First off, I would like to again call on you all for prayer. This time for the families in the state of California. I was watching the news this evening and it is just unreal of what those folks are enduring with the terrible wild fires in their state. Thousands of acres have been destroyed from these wildfires and many have lost their homes and many are having to evacuate due to poor air quality from all the smoke and for risk of fire to their areas. Some of them have been turned away from motels because there are no vacancies as so many are having to evacuate. The winds are very strong and is just feeding the fire more and more. The firefighters are exhausted and still have such a battle ahead of them. Please remember these families and firefighters in prayer.

And now I would like to show you what I was up to today. Here is a set of Christmas ornaments that I painted up!


They sort of remind me of Victorian lady's boots or shoes.

I added some hand painted roses to them and silver glitter and topped them off with a pink organza ribbon hanger.



The set will be available on Ebay later on tonight. I hope to accomplish painting up some different ornaments tomorrow, so I hope you will stop back in tomorrow evening to see what is upcoming!
As always, I appreciate it so much when you stop in! Come back any old time!

Blessings,

Barbara
