A Colorful Crafty Gumdroppy Bunch of Angels

“And all the colors I am inside have not been invented yet.” 

― Shel Silverstein

Saturday, December 8th was Lakeview's "Christmas in Lakeview" annual event where local businesses have fun and mostly free activities for families to participate in. It is a great way to get local business owners and customers together to celebrate the season!

This year A Work of Art Studio had 42 visiting kids and their families visit and try their hand at making a gumdrop tree, an activity I remember fondly from even my childhood. 

Here are some of the (mostly happy) visitors to the shop .

 This young elf hadn't noticed there was a giant angel in the shop until asked to stand by her for a picture!

 Some local exchange students visited!

 Babies know an angel when they see one.

 Mason made a math experiment out of his craft. There are no rules in art!

Thanks to all who visited and participated and hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season!

Time for Gumdrop Trees!

We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup.

He forgot to add: Gumdrops!

Saturday, December 8th is Christmas in Lakeview

and A Work of Art Studio will once again have

Gumdrop Tree making for kids of all ages from

11am - 1 pm.

There will also be photos taken in front of the 

ArtPrize (Christmas) Angel,

which I will post here afterward.

Here is a small sample of visitors last year:

Yes, buddy, there are angels among us.

So, come and join the fun next Saturday from 11-1, along with many other fun activities in Lakeview for Christmas in Lakeview.

Elves Abound in Lakeview!

And, of course, Gumdrops!

Welcome to Christmas in Lakeview!

 What a fun time we had today in the shop. 63 elves and their grownups visited A Work of Art Studio to make a gumdrop tree and get their picture taken with the "ArtPrize Angel". Thanks to everyone who came out. Some fabulous local artisans were also in attendance to share their talents and beautiful wares. 

Check out these special elves who came a calling today:

Here's wishing everyone a very safe and happy holiday

 season and I hope to see some of you for art classes or 

salon services in the future. Peace be with you!
