Sharing a Doodle....

I am almost done with my orders that I need to finish before  4 p.m. - but had to squeeze in this little doodle - yes, even Madeline the Mouse loves her morning STARBUCKS! Sometimes, changing from watercolor brush to markers helps rev up the creative energy!

Have a great day my friends!

We Got Our Tree!

We cut our Christmas tree yesterday!

It was the first time I have ever gone to a Christmas Tree farm!

What fun!

Our friends brought food and hot chocolate and I brought the Starbucks of course! 

We had a picnic and then went searching for our Christmas Tree.

The girls spotted this green beauty in a field of thousands!

and it's PERFECT!

It was an amazing day!

I just had to share with you all!

Come visit ROSE HILL DESIGNS on Facebook - here,

 featuring daily updates from the Studio!

when we reach 100 FRIENDS...I will host another giveaway!

wahoooo!

Sunday Sketches - On the drawing board

I am working on custom holiday cards at the moment, and this is one of them!

They all need to be completed by Wednesday, so we can get them off for printing... 

I am thinking  it's going to be a very busy week!

I am sharing this today with my friends over at Sunday Sketches...

See you there

Time to Decorate

Good Morning, well Thanksgiving was a success here at my house -

But now, it's time to get the blog in shape for the Holidays!

I love this time of year!

 I've got Pandora on, playing all of my favorite Christmas stations, and I bought this little tree for my desk, to help make things festive here in The Studio...

So, over the next few days, I hope to have my blog decked out in Christmas style!

What are you up to today?

Happy Thanksgiving from me to you!

Happy Thanksgiving

from my family to yours!

Creative Tuesdays - Three

Three is the theme over at Creative Tuesdays this week.
The first thing that I thought of was, Goldilocks and the Three Bears...
a favorite story of mine.
Little Goldilocks is so curious as to who might live in this pretty house...


Visit Creative Tuesdays, here and remember, 
Three is a Charm!

See you there!

Sunday Sketches - Winter Wishes

Good Morning,

It's the Sunday before Thanksgiving and it's quite busy around The Studio.

My girls and I are watching The Grinch this morning - getting into the holiday spirit a little early!

I have been busy this week trying to finish up custom holiday orders for clients. 

Yes, I do a lot of custom work for people and this is a very busy time of year around here!

I am sharing one with you and my friends over at Sunday Sketches

that's just about finished -

Have a great Sunday, friends!

AND...I imagined what it might look like in my house...and this is what I came up with.

Turkey

I've got TURKEY on my mind this week - planning the Annual Thanksgiving menu is at the top of the agenda. I've got the usual suspects covered, but I am still trying to come up with some fun menu ideas. Any suggestions?
And, on another note, the girls and I went to Michael's Crafts to get some "turkey" things to make for the kids table  -  and the Manager told us they sold out of Thanksgiving things in August - And I actually thought I was planning ahead - oh well!

I will keep looking!

PS - I am just a bit obsessed with the color combo of purple, yellow and orange right now!

gobble, gobble!

On Being Thankful -

"When I started counting my blessings,

my whole life turned around"

Willie Nelson

"It is impossible to feel grateful and depressed

in the same moment"

Naomi Williams

I found these two quotes yesterday and just had to share them with you-

what are you grateful for today?

I know one thing, I am thankful for ALL of you!

Enjoy the day!

Sunday Sketches - My Christmas Card Idea

Hello!

It's that time of year again....when I start thinking about my Holiday card. Here's a sneak peek of a sketch I have been working on - I have a few more ideas, but I am liking the way this one is coming together. 

It includes just about all of my favorite things...the kids, my dog  and Santa....

OH!, and candy canes!

I am sharing this with my friends over at Sunday Sketches....

We are back from our trip and had a very relaxing time!

A little R&R is always good for the mind!

Have a great day!

Pop over here, for more Sunday Sketches!

Creative Tuesdays- Thanksgiving

GOBBLE GOBBLE

It's time for Creative Tuesday's.

The theme this week is Thanksgiving -

I am already busy preparing my guest list and my menu...

I think it may be one of my favorite meals of the year!

I mean, green bean casserole and mashed potatoes?

What could be better?

Now, I have this little Turkey to help inspire me, too !

See you over here, at Creative Tuesdays.

Sunday Sketches - Jack's Here!

Good Morning

It's time for Sunday Sketches over at The Blue Chair Diary -

We had a visitor this morning when we woke up...

Yes, Jack Frost  has cast his magic all over our front lawn...

It was simply beautiful!

So, my girls and I sat at the kitchen table and sketched for a bit, and this is what I came up with!

Has Jack been by your place, yet?

Happy Sketching....

My blog friends are SWEET

Solar Halo

by Christine

Last week my friend Christine, over at her blog, here

posted this AMAZING painting.

I fell in love with it!

 It was just so serene and beautiful and I imagined how lovely

 it would look in my home -

So, do you know what she did?

YES, she gave me the painting!

It came snail mail to me this week, and WOW,

do you know how excited I was?

And if I can only express how beautiful it is in real life!!!

It looks awesome in my house!

It's my new favorite!
