    T Tuesday: Wednesday edition

    I’ve fallen a bit behind with T stands for Tuesday in both posting and visiting. I blame it on the holidays and birthdays this time of year. Time seems to slip through my fingers like sand through an hourglass.

    I did finish up an art journal page on Christmas morning while we were trying to determine if we’d have to delay our family get together due to the sheet of ice covering everything. Instead of worrying, I created. grateful heart

    The words reflect what I was feeling.

    I even included a coffee cup as each morning I start my day with that as well.

    Today will be spent on laundry, sewing, maybe a bit of shopping and quality time with my girl.

    T Tuesday: almost Christmas edition

    festive mug

    I got out a festive and oversized mug to help me through our subzero temps. Sunday morning it was -25°F here. Luckily there wasn’t the wind that had been in the forecast otherwise it would have been awful!! I delivered a plate of treats to the neighbor in the afternoon and though…”huh, it’s not that bad out here.” It was -7°F at the time. We are a crazy bunch here.

    A few days before we had a small gathering with my in-laws to celebrate the December birthdays. My psuedo SIL just came back from Japan and brought the kids each a variety pack of Kit-Kats.kit-kats

    There are some really strange flavors in there including….sake kit-kat

    sake. That is really strange. We’ve tried several of them and they’ve all been good, even the green tea.

    Have a Merry Christmas everyone!

    Music shines through

    I was inspired to create this page after the Holiday choir concert J took part in at his school. The holiday concert is always a highlight of the season but this one felt a little more special. The school went through a rough time just a couple days before and this beautiful concert was a first step in healing and moving forward…erasing the ugly and replacing it with good.music shines through

    Yes I know some of my letters are wonky. I’m totally ok with that. It shows yet another way we can turn things around,

    The image is cut from a Thomas Kinkade Christmas card…it just worked perfectly to reflect my theme.

    I used my sewing machine to stitch it down.

    Linking up with Art Journal Journey for the current theme of Light and Darkness.
