Thanksgiving or thanksgiving

Is there a difference between Thanksgiving with a capital "T" 
and thanksgiving with a lower case "t"? Yes, there is.

Thanksgiving is a noun and is the name for the holiday 
we celebrate in November.

As a verb, thanksgiving is "the act of giving thanks."

The holiday is celebrated for one day once a year, but everyday should be a day of giving thanks for all the blessings the Lord has given us.

Here are some pics I created illustrating both.

May you celebrate this year

with both--

Thanksgiving and thanksgiving.

Country Charm

It's hard to believe that fall is here with beautiful things to enjoy!! It is one of my favorite seasons of the year. Have missed it because of living in Florida for the past six years. That is why I really like the kit "Country Charm" by Lynne Anzelc Designs. So lovely.

Here are some of the sample pages that I created using that kit.

Hope you check out the store and create some of your own wonderful fall things.

Fastasy.Fantasy.Fantasy.

I like watching fantasy movies, but was not really into doing fantasy-type things with my art. Lynne Anzelc Designs changed my mind because of several of her kits. "Wonderland," "Floral Fancy" and the new kit "Just BEEing Me" spurred me on and now I'm hooked. Oh! My! I felt a blog post coming on so just had to get busy.

A New Kind of Puzzle

Many hours of my life have been spent putting together puzzles. It all started as a young child and continued until a few years ago. But now I'm doing a different kind of puzzles--scrapbook artistry. 

Each kit that I purchase contains a variety of pieces that need to be put together to create an amazing picture. It is so much fun to see what finally emerges.


Take a look at some of the new puzzles I've put together.

• A Glimpse of Spring

• Flora and Fauna

• Venezia Bundle

• Lasting Presence

How much fun is that? And it allows for my creative side to express itself, which goes beyond just putting pieces together to form another person's ideas.

Check out the lovely things at oscraps.com by Lynne Anzelc Designs. You will be amazed at all the lovely things she has for you to let your creativity soar.

Some Favorites

Creating screensavers for my computer is now a fun past time. Here are a few of my favorite pics from my current one.

Coloring Book Craze

Many years ago as a child, an exciting day was when I got a new box of crayons and a coloring book. 

Now I relive those happy moments with gel pens, colored pencils and an adult coloring book thanks to a special friend's Christmas present.

Who would have thought that coloring for adults would become so popular and also so addictive. It has become my evening's entertainment while listening to TV.

Here are some things I've colored.

• Gel Pens

• Gel Pens and Colored Pencils

• Computer

Besides books for purchase, there are many freebies. I have enough things to color to last a very long time.

Have you tried you hand at this latest craze? Just remember that it is addictive, but also relaxing and therapeutic.
