Frosty Frightcicle


Frosty Frightcicle has just finished decorating his tree for his favorite holiday, Halloween. All his little jack-o-lanterns are in place and now he just needs the finishing touch, a candy corn tree topper. The only problem is, Frosty is just a tad too short for the job so he's desperately hoping that the tree will bend just a tad farther so he can reach it.

Folk Art From The Heart has a new look!



I was visiting a shop in down town Walnut Creek with my husband one day, and the moment I walked in I was immediately happy. All the colors were so vivid and beautiful. And even though the items themselves weren't exactly my style, I knew I could adopt the painting technique and make it my own. So that's what I did. I started with Emily, the Celebrate Angel, and moved on from there. She looks so much better in her new clothing, now she really has something to Celebrate!

Check out my Etsy or my Website to see the rest of the changes!
