Keeping oneself busy...

while waiting for Santa!
Even at 15 years, it can be hard waiting for Santa.
But my creative little cherub found the
perfect 'pass the time' activity.
She's decided to redecorate her room!

For me, I'm looking foward to a new year. No presents, just the newness of a fresh start. There is just something magical about a new year. Like the gift of birth, we get to start again, putting the past in the past and leaving it there!

New signs coming for the new year...
first...something a little Italian..."Beautiful House"

And since the seed catalogs just keep coming this time of year I'll be painting more garden themes...lot's of roses for sure :)

Merry Christmas & HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!
