My first ever photo with a little bit of bokeh magic in it.
The spectacular spectacle of decorated houses seen while walking around Balboa Island (not bad for an iphone in the dark, and yes, that is a moving reindeer merry-go-round on the roof top!)
Hand made giftwrap by my young neices. I'll save these for sure!
The sweet tags my son made for the gifts he gave his sister...without any prompting whatsoever.
that one antique ornament is just so precious overlooking the happenings on Christmas morning.
Catching my daughter working on her new gift from her brother. The two of us love puzzles. This is the third one this holiday season. My gathering of supplies for the online class I'm taking from Mary Ann Moss (more to come on that in next post), set on top of our Christmas day game of Risk, a gift for my son. We played for about 2 hours before I started trying to lose so that I could wander off and rummage through scraps. When they caught on to my scheme, they showed me mercy and agreed to take a break. It's patiently waiting our return...
Hope you've been enjoying your holiday time, no matter what you celebrate or where you are! I love that it seems the whole world has slowed down a bit.xox
Hi Pam,
I've been wanting to take a journal class but have been very intimidated because my sewing skills are horrific!
Maybe the online class is just what I need. I can hide my mistakes under my bed and no one will ever know!
Let's plan a lunch date soon. :)
Happy New Year!

I'm signed up too Pam! I have yet to get started... hoping I'll have some time the next few days. I'm sooo inspired by what I've seen so far. Gorgeous gorgeous stuff. And I love your bits.
