Looking back and feeling thankful...

What a great Christmas eve and Christmas this has been. I would be so happy just to be with my husband and kids like we have done these past two days. I don't need presents or fancy things.

This year has been a huge turning point in my life. I've learned so much about myself and what I really want. I've come out of a confusing fog, to find that I really only want the simplest of things, and those are the things that I already have in my life. Quality time with my kids, new adventures with my husband, creating art and spreading kindness, and loving my little dog Cooper, these are the things that make me happy. These are the things in my life that I adore.

I'm feeling so very blessed right at this moment. I'm feeling blessed with clarity for what is important to me. I'm feeling blessed with love and true friendships that help me to see the light. I'm feeling blessed with incredible, caring,smart, and good kids that I really like and that like me too! I'm feeling blessed with peace and compassion for myself, even with my imperfections and quirks, that I am loved and I am"good enough anyway". Life is good and God loves me, I can feel it. This is all I need.

Merry Merry....

Wishing the whole world a very Merry Christmas and a loving and peaceful New Year.

Angel of Love Doll....

I think she is about finished, but now I think she needs some long floppy legs to make her look like she is sitting down.  Her body dimensions are off and I think that might help...

My doll experiment in progress....

She's coming along....

waiting for her arms to dry (paper clay) so I can paint them with black and white stripes.

HO HO HO!!! Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season!  Love, Kelly xo
