About Me and my Creativity.
I paint in oils and watercolor. I play intermediate national tournament Scrabble. Knitting, gardening, crafts, sewing and creating fun knick-knacks are favorite pastimes, and those projects are shared here. Life accomplishments include 25 yr. in health administration, the rearing of two adult daughters, living with several animals (currently two small, mischievous female dogs) and one most excellent husband who also writes a daily blog about living the Grand Life in Grand Junction, Colorado. I have a Master's Degree in Health Administration from The University of Colorado, and a B.S. in Rehabilitation Counseling. I lost both breasts to cancer in 2003 and am now living cancer-free.

I have close to twenty of these icons and group them together for a Christmas display, along with miniature lights, crystal and silver ornaments, and sometimes candles.

Here is a thought on this type arrangement from Holiday-guide regarding tradition and whimsy:… Continue

Chocolate Spoons


Isn't it odd that we often do not take our own advice? Case in point: my motto (sorta) is to "Make it Yourself", yet when it came to finding some chocolate covered spoons to give with my coffee mocha unique-edible-gifts-in-jar, I had a dickens of a time finding any.

Hi Nancy

Welcome to Creative Cafe. I have been to your blog and applied for an ad and sent you 100 points for joining us. Thanks for all the contributions you have made already as well. Those ornamental holiday balls look amazing!

At this stage I usually explain about how you can change your page theme and add photos blogs etc on Creative Cafe but I see you have worked out most things yourself! That is great. If you do want any help with anything just ask by leaving a comment on my page.
I will also put a link up to your blog on my page and hope to be one of your regular visitors. Will hope to catch up and get to know you better soon.

Bye for Now
Jill
