It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas (and other holidays)

I thought I would share with you some of the sights of my holiday season. Enjoy!

Here is a gingerbread man gallery. I have had my friends, their children, and my co-workers decorate these little foam designs to hang in my office. I enjoy their company, even if some are peering over my shoulder.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for so many people, experiences, and things I have in my life that it would be impossible to capture them all in one post. What I can capture is my deep fondness for the beloved hand turkey.

You drew them in elementary school (and I drew them in high school…)  Decked out in glitter glue, feathers, pipe cleaners, beads, googly eyes, and anything else found in the decorating drawer, these are pieces of art and testaments to the season. At a potluck last Thursday, I supplied some of those crafty items and diners provided the creativity. Below is the result. A big shout out to my friends who participated, thank you! If you have drawn a hand turkey this season and would like to share, I would be happy to post a picture.
