I love Sunday’s!
Saturday afternoon I lit a fire in the stone fireplace, made a cup of green tea to go with my lemon squares and worked away on my poem boxes while listening to benny goodman records. These little poem boxes are matchboxes covered in various japanese hand made papers and I am so utterly pleased with them. Along with my five (seven, nine) word poems I am giving tiny prints (3 x 3) of my photo’s as gifts this christmas as well. Each little poem was written for a particular friend in mind and bloomed in quite a beautiful way in the end, thank goodness. I seriously cannot WAIT to deliver these this year!
It is Sunday and it couldn’t be a more perfect day to announce that I am so thrilled to be a part of Mindy’s Wishful virtual art retreat where I will be teaching a course called ‘Three Wishes.’ Pop on over for early registration and see the brilliant group of effervescent instructors she has lined up. I am truly honored to have been invited to be a part of this delicious weekend and am completely in awe of Mindy’s passionate energy and deeply generous center.
This week…I am planning a christmas party at my home on Friday night where I will be getting everyone tipsy on Darlene’s homemade eggnog, contemplating the beauty of a life filled with a series of thousands and thousands of tiny miracles and loving dylan’s unique take on a vintage christmas tune. It is Sunday and there is a dance of snowflakes outside my window I think I shall take my camera out for a snowy walk. Oh, and happy Sunday everyone!

Sigh… I’m wishing I was on your Christmas gift list
The poem boxes are lovely! Congrats on the new course, will check it out.
It’s an all day rain event here on the east coast. Perfectly appropriate for a fire, a pot of chicken and slippery dumplings for supper and an afternoon of Elvis Christmas carols.
I love Sundays too!
Have a wonderful party,
Cheers!

I got my print:)) Love it! Love it! looking forward to January:)
I think one of your wee poem boxes might qualify as one of those thousand tiny miracles:)
Have a happy day! xo
I’m going to a Christmas Pantomime:)

Maddie, these poem boxes are so pretty! What beautiful, thoughtful, personal gifts. And congratulations on your new class!

That is so you…such a beautiful idea for a gift…and so much more meaningful when it comes from your heart.
We had a few flakes fall yesterday. The novelty will never wear off when it snows here. I abandoned my car (actually, it abandoned me at the bottom of the big hill I live on…no match for the slippery white) and walked to my students houses last night, admiring the quiet beauty and glowing lights.

Here it is Christmas Eve and I have a pile of things still to do. Before I don my little elf hat and get busy, I wanted to stop by and wish you and yours a very merry Christmas. May this holiday season bring you much joy and laughter. May the gifts you give be received with delight. May your home ring with laughter. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
