cheer!

Holiday times brings out so much cheer!!  Being that I am still up in the night with my little one does put a damper on the "cheer" factor some mornings, but today, I woke up, and all but the 14 yr. old (boy - still asleep) were outdoors playing in the fresh fallen snow.......and this instantly cheered me up!

I love the seasons changing....and I have so many crafts/ideas going on inside our farmhouse that I can't wait to share with you!!!

Speaking of sharing: Jennifer Rizzo, designer/artist, contacted me to see if I wanted to share the inside of our farmhouse for Christmas decorating

gulp

a lot to do I must say......but I'm so excited to be in this line up..........

starts Monday!!  but I'm stop 9 (thank goodness)


do you need to feel more cheer right now??  then take a look at Jeanne's new look book at her blog - oh my goodness it is so amazing........completely so well put together and creative - her photography is so dang good

I'm off to school the kids + have some coffee + and create!! (all three together ;)

peace + blessings,

    everything is always inspiring over here:)
    Anne Marie waking to snow is just so peaceful and to see kids playing in it is just so sweet, it melts your heart I am sure.
    I saw Jeanne's line and is is so amazing a fun great line.

    Merry Christmas

    Anne Marie, I am trying to do the same...except the elements of nature that adorn our cottage are from our walks on the seashore rather than the farm. I am spending every early morning walking in our park under 100+ oaks and redwoods with my little dog...it's just me and her out there that early. We walk slow and while she keeps watch of the squirrels I breath in God, turn my thoughts towards advent and behold his beauty all around me. My favorite photo image here is of your daughter with her hairdress and long skirt creating peacefully.
