Good morning and . For those of you following my saga of my neighbor’s tree, well today could be the day . . . we are expecting wind gusts up to 60 mph. Mr. Stodgy, upon hearing today’s forecast, took some pictures up to our insurance company so that they had notice of the tree and our garage.  Of course, I’m looking at this as a means of redecorating . . . Mr. Stodgy not so much.  Can you even imagine?  Hey maybe I’ll finally get that   Mr. Stodgy was talking about parking his vehicle in the front of the house last night so that he could get out in the morning . . . just in case!  I told him my car was going to stay were it was

Now that I’ve had my folly, lets get to Tag 6 of T!m’s 12  Tags of Christmas.  Hey, I’m catching up  . . . almost!  Another day or two like yesterday in the studio and I’ll be smokin’!  Here’s T!m’s Tag 6 (do you think someday there will be a smiling bowing to me  . . . )

I truly felt the need to make this tag.  It’s the car, definitely the car . . . AND I don’t even have the stamp!  Whatever am I thinking?  I have one of T!m’s cars, but not this particular one.  Why the car you ask?  Because when I was a little girl my grandfather had a Model T Touring Car . . . no windows except a windshield.  It was great fun when he would pull the car out of the garage and take us for a drive around town.  People would look, stare, wave  . . . we absolutely LOVED it!  He eventually sold that car and purchased a Model A.  It wasn’t as much fun, but it did have heat and windows!  I traveled to many antique car shows with my grandparents in the car . . . top speed, maybe 35/45 mph.  My mother inherited the Model A when my grandfather passed away, storing it at my uncle’s business in Hodgenville.  She recently brought it home and I believe it is now in the possession of my sister and her husband (he’s a car buff too). 

Since I didn’t have the stamp, I went on a Google search and found a picture I thought I could substitute.  I printed it out and then glued it down to Grunge Board.  It was cut out and then inked with Vintage Photo and Black Soot Distress Ink to not be so darned photo’ish.  Oh I also covered the tag with some of my favorite script paper from K&Company.  For the snow on the tree, I added some Tulip Puff Paint and sprinkled on sparkly fluff, heat set it and then squashed it a little.  The sentiment is covered with Rock Candy Distress Stickles  . . . I love how glittery it is!
