Christmas Memories

As a father and now a grand father, Christmas is a time to reflect on the joys of the season and the memories of times spent with friends and family and the wonder of seeing children enjoy the excitement only this time of year can bring. It is a time of thanks, for sharing and giving, but also a time to enjoy what the future may bring to one and all. Merry Christmas, Dear Friends.

Natuaral Greens and Things From The Garden For Christmas Decor.

I like to use a mix of natural materials for decorations at Christmas. A mix of pine, balsam, magnolia branches, eucalyptus sprayed gold, branches of berries and even branches of preserved oak leaves. It makes for a festive bouquet here in my studio.

Christmas Decorations From The Heart.

This Christmas our grand daughter helped us decorate the tree and house. What a joy to have her hands help us and contribute her ideas. The paper chain garland, the pink bows for the grand daughters and the blue ribbon for our first grand son. This is what makes this season so very special.
