Homemade spirits


Homemade spirits, originally uploaded by hurricanemaine.

The picture I used in the label is from a friend's barn - it is hand painted. This year we made our own brandy from peaches on our orchard tress. The shiraz wine was made from a kit I bought my hubby for Christmas. Since we are enjoying a bottle today, a picture was in order!

Love these but never use! My mom used these when we were little and I have pictures of bunny and lamb cakes when we were wee babes! One day need to use - BTW, my mom is the woman on the right in the picture.

He finally had his own photo shoot. In a house with 4 dogs, he is usually the ignored one!

My 96 year old Grandma with one of the dogs. We try to take them in to visit once or twice a week. She loves the company.

Day 31 pic: I created a scrapbooking layout using a plotter fitted to cut and emboss metal and cardstock. The layout was used to create a poster for the company. When they updated the advertising, I was allowed to keep it. One of my favorite layouts!

Day 32 picture: Love the female cardinal! The lack of color in the body makes her pretty pink "lipstick" stand out! Shot was taken from inside using a telephoto lesson (even through glass!)
