A very hypnotic process to once again
create a series of snowmen on pieces
of scrap cardstock. Takes my mind off
the nastiness in todays News feeds!
I have waited literally decades for certain topics
to be broached in media. Finally in my peaceful
years they seem to be relevant. Oh why oh why
did it take so long I wonder! In bed alone, my
thoughts write pages and pages of words
needing to be purged. Yet I'm still not
ready to share them!
I shall bide my time a little longer. Maybe
in the New Year I will have a say!
For now, my colour filled brush will
swoop across the page, sedating a
resurgence of old thoughts.
I will enjoy the intricate colours of the season!

Listening to music, and watching Christmas movies.
A wonderful way to encapsulate peace during a
frenetic time!! I can honestly say the Christmas
feeling has hit hard this year! It truly is about
the love and beauty that surrounds me daily!
And all those amazing giggles we have teasing
each other!

Decorations were handled completely without my help this year and it was such a blessing! |
The joy of having your decor done early
affords you the ability to really savour
the holiday moments blissfully!
There is so much pressure on women to
strive for perfection. Now with instagram
I'm sure it's even worse! Thankfully I'm
past all that. I think I've taught my

These two in hysterics trying to make a fun pose as I look on. |
February, these two still know how to play
and laugh together daily!

the season. Unfortunately these fun onesies tickled
someones sensitive bits so they're going back.
Of course I had to sneak a few photos
These adorable jammas have to be returned, bad fit! |

Any of the good photos have been taken

The kids enjoyed slowly taking in
gorgeous decor at the Potters
Garden center! A plethora
of inspiration for any artist!
That ninja turtle Christmas sweater pretty much defines
his era growing up!!
So glad Cupcake takes lots of photos for me to enjoy!
What Christmas Sweater would define your era?
Mine would be Pink Panther....I loved the character
but not the movies with Jacques Clouseau.

What sweet little snow people, as you say,a good place to focus right now! and Cupcake looks so happy!
Blessings of the season to you!
Your snow people make a nice statement. Enjoy your season! Happy PPF
I do like your snowmen and all the Christmas pictures. Yes it's the 1st of December and we are "allowed" in this house to start to celebrate Christmas! Great to see Cupcake and Beardo having fun.
I don't remember any special Christmas sweaters but I do remember lots of lovely cosy hand-knits.
Great photos of Cupcake and her partner. Sweet snowman sketches. Te holiday decorations invoke the spirit beautifully.
Great post, Sherrie. Like you, at least this year I have decorated early so I can now relax and enjoy the peace, love and joy of Christmas. The news seems to get worse and worse. I have mixed feelings about the current revelations because I doubt that a single male living has not at one time ogled someone. Taking advantage of someone is wrong, though, whether it is in a sexual context or some other context. I'm sure more heads will roll in the coming weeks.
Enjoyed your thoughts of Christmas today and your art!
Your snowmen are adorable! And what a cute couple...looks like they have a great relationship! Loved that fairy snowman, too. Sop cute.
Oh wow, your livingroom is looking so inviting and cosy. Must be a pleasure to sit down there and relax. Love the pictures of Cupcake and Beardo. It looks like there's a lot of fun in your house :-)
now that's the way to welcome the season in!!
Your blog looks so festive with all these Christmasy photos. Your snowmen paintings are adorable. :)
What a lot of fun you're all having - your Cupcake and Beardo are a pair of sweeties... loved the onesies!
Your snow people are gorgeous too and, it's always lovely to find distractions from the other side of life - I'm a big fan of that :D) xx
Such fun snowmen!
The 80's when they had all those big bulky sweaters. LOL I loved the ones I could cinch in at the waist and covered my behind. :D I love your artwork. So fun and plucky! :D
It pleases me so much to see all your unique and lovely snowmen assembled here. You really created a fantastic snowmen community to spread joy around what is a great task nowadays as I agree to your words and thoughts. And it's a pleasure too to see your happy family.
I love your snowman tiles. Hard to pick a favorite but I finally decided that it is the one with the green hat and scarf.
I love all your snow people and the fun Christmas photos of your family. Have a wonderful Christmas Season.
Your snow men are sooo cute. Nice jammies too
Happy you dropped by my blog this week
