Another case of cleverness. Enjoy! Happy New Year!!

Love this. An old story, with a modern twist. It was a youtube link in an email from my friend Lynne, who got it from her friend, Donna….and I hoisted it to share here with you.
I'm about to bake our cake, a tradition started when the kids were little to remind them of the real meaning of Christmas. We take baby Jesus out from the nativity, nestle him in frosting, surround him with candles, and sing Happy Birthday. It was an idea I hoisted from my childhood church – they presented cake at the children's mass each year. I shared the concept with our current priest….I wonder if he'll serve cake tonight? Last year he gathered all the kids at the alter and had them assist in opening a gigantic gift. Out came a helium balloon in the shape of a star. He let it slowly rise while narrating the nativity story. So simple. So clever. He connected what-they-know with what he was trying to tell them. Not unlike the video clip, right?

With all the muchness that this holiday brings, I wish for you some peaceful moments to reflect on how much we have already. Family, friends, full hearts, warm homes and health.
I hope it goes without saying, that if you don't celebrate Christmas, I wish you a happy whatever-it-is-you-honor. xoxo

I worked on pages last week, but never uploaded them, so today I'm showing two spreads. I've enjoyed playing with the spheres – this time with color. To work with xeroxed images it is best to water down your acrylic paint, then iron dry before attempting to cut. Way below you will more peeks at the Bergdorf Goodman windows that inspired the pages.
I promise to show more of the windows soon! Had a wonderful day with friends in the city Saturday. Andrew guided us to places I had never been like the Chelsea Market, and the High Line. So fun to be with creatives! You get used to visiting the same old destinations, then suddenly it is like a new place. I was worn out, and trained it home many bags of goodies. Thank you friends for a real blast. Pictured here: Katherine, from my much-talked-about-favorite-place Valley Ridge, Beryl Taylor, and Andrew Borloz.

This is amazingly clever. Such detail in the choreography. Watch all the way through. Warning: you will have the song in your head all day. Not such a bad thing.
