Day 875: It's all relative.

ABC Christmas, digital collage

A week away from the big day ...

our decorations are up.

I thought I'd mention how preferences change over time.

At WonderWoman, Superman & the 3 Super-hunk's  house ...

everything is big, beautiful and elegant.

While at Grandma's house ...

everything is smaller, cute and funny.

The Superhero's tree ...

and, Grandma's tree ...

WW and I were talking, and I mentioned that at their age, 

I would have liked what they have.

But at my age, I like where I am.

It's all relative!

Hoping you are ready for holiday joy wherever you are.

Day 868: HB2me

from Velveteen Rabbit, Margery Williams,    a digital collage

I missed out on our monthly Eastside meeting today.

A group of 8 artists who meet and share talents.

Led today by Diane Calderwood, amazing gourd artist.

Starting with raw gourds, they drew, cut, carved, stained 

and ended up with great holiday Santa candy dishes.

All under the supervision of Striker, the task master!

Artist, Erin Houghton, was so kind to share her photos.
