I just finished all the little finicky things around my site like adjusting the margins and moving my profile from the left over to the right. I’m tellin’ ya none of that went down without me throwing fits with html! I continue to say that I’m through with html and then I dive right back into the slurry mess. However, I love those light bulb moments and I believe one of these days I will embrace html.
In other news: I plan on picking up my pencils next week and I’m looking forward to drawing and getting back into my “zone”. I especially like the part that I’ll be giving this drawing to
I’m debating another free drawing and this time I get to keep something. But it will depend on how much interest there is out there to participate. I’m thinking of launching the next Christmas Gallery Days Giveway around the end of October. Here’s how it would work – I’m looking for a Christmas theme picture. Anything Christmas and the deal is the person I select once again gets the piece of art but I will get to make copies and print out our Christmas Cards this year. I think it is plenty early enough to have this project finished by the end of November but I will need a lot of interest or I will have to come up with something myself. If you have any thoughts or suggestions I’m open, talk to me.
OHHH!
Christmas in the country
A Christmas Tree on the back of an old modeled car or pick up.
Of course the nativity
Angel speaking to Mary of the “news”
Wisemen in travels
the gifts
the manger animals
Christ the King as a Baby
village with the star high in the sky as a focus
santa reading a book to a child in her or his PJS (woke up from sleep to find him)
Santa setting gifts under a well decorated tree
Christmas in the ismands (island home on the water with stars in the sky, palms siloetted)
wildlfie Christmas
Birds (and or other animals) decorating a CHristmas tree in the woods
Cardinal with a spray of Christmas greenery in its beak
front door with decor
old barn with muted tones and a vibrant wreath(s) on its doors
I am sure I will think of more…..
Your blog looks GREAT! I will let you know if I come up with any good ideas. How fun!
I love your suggestions leigh! Several of these ideas leaped off the page and into my heart. Thank you!
Thank you Tanya.
You are the most generous artist I’ve ever come across! And Leigh’s ideas are really fabulous, I couldnt come up with anything. Creativity doldrums right here! 🙂
I love this idea! So you’re looking for ideas for pictures or actual pictures? I think Leigh’s suggestions are wonderful. I don’t look at Christmas as a religious holiday because we aren’t told to and because we aren’t really sure when it was, but here are some non-religious ideas if you’re interested! 🙂
Snow-covered cottage in the woods all lit up on the outside and inside with lights. Tree visible from the window. Smoke from the chimney – deer in the front yard.
A coffee cup sitting on the table of a cafe – picture looking onto a snow-covered street and town square Christmas tree.
A front porch covered with snow and a red door adorned with a bright green wreath.
I’m out of ideas for now 🙂
Wow, what a great idea! I don’t know that I’d have any photos to enter, I’d have to do some more digging, but I really love the idea!

Thank you Liz.
Hey Jamie and Marge. I was hoping to get more interest in sharing photos for another Gallery Days Giveaway. So I think I’m on my own for our Christmas cards this year unless we can drum up some more interest.
I’ll continue on with Gallery Days Giveaways after I’m all caught up and perhaps I’ll have another one before I start on our Christmas Cards.
Blessings – Debbie
