This Just Makes Me Happy

Happy Holidays, Y'all

Boy, have I been busy! After my big studio clean up (epic) I been spending alot of my time making Christmas gifts, decorating, shopping and planning for our annual ski trip to New Mexico (my favorite part of the holiday). This whole time I thought Christmas was falling on Saturday this year only to find out today it's next Friday (gulp!).

I just wanted to take a quick minute out to wish you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

See ya next year!

We've Been Interviewed

Fellow Etsy artist, David Burns Smith, has an interesting and well written blog called The Studio Chronicle and he's interviewed Scott and me for his Journey Beyond the Artists Studio series. How cool is that! Read the interview here.

Thanks so much David! I look forward to your series every week!

Shared Happiness

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle,

and the life of the candle will not be shortened.

Happiness never decreases by being shared.

Treasure

Feeling so grateful for my husband, holding our newborn son 6 years ago, who has a gentle heart, an old soul and the most beautiful hands I've ever seen.

When we recognize the divine presence everywhere,

then we know that It responds to us and that there is

a law of good, a law of love, forever giving itself to us.
- Earnest Holmes

**This isn't the best photo in the world, but I just couldn't resist sharing it.

Abandon

Feeling grateful today for art and freedom.

There is no must in art. Art is free.

- Wassily Kandinsky

Visitor

Today I am grateful for all those who have come to visit.

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand;

the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.

George Elliot

Tiny Bits of Silence

Today I am grateful for those tiny bits of silence that occur in my day - a time to take a deep breath and remember that all is as it should be.

There is no need to go to India or anywhere else to find peace. You will find that deep place of silence right in your room, your garden or even your bathtub.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Play

Today I am grateful that I was reminded to play.

Play is the beginning of knowledge.
