Keep Christmas with you all through the year...

This is Christmas to me...
Warm lights, bright colors and spicy smells.



The anticipation of family coming and knowing there will be bonds strengthened again.

Baking and excitement in the air.


Celebrating the birth of the Savior of the world.



Watching little children play, laugh and experience the magic of this season.

(This was Santa riding in on a fire truck a few nights ago with sirens blasting and candy being thrown)



I feel so thankful as this year nears it's end. Thank you for all your support and love here on Art-n-Sewl. Your comments build me up and give me courage to share and try new things.

This feeling of love and joy I hope we can keep with us all through the coming year.
I hope all of you will have a wonderful Christmas and focus on the true meaning of the season!
