A Very Creative Christmas

Christmas has come and gone and I think we did pretty well with keeping it low-key and low-stress. 

We still have my siblings to celebrate with, but so far as the actual holiday, we kept it pretty mellow. Also, while gifts are not the object of most importance, the ones I received were so fitting for my love of being creative and crafty, and for that I am thankful.



E was so sweet in his gifting me a quality set of water color paints and a pair of hand-crafted earrings created by Daphne Olive. Her pieces are inspired by nature and so entirely beautiful.
His parents (the future in-laws) gifted me with a quilting book, a printmaking book, and a Bias Tape Maker, along with his grandmother gifting me with a generous gift card to a Jo-Anns. It looks like I have quite a bit of crafting and art-making to tend to, something I don't mind one bit. In fact, I am very thankful to have the time and ability to do so.

These kinds of gifts mean a lot to me as they will continue adding fuel to my creative fire and keep me heading down the path I want to be traveling.
Also, rather than standard gifts, my Mom is going to get tickets for me, E, and herself to see a theatre show together, another love of mine.


Of course, most importantly, we were all able to spend time together and with our families, which we did plenty of.


Now, if only we could figure out how to have 3-day weekends together every week.


Did you have an enjoyable Christmas, if it is a holiday you celebrate? Did you receive any creative gifts?


Creativity-Fueled Christmas,
Sara
