Love this post - so many varied and fun things! Your tags are dynamite - I'm especially fond of the one with the little girl in front of the trees...charming! Your grandkids are adorable ... and I'm soooo jealous of your aluminum '60's tree! I've always wanted one so I could over-decorate-and-embellish a slew (a slue? anyway) of 1960's spiked high heels to use for ornaments and plastic pop-beads for garland!
Fab post, so much to see, and loved the photos of your family having fun, great shots! Your art is lovely, too, as always. That storm looks BAAAAD. Good that you were safe at home. Hugs, Valerie
WOW...that's a lot of snow...fun and not so fun...lol! Thanks for the digi image too. And as for your tags...gorgeous! I LOVE the old world style and the bright pop of blue against the red...beautiful!
Jackie, I can't believe all that snow. I'm so glad it hasn't done that down here. I'm loving the photos of all the fun you had with the grands! Too cute. Tell Riley I love his tinsel ears!!!! LOL Loving the sneak peaks and can't wait to see more.
Haha, Chum squeezed in the middle - so funny! My son is into Snapchat as well - he get hours of entertainment out of it! Cute grandkids - they are much more fun at that age than when they are little! That must have been quite a storm! Which reminds me - I posted your packet a week ago Monday - hopefully it's well on the way now and won't get delayed by the snow. It should be arriving soon! I totally dig those abstract textures - especially the one with the crackle! Happy arting!
What a great post! Amazing tags, just amazing and what a sweet and lively family you have. Thanks for the freebie and links. Hugs, Autumn
Dear Jackie,
wonderful photos, -your tags of Christmas are beautiful, and I can see you had so much fun with the
grandkids, lucky you.
And lucky you, with all the classes you are taking, I wish you great fun, my friend, your creations looks fantastic, and love the crackle.
Dorthe, xoxoX
Wonderful art and lovely fun photos of the family! My daughter made us dogs with this app as well and gifted me the photo for motherday, we always have so much fun with her funny apps as well! Enjoy your workshops - great with Sanda- I love her style as well!
Thank you for the freebie!
That storm looks bad - uah!

Hello Jackie, I think we all need a rest after Thanksgiving. I just hit tired today but getting ready to run to work. I love your signature style Christmas cards. They remind me so much of the spirit of you. Geez Golly a snow storm? We've had mild weather. Yesterday 60 degrees. Hope we can chat in person soon! I want to hear more about the classes. Cheers- and here's to melting snow... Hugs-Darlene
Gorgeous projects, Jackie and beautiful artwork. It sure looks like you had fun over Thanksgiving! x
Oh, lots of lovely art! I love your traditional Christmas tags. The work from the class looks so amazing too. I love the fun shots of your family. Dear Chum too, always a part of things! Our cat Daisy always wants to bite our tree and any branches we bring in to decorate! xx
Oh wow such fun and that storm looked yucky, love your Christmas art too and glad to see Chum on the job lol
Good grief, that is some strange weather. It's like you live is Canada or something! lol
I'm glad you can rest and make art and have so much fun with your family. And thank you for the awesome stamp, Jackie!
Helo bella, as always, your posts are so cheerful and vibrant. Love your cards, and the gorgeous background from your course, these are so promising :-)
Brilliant post. Great art and lots of fun too, what could be better. Happy crafting, Angela xXx
Your tags are so beautiful Jackie, I love that little girl with the red jacket on! Looks like you had a wonderful holiday. Have to admit, I am jealous of the snow you got. I just love winter and it seems like we don't get snow any more up here, just lots of rain and then more rain Last year it only snowed three times and it was always gone within 48 hours, didn't use our snow shovel a single time!! hugs :)
I can see how lovely and nice time you have had.
Have you still snow? Or have got more?
Of course always you have a little time for your beautiful art
Fabulous tags, Jackie. Loved seeing your family enjoying themselves. Always nice. Hugs, Barbara
haha, it looks like you had lots of fun with your grands :-) I love your colourful journalpages and can't wait to see more when completed!
Oh, dear, it looks like I'm late! Jackie, this is one amazing post! I loved seeing your artwork--those tags are so pretty and festive!, but most of all I loved seeing the photos of your family enjoying Thanksgiving and all the fun! And that SNOW ! Amazing! I am laughing out loud, because of the card I sent you...I think you are not going to like me too much when all is said and done! Tee Hee! Hopefully the postman will be able to make it to your door! Love, love, LOVE your sneak peaks! You are a fabulous artist! Sending hugs! Hopefully I can get an email off to you in the next day or two, too. But for now, it's off to work! Mwah!
I tried to find a way to contact you and hopefully you will get this comment. I wanted to share with you what I did with the Santa digital image you shared on this post. I collect Santa's and I couldn't resist this one!
