Ramblings, Theme Thursday & ArtyGirls

2-08keychain, originally uploaded by Collage Contessa.

* This keychain meets the requirements for today's Theme Thursday challenge of Warm Colors. I just love orange! * Honestly, I had this new keychain slated to head to Etsy, but I'm not sure I can part with it. It sure came out purty in my opinion. It might be headed to my keys instead! Used collage images from AlteredPages. A couple other items headed to Etsy for sale though, so go see!

Busy busy day. Woke up with a sick child, almost fainted on me. Oh my word, how scary is that?! She was very weak and seems to have the normal cold/flu. So, fun day for her. Soups, tea and lots of movies. Watched classics such as Pollyanna, Escape to Witch Mountain (and its sequel) and the ever favorite Spongebob (*cough* Yuck *cough*).

When I wasn't helping the oldest do her homeschooling, I played in the art room. Made a few things that I'm happy with (the keychain above) and this necklace. This lovely green creation also qualifies for this week's ArtyGirls challenge of GREEN! I'm so happy to finally be participating in ANY challenges again!

For those waited with baited breath (HA!) for the crown... I worked on it too. Not ready to post it yet, but I'm 'almost' there! YAY!

They're predicting snow again tomorrow (pics are from Sunday's snowstorm). What's up in your part of the world?!
