Christmas in July: Family Time

Isn't the best part of the holidays getting together with family and friends for old and new traditions? 

I'm a Christmas nut and we are quite the crafty family so the tree each year is more of an art project than decoration! 

This is a sketch from a dummy book, of course I had to write a Christmas story!  I did mention I'm a Christmas nut, didn't I?

  1. This is just like my memories of Christmas morning except- now I'm a squirrel. The feeling you have as a kid on Christmas morning is kinda indescribable - yelling Santa came!He came! And the reindeer ate the carrots! And Santa ate a lot of cookies!-except when I got coal in my stocking - I wasn't yelling that morning

  3. I was thinking the same thing, Joy! I bet you guys go nuts at Christmas! I'm training my son to get into the crafty spirit during the holiday, now to train the husband! ;)

    I really like the little details you have in this scene-foreground and background!
