December 2025

Here’s a peek at what I have been creating this month Aside from the usual mayhem that December brings…I have also been working with a small group to do a Christmas Challenge. You can read more about it on my Substack at this link: Day 1 – Odd Stocking Revisiting an old “friend” that hasContinue reading “December 2025”

Carve December – Day 31

Yeah, today is the final day! Here is today’s stamp, which is inspired by my three flowering aloes. I never knew Aloes got flowers and mine must be pretty frisky because they keep flowering multiple times a year! I also took a photo of all of the stamps (all 31 of them!) and it’s niceContinue reading “Carve December – Day 31”

Carve December Day 29

I am really excited about today’s stamp. I just randomly drew the design based on my roses. I was thinking “rose hips” and voila! Here’s my design! I am also really excited that I only have two more stamps to carve, too! It was a tough month compounded by the additional twist of getting sick,Continue reading “Carve December Day 29”

Carve December Day 28

It was surprisingly nice enough outside today where I could sit and work in the open air, instead of from inside the house. It’s nice to sit outside again, it looks so pretty with all of our poinsettias back out. They were in the shed for a couple of days to protect them from theContinue reading “Carve December Day 28”

Merry Christmas!

Carve December Day 25 is a nod to Tom Hegg’s poem “A Cup of Christmas Tea.” YouTube has several versions of the author reading his poem. I recommended reading it and/or listening to it. I hope you all get the chance to have that cup of tea, (coffee, cocoa or whatever your warm beverage is)Continue reading “Merry Christmas!”

Carve December Day 24

It’s Christmas Eve and I feel much better than yesterday. I am also more coherent. 😂 I didn’t get my holiday baking done because I was sick on the days that I reserved for my baking, although I did bake a pie today so that we would have something for dessert. We staggered out theContinue reading “Carve December Day 24”

Carve December Day 22

Whew I am grateful I was able to get this one finished today. I came down with something (not CoVid). Felt like crap. Doc gave me some meds and I took a nap and I feel a little better so I did this stamp. For those of you that think Florida is always hot, weContinue reading “Carve December Day 22”

Carve December Day 21

I thought that creating a stamp with text would be a nice challenge. It certainly was. I forgot to reverse the text and the first cut had the text in the wrong direction.😂 The second version was much better. I also found another red stamp pad in my studio, which works just a little bitContinue reading “Carve December Day 21”
