more with the paint brush

None of the paintings are complete. I am creating them as I go along. Having fun with them, but nothing like the last minute to get 12 paintings and christmas cards (at 40) ready for Christmas. Sometimes I feel my best work is under presure. Here are 2 more pictures.

Christmas cards by Peggy M

My scrapping buddy, Peggy M made another 5 christmas cards.

My friend Peggy always helping new scrapbookers.

Peggy and I have went to a few crops at Scrappin Friendzee and when ever she sees a new face in the store. She take time out and introduces herself and helps them. This lady and her little girl came into the store with a stack of pictures. The lady was looking for someone to scrapbook the pages for her. Peggy said that she should scrap the pages herself because it is such a personal thing. Well the lady did not expect to be scrapping that day, but her and her daugther did 2 - two page layouts and a title page and she was hooked. Can't wait to see the finished album.

that's all that I have made so far.
