Be Gentle...

It is already December (but I'm guessing you already knew that!). I know that many folks start their holiday shopping and festivities prior to now but around here we've only just begun to think about it. So, in the interest of helping to maintain holiday sanity, I post this collage.

Brenda said...: I'll try and be gentle with myself. Does going on vacation the week before Christmas help? Coming back 3 days before Christmas probably doesn't! That's when I need to be reminded. Love your work, your mosaics, your paper, your fish, all stunning, vibrant, lovely.; December 3, 2008 at 2:21 AM
