Joy & CHEER

 

It's that time of the year!

What gets you through DECEMBER?

I feel a little guilty for not liking December. It's cold, for an already responsible person the demands ramp up, up, up. I'm an introvert & the ongoing activities drain me. I thought of a view of my favorite things in December- the one I keep on repeat!

Forgot one... please imagine a bright red amaryllis in this print. 

Happy Hanukkah

 

I made this image over twenty years ago and it still makes me happy! This was printed on kids placemats  with the option to be personalized with a name, sold through The Land of Nod for many years.

Wishing all those who celebrate, a very Happy Hanukkah! 🕯

Red Reindeer Forest

 

If ever I felt like I needed more light it is in the month of DECEMBER! The thing I like most about the holidays is that they are bright. Bring on the twinkly lights! 

For this print I wanted to focus on the color red, one of my favorites. I also wanted to include some surprising colors alongside it. Relying less heavily on the traditional red & green of Christmas. When I think forest, I think deer so of course I added a few of those too!

This print was sold to The Company Store. I think it be great for cozy flannel sheets. 

For the love of pink!

 

Hope the start of the holiday season has you feeling merry & bright! 

(No pressure, it is still early December- there is time.)

This was a card for Design House Greetings.

Woke up to snow.... how apropos! Happy December 1st.

 

This one got turned into a wintery wishes card for Calypso.
 

 From one snow scene to another... here's the view from my studio window.

I don't love snow but I tell myself I'm in a snow globe and that helps!
