Thank you Nicky from Nicky Bee Shop on etsy for featuring my Gingerbread Surprise card in this delicious Treasury!
(I'm down there in the middle of the bottom row.)
I painted that piece for my Christmas card a few years back. Its one of the few pieces I have that's all done in watercolors. I love painting that way, and don't know why I don't do more of it! Colored pencils have kind of taken over lately, but I think I'll go back to doing more painting this coming year. Yes, I definitely will.
Nicky has some really cool things in her shop. I love this cookie tin full of Christmas cookie ornaments!
People on etsy are so clever. I'm always amazed at people's ideas and creativity and productiveness (is that a word?).
I'm great at thinking up cool ideas, then tend to poop out before they actually get made. You could (and I have) spent hours looking at all the wonderfully crafty things on etsy. Very inspiring!
I'm baking today, finally.
Two pans of shortbread are in the oven as we speak. Peanut butter cookie dough is chilling and will get baked next. After that its my famous chocolate cookies which are actually Martha's recipe, but don't tell anyone. As for gingerbread, well, we'll see.
The house is smelling really good and the kitchen floor has a good dusting of flour and sugar on it, perfect for sand dancing (you know, the old soft shoe).

I love forward to seeing your watercolours in 2009!
Glad to see that you are getting down to your baking. I agree, a flour covered kitchen floor is perfect for some old soft shoe moves. Kind of a shame to have to clean it up! :-)
Your watercolor is lovely! I get tired of how slowly colored pencil goes, so have moved more and more thoroughly into almost exclusively watercolor now.
And now I think I need to go make gingerbread...
A random compliment-y comment... Paula, I just LOVE your blog! It is so much fun, and interesting, and informative -- and inspiring! And your writing has such a great 'voice.' I really feel as if I know you (though not in a creepy stalker-ish way). Keep up the coolness -- and happiest of holidays to you! Your fan, rebecca
