  3. How sweet are they??? I love the redo! It must be wonderful to be able to paint like you do! I would probably buy some from Target, but now I wouldn't be satisfied with them without the blush and the redone eyes! tee hee!

  10. That little snoman is so cute. An the "charms" are great. You could do a number of things with those. Go for it! Hope you aren't blowing or floating way out there. The storms can quit anytime now!! At least I've been able to collect some choice little mossy branches for spring projects. Hope we can get together one day soon. M.

  12. Hey Laurie,

    You with a paint brush in your hand reminds me of myself when I get ahold of pruning shears - ha ha! Nothing is safe!

  17. Oh, I see what you mean about the eyes! They no longer look like misplace "boobies" on the sides of the head instead of where they belong, LOL! Great eyes...where did they have them "done"? LOL Who's their surgeon? Can you tell I live in So Cal??? Well, I just wanted to say I got your fabulous package yesterday! I was so excited to get it and saw that you had painted on the package! I can't open it until there is the perfect light in order to snap some pics of it and then I'll open it...cuz ya know I gotta blog about it!!!

  19. Great idea! I may have to go back to Pier 1 now... They had some 75% off Thansgiving figurines at a ridiculously reduced prices but the faces weren't very appealing.
