* Out and About and more Christmas packages

Big book sale today at the library.  Found some great stuff for collage, backgrounds, etc.  In fact, in the end, I had to put the pile of books down and make choices.  An old art book, one on the history of print (fabulous graphics), two beautiful old covers for journals, and a vintage hymn book full of music.  I'm happy!

We then walked across the street Juan's for breakfast.  YUM.  Such a great place to sit out in the courtyard, enjoying the sun and fresh air, eating a wonderful yummy breakfast enjoying each others company.



Stopped for the mail after wandering the streets and doing a little shopping.  My mail box was full, and among the things which arrived was Valerie's Christmas gift from Germany!  Thank you dear Valerie.  You spoil me.  
Isn't that fun?  I especially love the tag.  The TH trees are so impressive!  Included is a package of special stamping paper by la Blanche.  I've never tried that before, so I'm interested to see how it is.

Arrived home and cleaned up the studio.  It was a pretty big mess and I simply can't begin another project in the chaos of an old project.  I might even get back to my painting ... I think "Expect Miracles" is getting a little impatient!

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you are having wonderful creative times in your lives.  By the looks of your blogs, you are!  xxoo  Donna

Kathleen and Ivan are enjoying their stay and Kathleen looks so happy. You no doubt have a big smile on your face too.

I love library sales and you found some treasures for sure.

Enjoy each day -- I cleaned windows so no art for me.

Hugs,
Carolyn

PS Great package from Valerie; she'll be pleased to know it finally arrived.

I told you before, Donna, I love your photos where you capture your everyday. I enjoy seeing all those colors and it seems there always so much energy around. :) And to answer you question, I use Faber Castell's india Ink Pens. They are awesome! :)
