Mistletoe ~ For Creative Tuesday

please click on drawing to enlarge

Mistletoe is the theme at Creative Tuesday!

Looks like Mr. and Mrs. Bird are keeping warm with a little smooch under their mistletoe! I'm not even sure they notice the beautiful snowflakes falling around them! I think I need to hang some mistletoe in my house! Harry is the man around here always willing to give a kiss. Maybe he'll give mom a little peck if I stand under it. :)

If you'd like to join in, this theme is due by Tuesday, December 6th.

No talent required...just come have fun!

So when you kiss, do you keep your eyes open or close them like me? Or does that depend on who you are kissing? ha.

    ha I knew it be a bird in a tree
    I'm just that good you see..haha
    Another one nicely done
    Looks like Mr. Bird is really getting a long one
    Getting his fill
    Giving him quite the thrill
    Sorry don't kiss and tell
    Not even if my eyes are opened or shut at my well
    And if one believed that
    They are nutter than the cat..haha

    This is the first time I have stopped by and saw one of your drawings. You are quite talented. Love the little birdies.
    It totally depends who I'm kissing...

    Orlin just dropped some drool
    So not cool
    His eyes are wide open too
    And what you guess may be true

  13. Betsy BrockDecember 5, 2011 at 8:37 PM

    Pat ~

    So Orlin drools
    but with Cassie manners rule.

    I bet they give nice forehead nudges,too
    that say "I really like you"
    ha.

    I just knew you would have "love birds"...the Mistletoe and ribbon are so cute with the little bells. Love the snow on the tree, and yes, lovely snow flakes!!!

    I believe I close my eyes...yes...I just kissed my dearest, and my eyes were closed.

    do you know that I have looked HIGH and LOW for an attractive mistletoe arrangement and CANNOT find one? I had one when we first married and had to throw it out. NOW...I cannot find one! (there are tacky ones!)


    Cute drawing!

  28. Betsy BrockDecember 6, 2011 at 9:12 AM

    Jill ~ I'm sure there are LOTS of tacky ones. ha. I think the pretty ones are the real deal from the florist.

    Aww, what a cute picture. I love it! I don't think I've ever kissed under mistletoe, but my hubby says we did when we were dating. I am overflowing with Christmas cheer this year! Started in October when the docs said I don't have to have heart bypass surgery after all!!! i am way ahead this year. But I think the easiest way to get in the groove is to read the Christmas stories in the Bible and play the Christmas carol/hymns. Merry Christmas to you, Betsy!

    This is so sweet. I like that you used a blue bow with jingle bells. It goes nicely with the birds and snow.

  37. MichaelDecember 6, 2011 at 4:42 PM

    this is truly brilliant, Betsy. I adore it. so fun. Just love the birds' expressions! TY for doing this.

    BTW, when I read, "No talent required...just come have fun!" I thought you were referring to kissing under mistletoe!! LOL.

    And no, I never close my eyes! but its been so long since I kissed anyone under mistletoe--can't even remember last time in fact!

  38. Betsy BrockDecember 6, 2011 at 4:47 PM

    Mmm ~ oh that is too funny! I'm afraid I would rather require talent in that case. lol...

    Well, don't feel bad...I can't remember the last time for me, either! :( Maybe I should borrow your card!

    I wondered if you'd do birds! They are absolutely delightful! I love the choice of the blue ribbon.

    Mine were canines - based on the colours - sometimes I thought they wolves, other times coyotes, other times dogs and every once in a while foxes (are foxes canines?) Thanks!
