hello winter

it was a beauty of a first day of winter.
clear skies.
high of 57.
we are bracing for another storm this week.
perhaps a white christmas.

well, the gifts are wrapped.
stocking stuffers purchased.
groceries bought.
friday's meal planned.
friends and family invited for christmas dinner.
and tomorrow a day of baking.
ah! and sigh!
time to enjoy the festive part of the season.
and to reflect on the advent of our LORD.


today even made for time to get creative. seems it has been a long time. a bit behind in the december daily book...hoping to get that caught up tomorrow perhaps. i will post and share as that comes together.

a little sneak of what i am working on for january's work in progress gallery. can i tell you how great it was to get my mojo on today and work out some creative energy. alot of joy in that for me. especially after i have been away from it for a bit while focusing on other areas of life.


hoping you have time to slow down...
enjoy your family...
and worship and adore HIM.
