Well, all the decorations are down, the house has been cleaned as well as my studio and I feel like I'm starting the new year well organized, which is a good feeling. I'm approaching 2011 with a minimalist attitude. I redesigned the blog to make it easier to leave a comment, took away the music and cleaned up the sidebar content.
For the month of January, I'm going to do a little experiment..... I call it "frittering", it's extreme Twittering. I can only use 4 words to talk about a picture I post. I call it "frittering" because I'm going to try not to fritter away a lot of time this year!
Thank you to all the followers and visitors who have stopped by the Honey Girl Studio to check out what has been going on this year. I appreciate your comments and enjoy reading them! I see I'm at 200 followers (I'm a dork and inadvertently became a follower of my own blog as I was screwing around with the dashboard settings and now I don't know how to remove myself!) so the 201st person to become a follower is going to get a little art surprise sent to them!
So let me start my Frittering now by leaving you with these words......
Happy New Year!

We set off across the field heading toward the woods but it was the last day of deer season and I thought we'd better stick to the fields.
Just look at the remarkable blue sky!
I had a little assistance, if you can call it that. This guy was very helpful with his super long arms, he could easily hold onto the bead garland. 
This dude was no help what so ever, he kept giving everyone this shy sideways glance and kept wishing then "Happy Holidays!". These snowmen are a hard bunch to work with, they are VERY unfocused.
Ok so I, by myself got the greens on the matel and started to place the dark green glass balls and large metal jingle bells when this guy started to poke me in the nose with his aluminum tree.
Well, I finally just finished but not without somebody getting stuck in the gumbal machine.....
Sunshine climbed into the gumball machine and got stuck. He then yelled out for me to bring him his snow, bottle brush tree and red and silver balls. I think he's planning on hanging out there until after the holidays.
It's really very easy. Here's what you need. A sheet of white cardstock with the face printed on it in the center, a package of microwave popcorn, a pair of the magic gloves (you know the little ones that stretch out when you put your hands in them), tape and a piece of 7 ribbon about 7 inches long.
This is the face I made with Photoshop, you can use it, lick it, sell it for a gizillion dollars, eat chicken off of it, give it away, put in on a shirt or the back of a pair of boxers, shoot, I really don't care how you use it because I'M GIVING IT TO YOU. 
Insert it into a Word document, set the margins to zero for the top and the bottom. Center the face, you will be able to get 2 onto an 8.5 by 11 inches piece of paper. Cut the paper in between the two faces. Wrap one of the papers with the face around the popcorn packet overlapping the edges and tape it in the back. Stuff one of the gloves up into the other glove, slide it onto the top of the snowman's head and tie a piece of ribbon right below the fingers. Attach a tag to it and ta-da.....Christmas munches for the chow-hound! I was thinking that you could also tape together a few packets of hot chocolate and put the snowman face wrapper around them.
