One more tonight...

Ok so we also had a little get together to make "gingerbread houses." Fun was had by all...I think. We had candy and Christmas music and even an ugly sweater! Then to end the Christmas festivities we watched Dark Knight. :)





























My awesome hat was not part of the festivities but it should have been!

O Christmas Tree...

How lovely are your branches. So lovely. Mom, Scott, Megan and I went and got our Christmas trees Saturday. It is Scott and Megan's first tree together. Can I get an "awwww?" So cute. Anyways it was really cold and muddy, but we had fun!

Artemisia Gentileschi...

I had forgotten how much I enjoy learning about art and artists. I was 'helping' Amanda last night with her art history paper, when the spark inside rekindled. (Like that?) :) Many moons ago in my art history class I did a report on Artemisia Gentileschi and her painting, Judith and Her Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes. She was one of the only women painters at that time and was ridiculed for it. Her father was an artist as well. I just love the way she paints, how she uses shadows and such. So here are a few of her paintings. Enjoy!
