". Arranged Words: Let It Snow

15 Dec 2025

Let It Snow


 The snow came early, and soon disappeared, and now its back again. More downy flakes are drifting down as I type. With a foot of snow on the ground, it's a magical world out there. 


I haven't been out much, but hope to get back to walking through the woods soon.
Must see the sights and see and feed the birdies.

                                                                           Amaryllis showing off.

A useful tip. Easy to hang artwork:  put a paper clip on the back of masking tape and stick the masking tape on wall and use a magnet to hang a photo or artwork. (Tip I noticed on Instagram or Pinterest.)

My big computer is still out of sorts, so using the iPad. Photos could be sharper. 
Maybe next time all will be in order.
 


                           Not much happening on the art front, although I did draw a few faces.

                  Looking forward to getting busy at the easel in the New Year.
                 The art club has plans for three shows—March, June and September.
                        


                                         Enjoyed getting the cards ready this year. Last year
                       there was a postal strike so, sadly, no cards were sent or received. 

 
                                                    The Infamous Mr. Grinch                                                                   
            It can be difficult to find good watercolour paper, but I thought I’d try a small watercolour block of 60 sheets of cold press 100% cotton paper from Amazon. 

I drew the Grinch on top of 60 sheets so it was precarious from that height.  I erased a lot, and it didn't damage the paper at all!  You can paint on top of the block and let dry, so no need to flatten later, or remove a sheet and paint on it, of course. The paper is 140lb, so I do not think it will buckle too much if you paint on a single sheet. It will be interesting to see how a full landscape turns out. If all goes well, hen I need a new sketchbook I will order
from Lightwish.

You can check out the watercolour block here 
                                                                  


                The halls are decked and I added a few new ornaments this year, including                                                              this glittering teapot. Definitely fun for tea lovers.

                                              Has anyone tried the new Google button?

                           For those who celebrate Christmas have a very Merry Christmas!

                                      Sending my very Best Wishes and Happy Holidays to all! 
 
                                                            Bye bye for now…

Your card is great and so festive. It motivates me to clean up some of my art mess and make a board. :) We have the same snow and cold...it's great for art though the cold has been tough to get outside for long. Nice tea pot ornament too. It's very pretty. I hope you have a super week ahead and T day too. hugs-Erika

Oh, how I loved seeing your work space and the beautiful winter scenes. That's a handsome amaryllis. Thanks for the tape/clip/magnet tip and also the link to the pad you like. Your grinch is making me smile, too! (Please tell me your art desk isn't always that tidy!) Sending all good wishes for a wonderful Christmas! I hope it is merry, safe and bright!

Love all the snow shots. Beautiful. We don't get snow here.

Love that beautiful flower too. You're also very crafty.

Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.

Have a fabulous day and week. ♥

Beautiful photos - and love your amaryllis! Someone gifted us a solid color red one and we are loving it. I am not good with plants so the fact that it does not need water or much light is perfect. Thanks for visiting Our New Vista!
