CAPTURE THE LIGHT ~ This is another small ACEO size painting, and I'm also trying to work on one similar in a larger size on a stretched canvas. I am so used to painting small ones that it's hard to do the same style in larger sizes sometimes! No sparkly glitter in this one, although I was very tempted hehe!

Has anyone seen the movie 'Polar Express'? I absolutely love that movie!! The Family Channel has been running it every night and I had it on for the 4th time this evening. My daughter and her boyfriend watched it with us last night. What a wonderful movie with spectacular animation and sound effects!! I think watching that movie will be a yearly holiday tradition for me. Another tradition is making the homemade decorated Christmas cookies with confectioner's sugar colored icing. I have to make a couple batches this week!!

Hey Babs, that recipe sounds so mouth watering, I love oatmeal, raisins and pecans!! I bet Jack will love the little ones! Rob has been hinting around that he is ready for the Christmas cookies so I have that in the plans this week. I am painting the 4 seasons for someone else and she wanted this one as the winter one (without the glitter) so now I only have 3 to go. I've got paint up to my elbows tonight LOL, I love it!! :)

Yeah, they start hinting real early about those cookies,,,J. is already asking also!
:-)
I have a great recipe for the oatmeal,,let me know if you'd like to have it.

Pretty tree. Maybe you should set up an easel with a large canvas and leave it up. Dont try to complete it in one setting.

I like to use cake decorating tools on cookies.

Babs, I would love to have the recipe!! I had bought some pecans for Thanksgiving for the sweet potato recipe. I didn't know if I should store them in the fridge or not but there's still some left. Whew, they have gotten expensive! Thanks Janet, that's a good idea. I did hang the larger one on the wall in my painting room. I'm still not sure where to go with it though, still thinking on it and looking.

Hey Lynn.
I will email you the recipe.
I always freeze pecans,,,,and they do well! My brother in law has a friend with pecan trees, and I always get a nice big bag of them from him, and pop them into the freezer.
