The house has been festooned for the
holiday, and we are ready to share with you some of our
"Christmas Corners".

| Not many people know that my dad is an amazing wood carver. Here are just a couple examples of his Father Christmas'. He does the carving, and mom and I do the painting. |

As I anticipate the coming Season, I
have been casting back over the year that has passed, and am just so
grateful. It began with me contemplating what to do with my
work and the direction it was going, and being sure that I understand there is a plan for me put in motion by the Creator. When you
work for yourself and your work is all about yourself, it can be very
hard to just turn it off some times and take stock in what is around
you.
So, here is a heart-felt greeting to all of you. Also, a huge "Thank you!" for all of the support and encouragement. I have heard from so many of you and it means so much. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a marvelous New Year!

P.S. I am still getting the hang of some of this tech stuff . Thank you for the lovely comments that I just found.
What a wonderful blog post and thank you for sharing a bit more about your family. Your father's hand carving work is wonderful. The visuals that you share today are very heartwarming.
