holiday notes
I haven't even put away the wigs and swords from the Halloween costumes, they are right here in a pile at the bottom of the steps. I promise I am not that organized. I do however have the crazy-holiday-brainstorm going and it is busy in my workspace right now. Buzzing! I love this time of year.
I have set out enves (envelopes) in all sparkling shimmers, photos of little lambs all fluffed and happy, and a list of *all things merry and bright" to work and re-work. This is how I do my best work ~ I have to lay it all out. Is there a method to your creative genius? Do you have to set it all out to see? or can you do it all in your head? I envy the artists that don't make huge messes...
I have a few Christmas card ideas put together. As friends and family know~ Christmas cards are my favorite fetish. I love them. They incorporate everything I adore ~ love, hope, gratitude, God's unfathomable gift, and they are uniquely personal.
I have also made up several large prints of some of my fav images from this year~ and I am putting them in the shop here in town and online. The frames are a new find. Yummy?
Look at my mess. I was moving framed photos around the room for lighting, I think it looks like chaotic fun. Want to come over and start your own project?
The image above is in the shop. It is one of the most brilliant images I have~ gorgeous. One of those rare perfect moments, you know?
I will be selling a bunch of these sweet 5x5 prints framed this holiday. I have some wonderful ribbon to wrap around the little ones and will have them all ready for gifting. All my square photos will be available for framing ~
I have one photo left of "i know you" (above) in the shop. Isn't she beautiful? A lovely girl just purchased one for her new baby's nursery and I think she will just love it! This one is framed and ready for a new home, 11 x 14.
And here is one of the Christmas cards I have put together for a friend, I fell in love with it, and so it is now new to my etsy shop. Come and visit?
I will be adding more to the shop this week ~ at least 3 more cards. I also have hopes for a couple more to come next week, including a little tag card of little "yes" lamb.
What are you working on this week? After I get my chores done, I will hop around the blogs and see what you are up to...
Love, lambs, and hugs!
