Happy Holidays

Hi Everybody!

Thanks for  all the birthday greetings, digital and
postal which made me happy these past days.
I enjoyed a wonderful day in company of good friends,
and received some great presents from near and
far, which I will show in my TSFT post next week.

Today I am sharing some winter/Christmas art
made in previous years, and often using photos
 taken here, to wish you all happy holidays,
and a peaceful and blessed time with those
you love:












Enjoy the season, and time spent with others.
Take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!

  2. Love all of your wonderful, wintry art. You really manage to convey the feeling of cold, combined with a touch of nostalgia and a pinch of magic, just beautiful. Enjoy the holidays, get plenty of rest and look after yourself. Hugs, Sarah

  7. These pages are gorgeous, and the quotes paired with them are perfect. Winter is most definitely not my season, but I can almost enjoy it looking at your beautiful artwork, though I'm counting the days until I see a little robin outside my window. Happy Holidays to you.
