| Ahhhhh...... This time of year can just be so busy, can't it? I think we all need to try to slow down and smell the evergreens...I am really good at not getting too wrapped up (ha!) in Xmas but even I have to admit that there is just more going on.... |
 |
| There are presents to be wrapped and then a trip - or two - to the post office to mail them out... |
 |
| Happily I DO enjoy wrapping gifts and making them look pretty but this does take time away from other things -- like making art.. |
 |
| There are cookies to be made (and eaten) and delivered (to the neighbors and to my favorite postal clerks). |
 |
| Cards to be written and addressed and stamped and walked to the postbox. |
 |
| It is always fun to get the box of Holiday Rubber Stamps out to play with -- and it is always nice to put the box away till the next year too. |
 |
| Vintage Santa Stickers |
 |
| I made some origami folders..... |
 |
| A little watercoloring on envelopes... |
 |
| Whew! I think I am done! Fini! Time to do some serious hanging out by the fireplace with a good book. Oh yeah -- no tree this year either. I am happy with my garland and white lights. Just keeping things simple. |
 |
| I hope you are all close to the peaceful pause and ready to relax and enjoy the rest of 2014. I figure what I haven't finished by now is just not going to happen -- and you can think that too. Go to a movie or a museum or a nice, long walk or sit by the fire -- a present for yourself! Happy Holidays, my friends. SEND GOOD MAIL -- GET GOOD MAIL |
