Afternoon art time

Some afternoon’s I have time to sit down and play with the watercolours and paper/cards that I brought with me to Mexico.  There is very little room in my suitcase for art supplies but I manage to bring a few bits and bobs.

Admittedly I spend more time gazing at our amazing view. But on occasion I do manage to get in the zone and create. The dolphins were a lot of fun!

Christmas cards? I guess they will become part of a stock pile for next year. Maybe they will actually get sent to someone.

Christmas is just around the corner. Where did that year go?

Enjoy! May your Christmas be merry and full of love. Shared with those you love. Hold them near. Peace.


A little art

I have been making a few Christmas cards. I couldn’t possibly let Christmas go by without making them.

We will be in Mexico for Christmas this year. It will be very different for us. But you know what they say, a change is as good as a rest. It was or is time to change things up. Make new traditions.

All that being said I made cards anyway. I just won’t be sending any. A select few got my 2026 calendar, which I ordered early.

Over the years I have spent hours creating individual cards for our friends and family. Since we receive very few cards in return, it seems sending Christmas cards is becoming a thing of the past. That is rather sad. Sending and receiving the annual greeting was something to look forward to. It was often the only time you would hear from some people.

Traditions change as do we. Time continues to fly.

Enjoy my wintery scenes. I for one will continue to not miss snow.

Just settled down for a long winter’s nap….

I have been busily filling an order for 10 “one of a kind” Christmas cards. So far the little mouse settling down for a long winter’s nap and the happy snowman are my favorite. I will be making more to sell at a local store, Rikki Lou Who’s Gift Emporium. It’s situated downtown Salmon Arm on Alexander St. It’s a Christmas card assembly line and my imagination gets to work overtime. I love it!

Busy creating Christmas cards….

I have been creating Christmas cards as fast as I can. These are just a sampling of the ones I have made so far this year. No two are the same, ergo, “one of a kind”. This year my “one of a kind” cards are available for sale at Rikki Lou Who’s Gift Emporium downtown Salmon Arm BC. I am pleased to have this opportunity. Thank you for shopping local and supporting your local small business owners and artisans.

As always I hope my happy quirky critters make you smile.

December is a busy time

December is a busy time for everyone. This year I made almost 4 dozen Christmas cards. About 1/2 of them sold the rest were sent out to family and friends. Today we had our first major snow event of the season. That meant we needed to shovel snow off our houseboat. And of course what is December without a visit with the jolly old elf himself. And yes I have been good all year. No wish list involved. Just my hope that everyone stays safe and healthy this Christmas. Cheers Susan Feniak
