Secret Time

I have  so many great art projects on the go right now but I can't write about them!  They're top secret.  How frustrating!!  Keeping secrets always reminds me of my son Christopher when he was in pre-school.  Being a great talker he informed me..."I made you a secret present, Mom,  It's blue and it's a bowl, but I can't tell you anything about it."  He said this with a totally straight face.  It still makes me laugh.

I am going to show you my cards.  I don't usually make Christmas cards.  When the kids were young I decided to edit my Christmas activities for sanity sake and cards were one thing that got cut.  So when I was asked to make some it sounded like fun.

I carved my stamp from a soft lino block and then went wild with all kinds of different papers and paints.   Sometimes I went a bit overboard with the sparkley doo-dads, but that's what Christmas is for!  They are alot more textural in real life.  I hope the people that get them like them.  Now I must go.  I have more secret things to do!
