"What Lies Within" by Alicia Art Shop

Inching in some quality time with family and art!

Downtown Lancaster, PA on Friday for the annual Mayor's Tree Lighting event.

I love living in Lancaster, PA! Where else can you greet Santa Claus with free Egg Nog and Apple Cider at the local Marriott Hotel, take in a tree lighting and community sing-along of holiday tunes with the town's local brass band, do a little window shopping in 100 year old downtown shops and local Central Farmer's Market and end it all by trying out some of the new wooden toys at the local TellUs360 shop. My mother, sister-in-law, niece and I inched our way through large crowds on Friday evening at the annual Mayor's Tree Lighting Event. If you're ever in PA you must come visit Lancaster, a gem of a town;-)

Enjoy,
Sandra

Amelia and Jessica share some mother daughter time.

PS
I was also able to inch in some art time this weekend. Look at these sweet little collage inches I just started. LOVE THEM ;-)

I first was introduced to Alicia's beautiful artwork in the Somerset Studio magazine July/August 2011 publication (saved my pretty pennies to buy this one after many in store glances). Little did I know then that one morning by pure luck I would be drawn to her beautiful artwork again through her Etsy shop Alicia Art Shop and with more curiousity lead to her blog where I've come to discover taht that very image that first drew me to her was now up for grabs in a holiday contest for Thanksgiving. Of course I entered quite quickly and could not help but to share the GOOD NEWS with all of my blogger friends.

Good luck and I'm crossing my fingers ;-)

Enjoy,

MY Etsy Shop is OPEN!

My Etsy Shop Banner: http://www.etsy.com/shop/alchemydee

God Bless this day - the official opening of my Etsy shop online.
I DID IT! Small; starting with 5 listings but plan to add more every week so please feel free to browse and share with your friends. It's been a lot of work to take quality photos, create a shop banner, and all the details that go into opening up an online shop. Stacy was correct, it does take a lot of work when you want to do something with PRIDE.

Thanks to Stacy, Robin, Maggie, and all my followers (readers) for all your support throughout my blogging months and I look forward to blogging and sharing with the coming weeks new artwork and art experiences. Happy Holidays everyone - there is much to be grateful for on this up and coming Thanksgiving Holiday.
