# 12 Ornamental Greens

What a lovely palette we have for you this week. Can't you just smell the evergreen and mistletoe? There's just nothing like the scent of fresh greens. Have you ever wondered through the woods searching for the perfect tree to cut down? The fresh air and pine aroma is amazing! What a wonderful experience. Of course the last time my brother and I did that, we didn't saw straight and ended up having to tie the tree to the wall! My brother even looks like Chevy Chase:) When Daddy came home from his trip that year and saw the tree tied to the wall he just looked at us and smiled. Mom got artificial trees after that!

Challenge #10 Caffeine Tones

Brrrr it's cold outside and lucky you, you're sitting by a nice cozy fire with a beautiful quilt and your favorite flavor of espresso. There's music on the stereo and as you look out the window you see snowflakes softly falling blanketing the ground.

We invite you to sit by the fire and create using this palette.
