Nostalgic Noel

Where did the time go? December is here with frost and chilly weather. We have had bits of snow here and there but nothing too much. The days have been very grey which makes the sunny moments so special here in Canada. I already miss my morning reading time with the squirrels and chickadees on the porch of my studio. It is just a bit too cold now.
But if a warm day peeks through the frost, I will be back out there! I usually get my Christmas cards in the mail on December 1st each year but there is a  strike at Canada Post which will delay things this year. But cards are addressed and waiting to be posted.

Which each card that I write, I think about the recipient and all that I appreciate about them. It is always such a joy to prepare the card and get it ready to post.

I am so sorry they will be delayed in getting out this year. As I think back on the year I appreciate all of the interactions I have had with my friends and students. I feel that my students teach me so much along the way. They share their hopes, their ideas, their challenges and their successes with me and I am so blessed to journey with you. There is one more Flourishing Club for 2024 which will be Nostalgic Noel.

I wanted this December Flourishing Club to be so special as we work on an antique rocking horse design. Festive Flourishes are always my favourites and I am looking forward to the session. There are spaces available if you want to try out the Flourishing Club experience. It will be fast paced to work on this design and it is definitely a challenge but you will have access to the recording and can take your time with this festive project. I will have a bit of a December break before jumping back in to classes for January. I will be updating my Faded Love Letters class for Ardington. There is something about December that makes me nostalgic and quiet. It seems the perfect time to explore these beautiful letters.

Along with Faded Love Letters, I am working on Gossamer and Gold for January. My website will be updated shortly with my teaching schedule for 2025. I wanted to thank you all for attending my courses, reading the blog and keeping in touch with me through notes and emails. Your friendships mean so much to me. Thank you for bringing me so much joy this year.
I look forward to new journeys with you next year. As this month progresses, I hope you find time to relax, visit family and friends and do the things that you love. May you find Hope, Peace and Joy in this beautiful season dear friends. You are such a blessing to me!
