I am having a lovely Christmas Season with my Mom visiting from California. I am also especially pleased that I finished all my commissions, even the big one I finished last night that's not due until next week. It's a private piece I'm not allowed to share though :) I feel as if I hadn't taken a breath until I knew this last piece was done lol! Now I can spend a whole week with nothing dangling in the back of my mind to hold me back for some quality time with family!
While I was furiously finishing my last piece, we were surprised by carolers! My dermatologist and the rest of his 20-member family and a box of homemade goods! I wish I could have joined them and singing to the rest of the neighborhood but I needed to keep working. I felt like a Scrooge.
I hope all my blog friends are feeling fulfilled and whole as I am. I wish you all the best that the season can offer. Please know I appreciate the time you've given me by reading up on me even if you don't comment hahaha! Each of you is a beautiful gift in my life xox
What a cute snowman! I love him. Do you make your own Christmas cards? He is nicer than any I saw in the stores.
ReplyDeleteI mean Christmas cards that is... And I meant to write Merry Christmas... it is after 2AM here and I am not thinking very clearly. I am sewing a Christmas present.

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your portrait by Alice. Hope she will post in on her blog.
HEY CD! How'd your mom, miss alice, like her book gift? Hope I get to see it in real life when you get yours. My snowman ornament is hanging in my kitchen where I can see it every day. I even saved the card, you cute thing you!
ReplyDeleteNow the gauntlet has been thrown...I HAVE to finish my website job...or you win and I don't!
Great Snowman, I just love him. Merry Christmas to you and your family
ReplyDeleteWell Red, as you know, I won the challenge but I think we both won huh? :)
ReplyDeleteMom loved her book! She's a brat though, when she found out the particular gift was hers, she didn't let up until I gave her the green light to open it. But she said it's the best gift ever because it was something that nobody else could buy for her. :) I did get my copy too so I'll have to show ya! Thanks for asking xox
Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas Hillary! Wow this season was something special! I think having the Wii games enhanced Mom's 3-week vacation with us :)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Akiko! We just dropped off Mom at the airport so now I can get back into my art! I can't wait to see my portrait by Miss Alice too, both did a fantastic job with each other's portraits! We'll have to swap pics too, you and I!
