Christmas is fast approaching...some thoughts



Today is the 7th day of November. I am deep into the creation of my Christmas cards for 2013. Whenever an idea comes to mind, I try it out.  Some of my creations I am happy with, others not so much, however, I need to look critically at the triumphs and the duds to learn from each so that’s what I am doing. I am including some of the recent creations that I have been working on. Lately, I have been obsessed with the white on white cards. They look so clean and pristine. I have tried a few but I find I end up adding some color. For some reason, I cannot get that white on white one that I am happy with.  Besides cards, I have been reading a lot. Have gotten on a site called Goodreads and have been enjoying all the articles and giveaways they have there. Through this site, I have had the opportunity to realize how many books I have actually read in my lifetime. When I was very young I used to be an avid reader. Books would transport me to other places and other times and Oh, how I loved it. Since I lived in Puerto Rico from a very young age, not only did I read in English but I also loved reading books in Spanish. This is how my Spanish vocabulary got so good. Now that I am an adult, I still continue to love books in all forms. I listen to audio books, read eBooks, and regular books. Sometimes I do the public library and other times I do other venues. There is nothing like a good book when you have some time to curl up in a comfortable chair.

Anyway, I digress; I want to post some of my latest creations so here goes…
