That's NOT a hotdog!

How's that for an attention-grabbing title??!! Ha!  This big guy and his little boo boo should watch what they eat from the contents of my Honey Bee Vintage Picnic Basket...

Papa bear is from the Honey Bee Heart Hugs set - and 'Boo Boo' is the main body of the Hedgehog from the same set - pretty resourceful aren't I!  I adore this Vintage Picnic Basket in Plaid from their Holiday Wishes paper collection.  The Stamp Market provided the background - one of an old Halloween collection!  Those cattails were found in the Holiday Blooms die set from Spellbinder, and a few bits from HoneyBee's Winter Greenery set.

Sunday is a day for making - and this one really makes my spirits bright.  So does the bread Tom is baking - yum!  I am gifted the 'heel' which I always eat warm with butter and white sugar in honor of my dad.

Thanks so much for dropping by - YOU also brighten my spirits!

Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge #51

I'm going to let the Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge #51 speak for itself this morning...

... I was particularly drawn to that top left photo - but you'll see my love of grey just couldn't be tamped down today so I borrowed from the steely blue-grey of the park bench below it...

Studio Katia provided the fireplace 'screen' that I backed with acetate...

My sign above the fireplace was made with a piece of washi tape that I've had for years - undoubtedly found on the clearance rack at Hobby Lobby!

Two of those sweet stockings that were a freebie die set from Waffle Flower were hung with care, and a bit of Spellbinders greenery and my card elements were mounted on another successful pressing of that Honey Bee embossing plate!  It reminds me of the tin walls and ceilings of a favorite candy shop in Newburgh, NY!

I'd better get this one delivered to P.O.E. before I miss the deadline - thanks for stopping by!
