Paul's painting of his Gaspe starfish is almost done. I was so happy about how it looked after I put the first bits of shading on! More shading to do and detail on the driftwood. Can't wait to get back to it! I'll be working on it in the studio, looking out at the falling snow today.

A chilly day here. Going to get the Christmas lights up outside....why didn't I do that when the weather was warm?? Wouldn't be the same without freezing my hands off though! It's my own tradition :)

Going to go shopping in Barrie tomorrow with Brenda and Amy. Not sure if they're into Value Village, but hoping!

Have a great day!

Working on the little project for Paul (his Gaspe starfish/rocks), then onto the barn Christmas winter scene...which I think is the first in the CJK series (?) Chris Jan Kellie series? A beautiful day here. May be the last of the above 10C weather...might as well have snow now! Bring it on! Can't wait to see the view from the studio window.

Little Dottie asleep on the couch this morning. I couldn't figure out what she had in her mouth, then saw her tongue sticking out! Sweet!

Welcome to my world today!

Hi Mom and Dad! Sounds like you've had a great start to your vacation. Can't beat the states for a great time!

Randy and I had a quick drive into town and went to the A&W for a cold rootbeer. With their Fiesta burger on promotion (I remember Dad's story!), they had pinatas around the restaurant and Randy walked headfirst into a big pinata shaped like a cowboy boot! I heard a thump and did we laugh!! Well, that was our night out!

Safe travels and enjoy your 2nd day on the road.

We love you.
