that once, just once, I won't have to say maybe next year. I'm sure there are people who can identify with me. It's just that I wish I wouldn't let myself down. Well Merry Christmas early.

Headdress Fantasy

Another in my series. I think I'll call Mystic. She's certainly not a fairy! But maybe, just maybe she could lead us to their hiding place. Though if she could channel some bunny hiding places, I'd be happy. I haven't seen any bunnies since it's been so cold, though I know we at least made it to 11 degrees today, YAY!!! Hey it's better than below zero. I know no self respecting fairy would be flitting about in this temp except maybe an ice princess fairy.

The cold continues

Well, the continues and I hear I have lots of company! It seems so many people are experiencing cold. My sister in Florida is no longer use to Montana temps and now finds 51 degrees cold! I know, it's about what you're use to, but I'd sure like to have some of the 51 degrees right now. The coast is cold, even California is experiencing cold. I think Jack Frost forgot us, have you noticed that? It's too cold to even get frost! My husband wants to ride his motorcycle in an annual run called Toys for Tots. They collect toys for Christmas. It might be 30 degrees by the time he does the run. Personally, I'm thinking that sounds like under the covers with a good book weather. He's all excited. So here's my third ladie in my series on hats. Hope you enjoy her.

Baby, it's cold out!

It's so cold out! I wish I was in, oh who knows, maybe Florida or California or even Arizona! It's suppose to be 0 degrees tonight. Sure would be nice if I could teleconference into work tomorrow! Don't think they'll go for it. I'll have to talk hubby into lighting a fire tonight! Well, I spent the morning in church helping out and I take something to sketch on. I sketched another lady but this was not it. When I went to redraw my new design into my sketch book, this appeared instead. I'll have to get the other one in sometime. Well, I hope you're staying warm!!

Winter is here

Well we finally have snow! How appropriate, after all it is December. Whether we have snow at Christmas will be anybody's guess. Remember that first snowflake and all the sparkles? How about trying to catch snowflakes on you tongue? Unless it was a virtual blizzard, I could catch one. I was too impatient to stand there neck craned, tongue sticking out. I could however, watch and become mesmerized by the flakes. I think this little guy has way more patience and enthusiam then I ever did. I do plan to enjoy the snow, from the comfort of my livingroom with a blanket, a fire, and a cup of cocoa and a good book.
