Give ART for Christmas! Get personal and give a GOOD gift. (Forget the dollar store fruitcake!*) Does your family member like cats? Dogs? Color? Nature? Just type any of those and other favorite words into Ebay in their "Artists Self-Representing" category and you'll find just the unique gift that your friend will remember. And, while you're at it, you'll be contributing to keep American artists working. :)

Check the left side of the main page at EBSQart.com and you'll see my little Christmas snow globe card representing their Seasonal Gallery this year. Check out the Seasonal Gallery while you're at it and you might find an interesting gift of art for sale. Or get YOURSELF a nifty gifty :) (Click on the snow globe on EBSQart.com main page and it will take you to the seasonal gallery).



MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

*Note about fruit cake: If you've ever had the real deal, original fruitcake made from the old-fashioned recipes that took time (like days) to make, you won't believe the difference between that and cheapie fruitcakes. It's YUMMY! If people could taste what it's really like, there probably wouldn't be any more fruitcake jokes ;)

Black Cat in a White Tree ~~~~ Paper Folded Christmas Bird Ornament~~~


Update: New photo without the red eye (found the red eye tool

(Sung to the tune of "A Partridge in a Pear Tree")

Altogether now.....

"On the first day of Christmas,
Santa gave to me....
A black caaaat
in a white tree."
