An especially busy time for moms managing home making, and childcare, making halloween costumes, cooking turkeys and buying Christmas presents plus holding down full time jobs on top of everything.

One at a time please.<br />My funniest experience was walking into our local mall in April and seeing it decked out for Christmas! That was so bizarre! Turns out, they were filming a movie - Mall Cop. <br /><br />Wonderful work!

Normally, in exchange I like to visit your blogs and see what great things are happening out there. But while I'm here...<br /><br />Andrew, ha ha, you make me laugh! I also see a cacophony of images, and possibly a maelstrom, too!<br /><br />Jane, you are so nice to ask about the illos. They all sit on my desk until I put them away into a dark portfolio, until somebody wants to see them again. One day, they hope to serve a more useful purpose!<br /><br />Missy, Mery and Heather, thanks to each of you for noticing individual details! I'm glad to share them with you!<br /><br />Calbers, we are both confused! So many choices! So little time!<br /><br />Thanks again, blogging friends! :o)michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354005893364951302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029752499467143851.post-25582368537561468832010-10-21T13:27:41.901-07:002010-10-21T13:27:41.901-07:00wow, that is scary, I was just commenting how it s...wow, that is scary, I was just commenting how it seems that they start putting out Christmas stuff earlier and earlier every year. Maybe it's always this way and I am newly surprised by it each time. Anyway, great piece and thanks for the visit and the very kind comments about my daughter and I. It is a family thing, my dad was an artist, my sister is an artist and all of my kids are talented too.

I was painting cross eyed and wasn't completely satisfied with the spookiness.

I think all 3 statements are pretty spooky! Here in the UK Halloween is really not that big but I sometimes find stores putting their christmas decs up for sale at the end of summer...seriously!<br />Now I really LOVE christmas but I do not start getting into the swing until after Guy Fawkes night (5th Nov). Then I really do get into the mood....can't wait!<br />PS as a passing comment, what do you do with all these lovely IF illustrations?? Do you have a special keepsake file etc?<br />Have a great week and I'm glad you liked my Halloween glass goodies on my blog.<br />Take care,<br />Love Jane xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11742664269417361941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029752499467143851.post-19321353628309094882010-10-21T00:24:07.921-07:002010-10-21T00:24:07.921-07:00Hey well I pick b.

I hate Christmas lucky it comes but once a year - trouble is it's all year ! :)<br /><br />Oh I used to have a practice in a big shopping centre - you think you like Christmas Carols ---- the eight hundredth time you hear them isn't so great ! Humbug.<br /><br />Heh, just kidding. Wow what a great idea it's just a cacophony of images racing down the page - all icons hey and mixed up.Andrew Finniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08877768852340470022noreply@blogger.com
