Well after a fun but exhausting Christmas weekend I wanted to have some fun with a bit of a whimsical fantasy piece. The wonderful vintage Ballerina is from e-vint .com and other digital elements from Holliewood at deviantartscraps.It was a great Holiday -I got an iPad and played with that most of Christmas day, and a few days before I had about thirty guests over for a fun Open House- I cooked for three days straight but it was good! My son and his girlfriend came over and we got to meet the rest of her family! It was a great time with friends, family and good cheer.
I am looking forward to a quiet and reflective New Year; time to get in touch with all that has happened this past year, time to be grateful for all of the good things and time to dream of new creative adventures for the future.

ReplyDeleteA really beautiful piece Lori. I know what you mean about the cooking - it feels like I've done nothing but chop vegetables for days!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are ending the year with a fabulous piece. Your girl expresses the way I feel about the ocean. It is mystical and a fantasy and I feel like dancing whenever I am near it. Your pieces always reflect your titles for them perfectly.
