Peace & JOY!

Wishing You & Yours a Christmas filled with Peace & Joy!

Christmas Characters...

Both from my Counting Christmas book.

3 Days...

&   c o u n t i n g !

Winter Solstice!

Keep on the Sunny Side... 

Hm,  that's not been so easy to find with it getting dark at 4:45pm.  So relieved that today is the winter solstice & from here on out precious seconds of sunlight will be coming back!  

I'm a girl who needs her sunshine. 

Christmas Choo- Choo

With Christmas right around the corner I thought I'd share my Christmas Choo- Choo board book today.

This book features removable puzzle pieces to play with two ways.  Each piece pops out of the book & can be puzzled back in place. Then... each piece can be assembled together to create Santa's Christmas Choo- Choo.

A fun & festive way to encourage hand & eye coordination.  

*Hold on tight... the Christmas train pulls out of the station in just 6 days.
I think that will leave us ALL breathing a sigh of relief!

Special Snowflake

Playing around in my sketchbook today.

You're a special snowflake...

Yes, you are!

Happy Hanukkah!

I am not Jewish but I do have a great deal of respect & curiosity about the religion.

Over the years I've been commissioned to create several Hanukkah pieces.  This year I bought my first menorah as an opportunity to discuss the Jewish religion with my son Luca.  As a child I had wished for a better understanding of other religions. I've checked out a couple children's books about the holiday to read as bedtime stories.  So tonight at sundown we'll light our first candle.

Wishing you a Happy Hanukkah!
