    *PSA (Public Service Announcement):  from time to time there are just some things you need to know.  A new HIM album definitely counts as information I am happy to bring you.  There will be a tour following the release of the album….I will be on the case and will let you know the U.S. tour schedule as soon as I learn the details.  And for my overseas friends who get to see them before me….wish I was there, behave yourselves ;) 

  • wise men

    Balthazar, Melchior and Caspar….. A favorite scene in The Little Drummer Boy is when the three wise men had their tents pitched in the desert.   You could see the city of Bethlehem in the distance.   I'm sure that influenced my interest in onion domed architecture.  

    I love seeking and creating images of Three Kings, or Three Wise Men….I love things that come in threes…and I love crowns….so could it be any cooler that the Ward family crest is 3 crowns??!!  These large chess pieces are in our home….the pawn got a promotion today…with a crown of anaglypta.  Happy Epiphany.

  • the twelfth day of christmas

    MWredornaments

    I never take down the Christmas stuff until tomorrow – epiphany.  I wish we could leave the outdoor lights on through the dark days of winter.  It's so fun to see the neighborhood glowing.  I suppose there needs to be a special-ness of having them only lit at Christmas….I will miss them.  Tomorrow I will carefully wrap and pack our special things.  I leave the nativity scene for the end….it's the last to go….also the first to come out each year.

    How about these lovely ornaments from Crate and Barrel?  They make me so happy.  I might leave them out until Valentine's Day.

    I did work in my Ruby Tuesday journal today….just didn't get it finished or photographed.  I'll show you soon.  I'm thinking I will keep up the weekly exercise.  I enjoyed maintaining my sanity by allowing a morning of self indulgence each week.  If you are having a hard time getting back into your art you should come over and play on the Street Team.  This month the prompt is also an assignment….sometimes I think having an assignment takes the Thinking out and leaves room for Doing.  Come Brave the Elements with us.

  • the learning curve…..

    Whew boy!  I have been a lucky girl!  I am writing this post from my new laptop….and added details to this photo using a new version of photoshop!  I am trying not to let the learning curve of these devices make me crabby because it's all good. 

    Yesterday Fallon and I finally made it into the city to see the Bergdorf Goodman windows.  We shared the experience with two treasured friends, Bonnie and Anne.   What fun it was to be there with artists….we were supposed to go earlier in the month with Lisa but I got sick :(   I have alot of editing to do before the photos are ready to present.  This year Fallon was the photographer.  If you get a chance to see the windows in the next week or so (before they change them out) do it!  If you can't make it then check back here in the following days for Fallon's perspective.  You may remember my posts from last year HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.  A sneak peek of 2009…….*swooooooon*.

    I admit that today was a little too packed with wrapping duty to indulge in making journal pages.  So I am reviewing pages shown on my blog from the past two years where I used some red.  It was really fun to scroll back through my own blog!

    Lots of red around the home, in the wardrobe, on the tree.  I love that it is everywhere….all the way until Valentines Day!

    Manja Uhlig from Germany!  Congratulations Manja.  I have your address and will send tomorrow.  I thank all the participants – it was super cool to read your kind words and I appreciate the interest and enthusiasm you have for the new images.  More will be unveiled soon, and this half sheet will be for sale on GPP in January.
