Merry Christmas, and soon to be New Year!
It is nice to sit back and reflect after the hectic and joyous Christmas of 2023. It was wonderful getting the families together for a big feast at my sister-in-law's house. We lost the family matriarch last January, and every holiday since has been a first without her. Despite her physical absence, the traditions and love goes on.
I had been working on a small block print for my annual holiday-themed design. I usually create something new each year, and this idea came from a friend's yard display.
I customized some of the designs with the addition of snowflakes, or a little paint here and there for definition.
I really enjoyed our own Christmas tree this year! It was just such a pretty shape and size. Each ornament is a memory. Many were made by my grandmother, or given to us by special friends.
We still like a real tree, and hopefully will until we can't physically put one up anymore!
Best Wishes for the New Year!💚
