I checked out a new murder mystery today and was told it's three week due date was New Year's Eve.
New Year's Eve. What happened to Christmas????
Now you might say this isn't a Holiday photo but it contains red, green, white and brown.
I cleaned up a few more tea bags and made a new "surface" to work on. I have decided the parts on the first two pieces that worked--not much-- were the botanical--so that's where I will go with the third venture. Leaves, flowers. In the original work by an artist--circles were made to begin and then she moved on to more personal female images. I am not political. Or angry. So there is no chance I will use her work to make mine. I know that happens. We see something and then it's okay to copy it. It's not.
I watched ION last night. They had movies based on fairy tales: Snow White, Cinderella, and finally Beauty and the Beast. Beauty was Hillary Duff and she had some weight on her. Beast was a guy they showed running (miles) bare chested not once but four times- he must have been dating the director. And he was as tall as or shorter than Hillary. It didn't seem plausible to me. And---in true being Joanne--I could not figure out why Snow White had this Christmas Band staying at the motel with her. They never were shown playing or singing. Always in the background- in Santa Hats. At the very end I counted--7. Duh. Snow White made big red candy apples and lots and lots of hot chocolate while decorating the motel with more and more twinkle lights every time she had a scene. But it was simple--not like the Hallmark movies. Cinderella was fun. The "Prince" was very tall, also was shown running in a sweaty tee shirt, and was handsome.
The Patriots lost. The game and their game plan--if they had one. Ugh!!!
I haven't made any cookies. I was going to make another pumpkin pie but haven't. You know--there is very little Christmas Spirit here. But there is so much bad juju coming out of Washington....... I know what I would ask Santa for if there was a Santa.

Bake some cookies, even if it's just to give away. Maybe the process will bring some Christmas spirit to you and the aroma while they're baking will help, too. Donate something to a local animal shelter for the dogs and cats that don't have a home for Christmas. Read some Christmas books. If you like Christmas novellas try Anne Perry's Christmas series. She writes one each year that takes place at Christmas, set in Victorian times. Read "A Christmas Carol" or watch it on TV. You can't change the way G feels (I'm married to Mr. Grinch, too) but you can do something to lift your own spirits.
