Paint It Any Color But Black

What did you do on Black Friday?

Macy's?
I think not. I enjoy a holiday as much as the next person but really...all this commercialism and shopping to just too much.
I opt out.
Here's what I do instead.....

READ STUFF
Morning coffee with some reading -- good way to start the day.
I'm reading:
Flirting With French by William Alexander
Mastering the Art of French Eating by Ann Mah
The Stories We Tell by Patti Callahan Henry
The Painting Workshop by Alena Hennessy
&
Sinfully Easy Delicious Desserts by Alice Medrich

All from the fabulous SF Public Library and all good.
I can definitely vouch for the baking book.
Trust me.

MAKE STUFF

I got out my Gelli printing stuff and got busy making stuff....so much fun. Put some music on and play with paint and the times flies by.


Listening to my two favorite holiday CD's -- both by Over The Rhine a group I really really like.
Snow Angels & Blood Oranges in the Snow.
Both really good.
And have you heard of The Civil Wars? Apparently popular group  few years ago who are now broken up but the CD I got from the library is quite good.

Printed on some plain white gift bags from Diaso....that was fun..

Some tags.....they can go inside the bags...


Cards and papers.....now I have a stockpile to play with...

A much better use of my time than the mall.....not that I ever actually go to malls but you get the idea....

MAKE STUFF
Worked on some Holiday gifts.....

This one is for me......

WRAP STUFF
I enjoy wrapping gifts when I'm not rushed or have too many things to wrap all at once...


WRAP STUFF


EAT STUFF
My pal invited us over for a wonderful lunch up in the wine country and I felt like I took a little trip to France.


DRINK STUFF
When in the wine country...or France...you know what you've got to do.....

LOOK AT STUFF
Take a walk and look around.....

So, there it is -- my Black Friday. Not a store in sight.

And, thanks to all of you lovely folks who read and commented on my last post. WOW!
I think there were 29 comments.
I could sure get used to that. Keep 'em coming! That is the way to keep me going and working on the blog. It is so much appreciated and really means a lot. I'm feeling the love.
Questions? Ideas for posts? Comments?
All good.
I have so many projects to work on I think I better say good-bye and get busy.
Now tell me about you!
What was your Black Friday like? And are you all doing today?
