"I have enjoyed the Hero Arts Blog. What a great source of inspiration, instructional and entertaining videos, best place to catch the Hero Arts news and just a fun place to hang out. Thanks for all the inspiration, and chances to ask my friends "Did you look at the Hero Arts Blog today?" To all the creative and talented people who have posted ideas thank you too. You are a great big part of what makes Hero Arts fun. I'm been mostly a lurker this year but for the New Year I hope to embrace the community, dive in with my eyes wide open and join the fun! Happy New Year!"

New Job Exhaustion
Ok, Ok! I keep saying it but.....I have been really busy. I started a new job working full-time and my life has been a blur. I keep saying I'm going to blog and then something comes up. New job. Learning a new job. It is exhausting. I finally got a few minutes tonight to blog and I hear my husband calling from the living room.... He says my shows coming on TV. I don't know which one but I don't have many so I better go.....I'll try again tomorrow!

Kreativ Blogger Award
Valerie thinks I should update my blog more often. I know this is true but now she has sent me a challenge, I mean award. I've been awarded the Kreative Blogger award by Valerie Craft. Thanks!
I know I should blog more often. I visit my own blog every day. I use the links over to the right to see if Tim Holtz(and a few others I follow) has updated his blog. I try to check everyday because it seems as if I miss a day He's made a post and I've missed it. Of course it is still there but I want to see it as soon as I can.
You see Tim got me started on this whole blog thing. I was just a lurker. Checking out others sites but not bothering them with my comments. Then I found Tim's blog. I love his art and he has challenges most months. He keeps us informed on his Journeys, Such as his recent trip to Europe. In December he's posted the "12 tags of Christmas techniques" the past 2 years. Gorgeous tags with all the details on how to create them. AND he really loves to read comments! Next thing I knew I had started a website. Then I was on blogger and now I blog. Just not often enough. Even my friend Mary Jane mentioned I might want to add something new. So here it is I'll try to do better.
So now I need to do a few things. Here are the procedures connected with the KreativBlogger Award:
- Copy the award to your site.
- Link to the person from whom you received the award.
- Nominate other bloggers.
- Link to those sites on your blog.
- Leave a message on the blogs you nominate.
Below, is a list of my nominations for the “KreativBlogger Award.”

Alcohol palette
After seeing Tim's palette of alcohol inks, I had to make my own. I found a palette with a cover at Michaels for only $1.98. It is perfect because the cover has a built in hang tag making it so easy to store on a hook right below my alcohol inks.

Check It Out!
OK Guys, You know I am totally addicted to Tim Holtz and he is currently running his 12 Tags of Christmas and if you are into anything altered or stamping you have to check it out. I can't wait every day to see what he's come up for us, but I recently ran across another website. It is ran by Brooke who loves to shop. "What is Peachy Cheap? Peachycheap.com is an online store that sells one scrapbook product at a time at an awesome price." And she has a really great deal each day. But if you check out the whole page you'll see that she also has some really great projects that she does with whatever she's selling that day. This is now another one of my "Dailies". You have to check this site out!

Tim's Tags!
Yes! Tim Holtz is celebrating creativity! Last year he posted 12 tags, one each day, for his 12 tags of Christmas. Well guys, he's doing it again this year and I can't wait! 12 days of new tags and great step by step instructions with full color photos! What more can a girl ask for? But wait it gets better. The names of all the people who leave comments are entered into a random drawing and a lucky Blogget wins a fantastic prize consisting of products used to create the tag AND the tag Tim created which is signed by him. I am so looking forward to the next 12 days! See the link for Tim Holtz over to the right side or click here: Tim Holtz The first tag post December 1st!

Valerie & me at the lighting of the tree
What fun I had Thanksgiving Day. I woke up ready to cook. I only had a few things to make this year. Sarah, one of my two daughters, was making the Macaroni and Cheese casserole, I was making potato salad and baking a carrot cake and bringing the green onions and scallops. We were car pooling to June's home in Lithonia, GA. June is my sister and I love her. She and her daughter Miranda were making the bulk of the dinner. Ken, Miranda's Dad, was bringing the Pumpkin Pie. Sarah arrived at 12 noon and off we went.
Everyone had a wonderful time at June's. We did what families across the country were doing, getting together to eat a dinner full of family favorites, swap stories about the old days, laugh, and give thanks. It was wonderful.
When it was time for Sarah and I to leave, Sarah fixed plates for those who had to work and couldn't be with us. She was dropping a plate off for Allen, my son (June had fixed him a care package that would easily feed a small family) and taking one to her husband Ryan.
I was taking a plate to my other daughter, Valerie. She works at the AMC at Phipp's and was getting off at 5pm. While Sarah was driving home, Miranda took me to the Marta station and showed me how to get my "Breeze" card (since the last time I went we used tokens) and gave me detailed instructions on riding the MARTA train to Lenox Square, which included a transfer at Five Points Station (which I had done before).
Now this may seem like a bit much to make sure my daughter had a Thanksgiving dinner, but the plan was to meet up at Lenox to watch "The Lighting of The Great Tree" at Macy's. This was Valerie's first year working at the Phipp's location of AMC and since she was getting off at 5pm and Lenox is just across the street from where she worked, it was a perfect opportunity to see "The Lighting of The Great Tree". Something we'd never done before except on TV. Riding the train was a way to beat the traffic since I could ride home with Valerie.
It was a short walk from the train to Macy's at Lenox. Unfortunately it was all up hill and I was very winded by the time I got there. Of course I was carrying my heavy winter coat, a plate full of food and my camera bag. But needless to say walking up that hill I had my usual talk with myself about how I just had to start excercising and get in shape because of how ridiculous it was that I couldn't walk up a hill without having to exert myself so. But I made it, found Valerie and we had a wonderful time.
