I am happy to say I have been included in the circle of talented artists of the wonderful group Spooky Time Jingles. This group was founded by Dani Nelson of Ambitious Designs and shows off the creative talents of artists creating Halloween and Christmas designs.
I am excited to be a member of this group because I have gradually been returning to my Halloween and Christmas figures and these talented artists certainly inspire me. So, be sure and check out their website for wonderful fun collectible items for your home and also check out their Spooky Time Jingles Blog to keep up with what they have been up to. I am excited...........I hope you will be too when you check out these wonderful artists.





We took a week's vacation along with my sister and her husband and traveled to Asheville, North Carolina. The drive from Mississippi to North Carolina was beautifull with views of the mountains and dogwood in full bloom and quaint little towns along the wayside. Our destination was to visit the magnificant home "Biltmore" built by George Washington Vanderbilt,III. We were not allowed to take pictures inside the home, but could take pictures anywhere on the grounds consisting of 8000 acres. I have divided my posts into two...one will be pictures of the exterior of the home showing the limestone carvings of statues and gargoyles. The stone cutters were the highest paid of all the construction workers when Biltimore was built. My second post will be pictures of the grounds and beautiful flowers.
