How was your December? Mine was busy but full of wonderful family get togethers, new art and lots of December fun!
First, I was asked by my dear friend, Fairy Girl Gema C, to join her and a few of her friends in her “Fairy Girl Gema Art 12 Days of Christmas 2019” Facebook Group event by creating art for her prompts from 12 through 24 December. Here’s a snippet-collage of the 8 pieces I created.
Second, I was one of ten winners of the Christmas Cafe Feature in the Maremi’s Creative Cafe Christmas Feature! Here’s the badge I was awarded and the art piece that was chosen (called Angel Snowflake Mandala). I was given some special printable tags which were embellished with my art - such a thoughtful present and memento of this occasion! I highly recommend this lovely group. Although it’s a large group comprised of many members worldwide, it has the feel of a group of friends who chat about art over a neighborly cup of tea or coffee. There are excellent freebies if you join, too, but just seeing everyone’s creations is an amazing treat! Click above on The name “Maremi’s” to request to become a member.
After a beautiful Christmas with these amazing events, I thought about my resolutions for this first year of the new decade. It was obvious I needed to take my digital note taking to another level by using a digital planner, so that is number one. I also needed to organize my art room, old photo files and closets so the word of the year for me is “organize!” I’ll be sharing more of this journey and my art this year but for now, I’ll leave you with a new coloring page. This page expands upon the triple-fox drawing I posted in my last blog. Have you had a chance to download it and do some "alterations” yet? I drew in clothes for the foxes and faces on the mountains, plus sweet-faced flowers. You’re welcome to download this page as well and color/alter it as you’d like. I’ll also color and alter it more then post it in about a month along with a new coloring page.

Have a wonderful January!
