Christmas Art Journal Day 7

Christmasartjournalday7
Thought about this one as I went about my day...kept coming back to the idea of a simple Christmas. In all aspects I want it to  be simple. Simple, loving gifts. Simple meal. Simply us together. I think I must just be really hungry for that right now.


I am off in the very early morning to Scrapbook Xanadu in Indianapolis - three days of classes at three stores. Looking forward to meeting lots of new people and hanging out at my friend Candi's house. Sushi and beer here I come.


And I hear it may just be snowing there.


No promises of new art journal pages while I am away from home. But you never know...


Peace.

    So excited...see you on Sun at the Greenwood Store. My birthday present to me , along with a few other goodies!
    It's snowing here now (Kentucky) but not much sticking, which didn't keep them from closing schools early.

    I love your daily Christmas journal pages! It is like my own personal advent calendar. Hope you can still post them while you are gone, but that is ok if you can't. lol. Tell Candi (if it is Candi G.) we miss her over at 2peas!

    when i first read your journaling i thought it said "chill. be the tree" & i thought 'oh well, she's really wanting to commune with nature this year' then i realized it says 'chil BY the tree'...i guess that makes more sense:)...though on the really busy days you may find me closing my eyes & saying 'be the tree. be the tree':)....love your pages (as always:)...em

    Great page!
    Have fun at Xanadu!! It's an awesome, awesome store. I think a few of my good friends will be there. I'm jealous I'm not.

    Perfect timing to come to Indy if you're wanting snow! Hope your flight made it in okay...my usual 40-minute drive home from work took me 3.5 hours tonight! :-) See you Saturday!

    I love the simple holidays - for a few years now we haven't been giving gifts to our children on the 25th - but on the 31st. The grandparents and aunties and uncles have always showered them with gifts ~ so our gift to them got losted in all the commotion. They also do a simple sibling gift exchange on the 31st, the children get so excited to spend New Year's with Mama and Dada! Sorry to ramble on, I'm just reminising!

    My soul is hungering for "simple" too. Have had far too much of overpriced, impersonal, forced, false and complicated. Give me simple, please!
