farewell to the Christmas season...

There truly IS no place like home and the bohemian was so very glad to be home for the holidays! She is reminded how very blessed she is!! glad to be back to her beloved mountain... and enjoying tea with her mom and sister, at the local festival of trees... this was her favorite tree this year...orange, of course! luscious colors... fabulous shapes... shimmery metalics... There was even a skiff of snow in her yard today!!! and a little Nutcracker Suite ballet watching.... She also finished her cards for the"Mary Englebreit challenge" with her card exchange group. Mary's art ALWAYS makes her smile!! And she used her new 3-part bird punch...FUN! She hopes your season was blessed by the coming of the Baby born to save us all. Farewell, dear Christmas.... ...and onward to the new year!!! Hope you take time to play! Snowflake lace and warm knitted mitten wishes to you all....

the bohemian's back in town...

the bohemian is so GLAD to be back home after her 3 months away! it's been raining like crazy and the creeks have flooded... but her mountain peeked out at her today. it's good! life's good! one of the things she did while in colorado was visit this christmas house. it was crazy overkill and so awesome!! the whole house was covered with row after row of lights... and it put on a fantastic light show set to awesome guitar christmas music (think transiberian orchestra's carol of the bells) which came over the radio on a certain local station. house, garage, driveway, front yard, porch, back yard... all of it covered in masses of lights... flashing in time to christmas music... the bohemian had to see it TWICE!! so glad to be home and setting out her nativity collections...this one from Haiti in front of a painting from trinidad. and her little christmas fairy wishing all of you a meaningful and joyous christmas season with twinkly lights and holiday laughter and maybe a snowflake or two... (have you been playing while i was gone? i hope so!!)
