Thinking Back on the Past 2 weeks...4 Thank-You's

I can't believe we are approaching NeW YeaR'S eve in a few hours. 

I'm sitting back thinking about the closing of the 2010 holiday season. 

WOW! So fast and so sweet. 

4   t h i n g s   that made this holiday so wonderful-- 

and continuous sweet undertones from this past year...

r e l a t i o n s h i p s ::  close family~ continued close friendships~

connecting with family near and far~ 

old cousins becoming "new cousins"~

making new "creative flying friends" that support & inspire...

a  c o z y   h o m e  :: after spending time on a continued basis, 

working at the   F r e e   M e a l s  program at Calvary Community Church, 

I have gained a new perspective on what a "home" is to me.

The "simplicity of a warm place to be" has a new meaning to my family. 

I have discovered a heart for people that don't have a home, that I never knew I had.

More to come on this in 2011...

Little Drummer Boy - Calvary Christmas Eve 2010 [HQ]

G o d   s p i r i t  :: Christmas Eve services are always a special treat for us- as a family. 

Sometimes it seems to be- the one time we are all together in the same place. 

This year, there was a drum segment to the music of "Little Drummer Boy" 

that took my breath away. 

I thought I'd share a video that was posted...

it will give you an idea of the creativity of the performance.

It totally made my Christmas eve~~ 

summing up the feeling of the holidays with 5 drums!

a r t :: Always so grateful to be able to be doing art. 

It was a year of trying many "new" things~

Finding my way down different path's of art that I want to travel on.

Enjoying the ride with many "new" friends and a lot of "older friends" 

who have been most supportive along the road.

I am sooooo amazed at the support, the inspiration, and the doors that are opening.

Here's a "toast"to friends old and new, and a wish for many many 

continued blessings in 2011 to all!
