2012...

So, this year I had the goal of doing ten creative things.  The only problem is I for some reason thought I had planned on six creative things.  I had been feeling so good about reaching my goal and after looking up my resolution post I don't feel confident about having a new goal for 2013.  Joanie helped me come up with a few more creative things.  So I truly reached my incorrect goal of six things and I managed to eek out ten things.  I was sort of hoping to have a more ambitious goal in 2013.  I have a day to decide...we shall see...

My ten creative things were:
1.  knit dishcloth, red
2.  knit dishcloth, orange
3.  knit dishcloth, yellow
4.  collaged bottle
5.  Jem's Thor costume
6.  a star tree topper
7.  felt tree garland
8.  NaNoWriMo novel
9.  Peace of Wild Things watercolor
10.  splatter paint Union Jack (to be finished 12/31!!!)

(hoping to add photos!)

The Wreath of Khan...

*snort*  I am so easily amused...

p.s.  It is almost CHRISTmas!!  Woot!

Yep...

Too much cuteness...

Christmas is coming!!!  Yay!

Pondering...

Wendell Berry is a favorite poet of mine.  His The Peace of Wild Things is one of my all-time favorite poems.  Jonathan ran across this short poem and shared it with me...I can't get it out of my mind.  It's really wonderful so I wanted to share...

When I rise up

let me rise up joyful

like a bird.

When I fall

let me fall without regret

like a leaf.

How could I forget?!...

Another favorite Christmas album...

Mesmerizing...

The Snowman has been a favorite for years...our first copy was on VHS tape!  We were glad to find it on dvd and now here it is on Youtube.  Things sure do change!  Enjoy!

Don't forget you can click the title and get to the full-size on Youtube.

Awesome-ness...

This is the best version of 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'...ever!!

Let It Snow Baby, Let it Reindeer by Relient K is a great Christmas album, one of my favorite-est.

Merry CHRISTmas even though it feels like March, even the dandelions are blooming!
