putting my spin on pat's watercolor resist technique,i made

tony this birthday card...he "gets it",my art....just one more reason

to love him to pieces!

time to put Jesus away?

huddled in a neat pile on a shelf is a gathering of beautious
Christmas decorations waiting to be put away,as i placed them
all in that spot, i caught a glimpse of the Baby with His arms
outstretched to me as if to say...place Me in your heart and keep
Me there all year long.alrighty then!
