I Love the view from my studio this morning
I hate the view from the side of the house. Yes, once again my fabulous driving skills landed me in a small drift in the yard. I will not be going anywhere today....again. Tim is going to save me once again when he brings home a new tow rope after work.
This weeks image is of some friends with their gloves off... when's the last time you took your fancy gloves off? Anyway.... the contest is simple - just submit a phrase/quote/word etc that you think would be perfect for the back of this image and on Friday (loosely translated to "on or about Friday") a winner will be chosen and then awarded with a soldered glass pendant! 
This week's winning necklace goes to Randa! Congratulations - your suggestion of "When hearts listen, Angels sing" seems to be the perfect saying for the back side of this image. There were some really great suggestions again - thanks to everyone who played!
Yesterday at Sunrise. This is a picture of one of the bright rainbow-like spots on each side of the sun. I think it was due to ice crystals in the air because there was also a giant sun pillar.... it might just be magic.
Yesterday's Snow. It was just beautiful! This is as far out the Sweatshop door as I went.... Unfortunately, the mail carrier/UPS trucks/Fed Ex Guys and basically anything on wheels couldn't make it down our roads. The county road crew still hasn't been by here. Late yesterday afternoon Tim went "the long way" to town in his 4-wheel drive hemi pickup and made it to the post office for me. Orders are on their way! I'll be busy down in the Sweatshop again today (and until Christmas) working on orders and pretty much ignoring everything else....except the fact that Baby It's Cold Outside!
Welcome to the Two Dog Pond Necklace Contest.
We have Two Winners this week! Miss Kitty is the winner of the first pendant with her entry of "I can always lean on my sisters". AMEN to that!! Anyone with a sister (or even a friend that seems like a sister) will appreciate this one! 
The second winner is Decorator to the Stars who entered lyrics from a Beatles song: "...these chains of love have a hold on me...." Love it! Honestly, I didn't think so many people would like this image as much as I do! But there were alot of really great suggestions for this one.
This week's necklace image is of some friends at a train station waiting...on something - someone - or nothing. You come up with a saying for the back side of this image and enter it here... On Friday a winner will be chosen and awarded with a soldered glass pendant on a 24" ball chain. There are complete 'rules' posted on the sidebar if you would like something else to read.
I love going over to Hey Harrietts blog and looking at the Shadow Shot Sunday pics. While in Florida, my sister noticed this great shot of us three sisters and one niece while standing on the Naples Pier. 
I'm not sure how I lost track of what day it was yesterday...totally forgot it was Friday and that I should have posted the winner... I guess the whole Black FRIDAY thing didn't sink in... anyway -Congratulations to Mama K for her winning entry of "Just a tiny bit naughty". You win!! Send me your mailing address and I'll send you your necklace.
AND I'm pretty sure she's the one that started this fire down by the pond.
NICE:
This week's contest image is of the tiniest Santa checking his good boys and girls book...
Wendy wins with her suggestion of "Meals on Wheels". That just cracks me up! Send me your mailing address, Miss Wendy - and I will send you your winning necklace.
Baby Corey came back to the Sweatshop today - she brought her momma to work.
