First of all, I want to thank you for the successful holiday season in the Etsy shop. I'm always floored by how many people want to send my weird holiday greetings to their enemies or mother. I'm officially DONE with orders that were needed by Christmas and I'm touched by how many of you are gifting my artwork to your loved ones. THANK YOU. It really means a lot.
You know, I had quite a few things planned for the blog this month: the usual columns plus some extra festive stuffs because I have to admit, over the last few years I've grown terribly fond of Christmastime again. But then I drowned a bit in a busy work season, had tons of printing and Holiday Card orders to fill, spent as much time possible with the loved ones - all of a sudden it's December 17th and my blog has decided that I don't love it anymore and put itself up for adoption.
That last bit isn't true but I wouldn't be surprised.
In any event, tonight is the calm before the storm: I have a busy week ahead full of family gatherings, lots of baking, gift-wrapping, dinner with friends, cuddling with my Wolf, secret projects, and work on top of it all. A busy life is a full life, right?
I haven't even watched It's a Wonderful Life yet and I mean really, only lots of busyness would keep me away from Jimmy Stewart.
I'm pleased to say that next year I will have three all new Holiday card designs for you to purchase in the shop. I don't want to discuss 2011 on here just yet though, that deserves it's own post after the Christmas mess is over.
In the meantime, I wanted to share a few shots of my Little Black Tree. Christmastime in the House of Black is a really splendid thing thanks to my flatmate Miss Maus O'Liam, who loves Christmas more than anyone I know and does an absolutely marvelous job of decorating. Little Black Tree, however, lives on my bedside table and is one of the few things that is all mine.
Last year it was dolled up in vintage French ribbon, pearls, black glitter Chanel ornaments and beautiful artwork by Miss Jody Pham.
This year it whined for color and ridiculousness so I went with a slight Day of the Dead theme featuring skull flower combs by my wonderful Tia and lush roses by LilaJo.
I hope the next week is wonderful, warm and productive for you all!
current sounds: hehe Keyboard Cat commercial in the other room. I love Keyboard Cat!
current beverage: none but I can't stop snacking on pretzel M&Ms!

I am jealous of your tree.. When I have my own place again, I'll have something spectacular. You'll have to make a few ornaments for me ;-)
