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!
