Moving

December seems to be the time for me to make changes and new resolutions. It was December two years ago that I opened my second Etsy shop. Why wait until January when I can get a head start a month earlier, eh? ;)

The art journaling I've periodically featured on my blog has moved to Wordpress, come along! I've named my new blog "My Creative Muse" and will focus primarily on art journaling and the creative process.

Bookbinding topics can be found on my Emerson Bindery blog.

I'll keep the Studio B/UberArt blog around but I just feel like I need a fresh start. I've been rather directionless and without a clear theme here, yammering about whatever comes to mind. The Christmas posts I do here have been very popular but as much as I love Christmas, that isn't my passion--I want my posts to come from my heart. I hope y'all will transition with me and enjoy my new theme!

Twelve Days of Christmas Trees: Day 12

The final day of my series!

My own Christmas tree

My theme this year is purple

My Greyhound Pup

In memory of my Cocker Spaniel

Even though he's not purple, I love putting birds throughout my tree.
See the peacock peeking from behind? :)

And thus concludes my Christmas Tree decor series. I hope you enjoyed it. Merry Christmas!

Twelve Days of Christmas Trees: Day 11

My theme for day 11...well, perhaps it's the economy (I'll blame it on that) but my little Christmas warehouse didn't have enough trees for twelve features. So, today I'm going to show you some of the decorating ideas they had around the store.

 A family tree!

I love this footstool. It looks like it belongs in an English library, complete with wooden walls and ceilings, paintings of hunting scenes, and leather bound books on the shelves.

I'm doing a little series featuring a different Christmas tree or holiday decor for a period of 12 days. There's a little holiday shop nearby which is a favorite haunt of mine during this time of year. They have multitudes of fabulous decorator trees, done up in different themes. I brought my camera along to show you all the great ideas. Stay tuned for the next installment, the final day 12, where I will have my own tree featured.

Twelve Days of Christmas Trees: Day 10

I'm going to stay with the candy theme, as a continuation from Day 9. Here are some cute candy-themed decorations...not exactly a Christmas tree, but Christmas decor, nonetheless!

I had to take this little elf's picture. He reminds me of a boy I knew in elementary school named Kevin!

Twelve Days of Christmas Trees: Day 8

Today's themed Christmas tree feature is Under the Sea.

 I only took two pictures of this designer tree, so I'll show you another tree I saw using the same theme...

 This one has a ginormous octopus as the tree topper!

Twelve Days of Christmas Trees: Day 5

 Day five's theme is Peace and Love. This theme would be great for a teen's dorm room! It's very colorful with all the hot pink, purple, turquoise blue, and lime green.

Twelve Days of Christmas Trees: Day 4

Make it Merry is the theme for day 4 of my Christmas tree series.

I would have never thought to use red, white, and blue for Christmas but it works on this tree!
