Christmas Drawing
Here is the second picture that my youngest grandaughter drew for me to put on my blog. She's 11 yrs. old. So cute!!! This was done in the Paint program too.
Christmas Drawing
Well, my grandaughters were visiting this weekend and spent a lot of time on my computer and I came to check on them to see what was up, and the oldest one who is 13 likes to draw pictures in my Paint program. I couldn't believe how good her drawings were and told her she should keep up with this, that someday she could be an artist drawing pictures for books or even cartoons! I asked her to draw me a Christmas picture and this is what she came up with. I told her I wanted to put it on my blog.
She did all of this with the mouse. I could never draw pictures like this on my computer!! Cute!

Traditional Christmas Windows
Here are some photos of the traditional style of Christmas window display that's delighted generations of kids -- that were on display at the Hudson's Bay department store, in Toronto; the Hudson's Bay's history dates back to 1670, to the earliest North American trading posts.

Animated Christmas Window Displays
I've always been fascinated with animated window store displays. I've only seen them on television and movies because where I live we have nothing like this! They are so beautiful!!
Poinsettia Plant
My hubby was out and about yesterday, and came home with a beautiful poinsettia for me from the florist's shop! He's thoughtful like that sometimes! I had to put it on the top of my microwave because I have two cats who like to chew on plants, and I don't think they will try to get up there since there are other things on top and no room for them....at least they had better not try it.....!!! Here are pictures of it and a beautiful angel that my mother made for me a long time ago.
