A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Happy Holidays!

December 21, 2015

2015-joypeace

Filled with loved ones, I hope it is.

Brimming with inside jokes and outside ones too.

A magical time.

A time for reflection.

Perhaps some wistfulness as well.

Deck those halls, or leave them bare

But most of all, I’m wishing you all

Peace + Joy, Joy + Peace, whatever combination thereof

 

P.S. If you need any last-minute gift tags, you can download them here and here. [UPDATE: I just sent out extra holiday goodies to Furoku members, so check your Promotions/inboxes :-)]

P.P.S. I’ll see you back here in about seven days!

    Thank you, Sanae! All the best to you and yours!
    Is the first line channeling your inner Yoda or am I just drowning in Star Wars over here?
    Kiss kiss!

      Oh, I’m totally channeling Yoda, Claudette! M went to see the new Star Wars movie with his co-workers so there’s been a lot of SW references lately ;-). Happy, happy holidays! xo

    Happy holiday Sanae, and take care of you:) Another book I’m reading: I avoid anyone Oprah gets in her sights even if they are wonderful just because:( but now after so many years I’m reading The Power of Now.
    I wish I had found it earlier, but we learn things when we’re ready to learn them! Just happy to have read it now: NOW:)
    Happy New Year! Annelieke
