The Recipe
I didn't have potatoes,
so I substituted with rice,
I didn't have paprika,
so I used another spice,
I didn't have tomatoe sauce,
so I used tomatoe paste,
A whole can, not just half,
I don't believe in waste,
A friend gave me this recipe,
she said you couldn't beat it,
I don't know what's wrong with her
I couldn't even eat it! :)

Preparing for Christmas!

I am done with my must do items and finally can get started on preparing for Christmas! It's relief and none too soon as I promised to paint all my greeting cards this year. It's a resolution I've kept so all the birthday and anniversary cards I sent this year have been 5 x 7 watercolor paintings.

I've started the Christmas Greetings and here are a few samples...I just need about 40 to cover my list!

On the Cliff



Holly



...To the Woods



Creek Melt



A little Fog, a little Snow...
Happy Christmas from the Oregon I know!


I have added a couple original greeting cards to my Etsy shop.
Just in case you're looking for a little something special.




Winter Greetings



Winter Greetings 2


You know I'll be painting for the next several days...Oh, and cooking a Thanksgiving Feast.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

It's Getting to Look A Lot Like Christmas....



Like prim? Here's a primitive handpainted decorative piece. Painted on a wooden sled. It's 6 inches and ready for hanging. I just love the flag waving snowman with the crow on top! :)
