Hand made Christmas Ornaments!!!!!

Christmas ornaments that I made yesterday. Mini canvas paintings as ornaments which can be hung on christmas tree. These are 3" x 3" frames which I painted with acrylics. These ornaments will be gifts to my daughter's teachers. My 5 year old made some drawings for them and we used it as the gift wrap covers. To add more to the theme, we painted juniper bush leaves with red and blue acrylic paints and used corrugated cardboard sheets for name tags.

wishing all my readers wonderful holiday!!!!

Its Christmas here every day!!!!!

If you need to shop for Christmas, this is the place you must visit. This is Bronner's in Frankenmuth, Michigan's little bavarian town. I absolutely love this place. Frankenmuth is definitely a great place for a weekend retreat. You can shop, eat fabulous food, tour breweries and have coffee at some of the best coffee shops european style. Its a great place to unwind from the usual routine!  After walking in the town center the whole afternoon you must not leave this town without visiting the famous store BRONNERS


Bronners is the World's largest Christmas store. A shopper's dream with over 50,000 trims and gifts. Bronner's amazing store is the size of 1 and 1/2 football fields. It is open 361 days a year.  One can spend the whole evening in this shop. They have 6000 styles of ornaments (from fruit themed, drink themed, animals, dolls, cars, angels, sport themed you name it! they have it!) different kinds of dolls, nativity scenes from all the countries, lights of various kinds, christmas trees, and I can go on and on.


There is still time if you want to shop for your loved ones this christmas. I have been here twice already and dont mind going again and again. Oh yes I have to mention this. The staff who work here are the best!!!!I hope my pictures do the talking.

Hope you all enjoyed these pictures. Have a great weekend!!!!!!

I am reading a lot of books lately. Mostly on Old Masters in Painting. But this weekend I got to read two lovely books. They are new books on mixed media and watercolour techniques.  The first one is called DRAWING LAB by Carla Sonheim....One word to describe the book Excellent!!!!

The second one is by Heather Smith Jones. Its called WATER PAPER PAINT. Such a colourful book. Loved the cover!!!! Very creative... And there's my favourite Artist Geninne's work featured in both of these books !!!!
