Too much time on my hands maybe?

During the holidays
I didn't:

Do any painting



or stitching


or drawing, but

I did a lot of cooking, and eating, and
my family and I worked several jigsaw puzzles!
I'm thinking maybe too many.
When I look in the mirror now I look kind of funny.

I hope to be back to normal soon because I have a grand idea for my very first linky party!
Whimsy and I will work on the idea and unveil it soon!
Maybe as early as Friday!!!






Edited to add:
I had fun making these pictures by playing around with a couple of free on-line photo editing sites and using the handiest photo I had to edit ~ my profile picture. (Here are the sites in case you want to try them: Photofunia.com   Pho.to.com


Sorry you were offended, Anonymous (see comments).

  4. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment Friends!

    Elaine, did you make a real cross stitch or was yours done through photo editing like mine? I'd love to see it!

    Ricki Jill, be sure to come back by on Friday. I hope to get the linky up by then!

    Cindy, that IS my clothesline and it gets quite a bit of use!

  6. Well you obviously like yourself!
    A photograph, a painting, a stitching, a drawing, a jigsaw - looks like a bad case of vanity to me.

    Anonymous, I'm sorry you were offended by this. It was all done in fun. ~ Sherry

  8. I think your anonymous may well be the same one I had, I made the mistake of publishing the comment and it got worse. Sorry if she got to you through me. Check out mine 31st Jan I think then there was another....
    Sad lives some people lead.
    Yours however is fun and I love it.

  10. Oh, Sherry! Those photos are so fun!
    I've messed around with Photofunia. I made myself into a hockey player there!
    You're the cutest! I'm excited to find out about your linky idea!

  12. These are so awesome! I can't wait until my husband wakes up so I can show him your post ;) I see you've got an anonymous discourager...did you know that you can change your blogger settings to only allow posts by people with enough integrity to leave a link back to their info? Let me know if you need help with changing that setting.

    Have a lovely day!

    Sarah
