Well, 'tis time again to concentrate on creating a time of peace on this earth, so let us all do our best to visualize through prayer or thought (whatever means works best for each of us). I have chosen a primitive theme for my Christmas/Hanukkah or just plain solstice this year and that is because it is so sweet and simple, plain and unencumbered. My lamb above is featured in my Christmas card next to my new Santa below.
Here is Santa holding his damask bag with a Christmas tree and of course a dolly! But the tree is hidden behind her, so alas, there you have it. But you can see a tree in the painting that I did below. (The real one is white and sparkly.)If you wish to make some cards from my little Santa, just click on the link below it and print onto card stock. Cut a small piece of card stock as a back. I use a 3" wide by 5" long piece of it, and I fold it over, and attach it to the back of the Santa card with a piece of foam core tape. Then write in the body of it.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Oh, your lamb is very sweet! I think a nice simple and peaceful Christmas is a good idea :) this year, I actually didnt put out all my Christmas things...only what seemed to be needed. Simplicity seems to be the word!

This year I am using lots of greens as usual...but I'm also adding pine cones, acorns and such...I'm very much into the woodland Christmas this year.
